Potters House

Potters House delivers a comprehensive 12-month residential treatment program designed for individuals seeking long-term recovery from addiction, chemical dependency, and trauma. The extended program duration allows residents to progress through multiple phases of recovery while building sustainable life skills and community connections essential for successful reintegration.

Treatment programming combines individual counseling, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), clinical groups, and process groups facilitated by certified peer specialists. The residential treatment model emphasizes trauma-informed care principles, addressing underlying PTSD and mental health conditions that often accompany substance use disorders. Life skills classes, GED training, computer literacy, and job training components prepare residents for successful transition to independent living.

The 550-acre farm setting provides a unique therapeutic environment where residents engage in meaningful work and community living as part of their recovery process. This agricultural setting removes individuals from urban environments and potential triggers while fostering responsibility, work ethic, and connection to nature as healing elements.

Farm-based activities complement traditional addiction treatment methods by providing structured daily routines, physical activity, and tangible accomplishments that build self-esteem and purpose. The expansive property allows for various therapeutic and recreational activities while maintaining a secure, supportive environment for individuals in different stages of recovery.

Potters House serves diverse populations including veterans, young adults aged 18-25, seniors, LGBTQ individuals, and those with court-ordered treatment requirements. The facility specializes in co-occurring disorders, providing integrated treatment for individuals managing both addiction and mental health conditions simultaneously.

Veterans receive specialized support addressing military-related trauma and PTSD alongside addiction treatment. The program accommodates individuals with HIV/AIDS support needs and maintains inclusive policies for LGBTQ community members. Financial assistance ensures access to comprehensive residential treatment regardless of economic circumstances, removing barriers to long-term recovery programming.

The Christian-based program framework integrates faith elements with clinical addiction treatment methods, appealing to individuals seeking spiritually-informed recovery approaches. This model combines traditional therapeutic interventions with faith-based support, creating a comprehensive treatment experience that addresses spiritual, emotional, and psychological aspects of addiction.

Certified peer specialists provide ongoing support throughout the residential treatment experience, offering lived-experience perspectives that enhance clinical programming. The faith-based approach complements clinical therapeutic methods rather than replacing them, creating multiple pathways for individuals to connect with recovery principles and community support systems.
