Transitional Living Program

Top of the World Ranch Treatment Centre offers an exceptionally beneficial transition program.

Our Program takes place in a fully renovated home beautifully located on the ranch property but removed from the primary treatment facility.

The Home is tucked away in our ranch valley near a flowing creek with views of the mountains, rolling fields located on our ranch.

The Transitional Living Program home and red barn where we keep the hay for our 14 ranch horses.

Our program is currently limited to 8 men that have graduated from our primary alcohol and drug treatment program with a minimum completed stay of 45 days. The program is also open to persons that have graduated from another treatment center’s program and would like to attend the TLP at the ranch. For an individual from another program to attend we will need an admissions package completed and their release of information so that we can contact their centre of attendance to access their admissibility.

This next bit of information is what REALLY sets us apart and makes Top of the World Ranch Treatment Centre your best choice.

1. It is expected that clients will volunteer their time to participate in our work experience enhancement program. This program depending on the season will allow for our clients to take part in a variety of Ranch/Farm related activities. This volunteer work will take place in a supervised “team” environment.
2. The clients will take part in creating legacy projects that will benefit themselves and future clients of the ranch. This will benefit the TLP participant in that they will experience doing something for the benefit of others with no expectations other than the knowledge that they are a meaningful part of something and that this something is good. This will benefit our future clients with the gift of hope and an increase of their self worth, in that others, that were at one time in their current position, have moved on in their journey of recovery and have left them with this gift.
3. The clients will take part in supervised therapeutic ranch beautification projects, trail building and maintenance, ranch work projects etc.
4. The clients will further thier life skills in personal, relationship, career, and mental health benefits.

The beauty of the reasoning behind the clients working together in a therapeutic community for the good of the centre, their group and the benefit of others can not be overstated. Evidence shows that they will be present, creating, growing, enjoying, and building as part of a as a synergistic supervised team, working out and working on much amongst them selves both as a group and individually. This is a rare opportunity to live sober in a serenity conducive, but challenging environment, while learning to contend with life and many of life’s issues, in a safe setting, while using the ranch resources that are available to help them build upon their own strengths and to learn in one of the most beautiful settings that exists.

It is expected that the volunteering of client time for the horticultural and work therapies will occupy approximately 5 hours a day, 5 days a week for the duration of their stay at the TLP after which time we will provide references based on their work history with us.

There is a minimum of a one months stay.

The fee for this program $1,750 plus 5% goods and services tax.

We encourage you to call us with any questions regarding our TLP program.
