    Our Programs

Our dream was to create the ideal treatment center. Our vision required that the structure itself be beautiful, unique, and natural blending harmoniously with its surroundings. Most of all, it had to have the ambiance of a healing community, a sanctuary possessing a certain quality. After years of searching, we discovered this hidden gem, high upon a ridge, looking out amidst thousands of acres of state woodlands and the scenic Meremec River. We knew our search had ended and our dream would be a reality.

Residential Program Schedule


Step Down (Partial Hospitalization):

Our Step Down program is usually a transition from residential care. The programming focus is less on stabilization and more toward life skills to reinforce learned coping skill and healthy eating habits to facilitate long term recovery. There is greater autonomy in order to try out and practice utilizing the newly learned skills. Please see the attached group schedule for more information.

Our day treatment program is for clients living in or around the St. Louis community who can commute to treatment when an overnight stay is not a necessary component of treatment.

Clients attend the residential program and also receive 3-4 individual sessions with their primary therapist, one Psychiatrist and one dietician session weekly.
