Residential Program

    Our vision at The Refuge is to treat each client individually by:
  • Providing an environment of healing in a safe and friendly atmosphere. Healing will be encouraged through classical, individual, group and experiential therapy.
  • Encouraging all clients to be involved in every aspect of their treatment plan.
  • Providing assessments to each client in order to meet his or her social and cultural needs.
  • A treatment approach that is based on individual assessment.
  • Offering a wide variety of services to clients (clinical, medical, case management and ancillary) to include intensive therapy for substance abuse, process addictions, PTSD/Trauma Resolution, Co-Dependency, Family Healing, Dual Diagnosis and Impaired Professionals.
  • Facilitating patients and their families in the decision making process

The Refuge residential program is one of the nation's leaders in Trauma and Addictions Treatment. For the past eight years, The Refuge has specialized in treating Trauma/PTSD, Substance Abuse, Process Addictions, and all Self Destructive Behaviors.  The Refuge uses 12 step based recovery, experiential therapy and holistic modalities to assist clients from around the world in uncovering the layers of trauma and underlying issues that have caused their life to become unmanageable. Located on 94 acres of the Ocala National Forest, The Refuge offers serenity, seclusion, and tranquility, making it the perfect place to heal.

Typical Day at The Refuge

A day at The Refuge includes meditation in the morning followed by a community meeting where clients and staff discuss any changes to the daily schedule. After the community meeting clients usually attend their primary caseload. Primary caseload is one and half to two hours long, with six to nine other clients and meets five times a week. Primary caseload is with their therapist that manages their clinical chart, develops treatment plan, and maintains family and referent contact. When primary caseload ends clients will have an hour or so to attend either step group or work on therapeutic assignments.

The second half of the day starts off with trauma caseload. Trauma caseload is similar to primary caseload but meets with a different therapist, different clients and meets one less time a week. After trauma caseload clients have free time, this time can be used to meet with a therapist, work on assignments, enjoy the property, contact family and friends, or just relax.

Schedule

Family Week

The Refuge Family Week consists of a variety of different educational presentations, experiential groups, and individual sessions that allow family members to understand behaviors, mend relationships, and establish boundaries. The Refuge understands that when clients come to treatment, they are not the only ones that need to heal and regain a healthy state of living. A The Refuge we consider this four day therapeutic program to be a very integral part of the treatment process.

* Family weeks are every six weeks and require client and counselor approval. *
