Our Unique Model
Divided Sky: Hope for Recovery
The Divided Sky Residential Recovery Program staff provides compassionate, non-judgmental emotional support to those who are ready to embrace recovery. Through supportive group programming, workshops, and educational guidance, our guests learn how to avoid relapse and embrace sustainable, long-term sobriety. Our team consists of individuals with lived experience who understand the needs and struggles of people in early recovery.
Those seeking genuine support and community on their recovery journey will find connection and compassion at Divided Sky. We believe that addiction is a disease and that the best approach to finding recovery involves respect and understanding. Addiction can be isolating, but community can help you move forward with courage.
Our program uses the twelve guiding principles found within The Promises, which Alcoholics Anonymous co-founder Bill Wilson originally wrote. Several central themes run through The Promises, including the fact that for those who stay sober, there is a beautiful life beyond addiction waiting for them. We believe that if people can conceptualize this promise of a better life, they will be much more likely to achieve long-term recovery.
Guests connect with each other through daily group sessions, outdoor recreation, and educational programming. Your peers have been where you are and understand what it’s like to go through the daily struggles of addiction and recovery. Through our unique model, we give everyone in our care ample opportunities to form lasting bonds with their peers, which helps nurture an environment where genuine friendships can grow and flourish.
Those on the journey to recovery will benefit from the fact that we work closely with other organizations and clinics to provide meaningful, customized aftercare options.
Strength in Community
No two guests at the Divided Sky Residential Recovery Program are alike, and we celebrate that fact. Each one of our guests brings with them a unique perspective and outlook. Together, unique individuals create the fabric of community. We believe that when people come together to navigate everyday struggles, there is strength found to make significant change.
