Our Approach

Divided Sky in Vermont

Addiction is a widespread issue that adversely affects people across the country. At The Divided Sky Residential Recovery Program, we have created a program for people who want recovery. Our non-clinical model is designed to motivate and inspire without judgment. We recognize that addiction is a disease and not an absence of willpower.

We teach our guests to make positive changes and work toward the best versions of themselves. Being in recovery means being proactive in one’s life. Guests learn the importance of setting boundaries, being honest with themselves and others, and designing a healthy and stable life free from mood-altering substances.
Our recovery programs include, but are not limited to:
  • 12-Step program
  • Life Skills
  • Recreational Activities
  • Emotional Sobriety
  • Mindfulness practices
  • Family engagement
  • Volunteering
Feeling hopeless is a state of mind that people experience during active addiction. We instill hope in our guests with workshops and programming that help to envision a life not only free from substances but a life where they can thrive and flourish. That tiny seed of hope can lead to the confidence needed to take that next step. Recovery is hard work, but it is worth every bit of energy to find that freedom. With the right combination of programs and the support of our community, recovery is an achievable goal.

Feeling safe and secure in one's environment is vital for recovery. It allows individuals to open up about their struggles, seek support, and work through their issues without fear of judgment or harm

Relaxing surroundings can foster positive emotions and a sense of well-being, which are important for motivation and maintaining a positive outlook during recovery.

Establishing healthy eating habits can be a part of a broader lifestyle change, encouraging other positive behaviors and routines that support long-term recovery.

Substance abuse can cause significant damage to the body, including the liver, heart, and other vital organs. Proper nutrition helps repair this damage and supports overall physical health.

By incorporating exercise and outdoor activities into their recovery plan, individuals can experience a range of benefits that support their journey towards sobriety, providing a well-rounded approach to healing and personal growth.

Combining physical activity with the calming effects of nature promotes holistic health, addressing physical, mental, and emotional aspects of recovery.
