Spring Lake Ranch Therapeutic Community Company

Spring Lake Ranch Therapeutic Community offers licensed residential treatment and a variety of transitional options in the Green Mountains of Vermont. Our mission is to support and empower people with mental health and substance abuse issues by providing opportunities to grow and thrive. Through shared experience, meaningful work and active participation in an accepting diverse community, we help each person develop the confidence and skills to recover.

Since its founding in 1932, Spring Lake Ranch Therapeutic Community has offered a healing community for people with mental illness or dual diagnosis. At the core of the Ranch is the belief that recovery can best begin in a community where each person is respected and contributes. At the the Ranch, people are treated as individuals, not as patients or cases.

Spring Lake Ranch is a working community where all members contribute in their own unique ways. In taking an active role in the work and life of the community, people regain the sense of self often forgotten in the course of a long illness or addiction. Our experiential hands on work program, combined with regular sessions with onsite therapists and the addition of pharmacotherapy when necessary, makes Spring Lake Ranch a dynamic therapeutic experience in a natural and inclusive environment.
