About Oaks Recovery – Greenwood
Oaks Recovery sits on a tranquil, rural property in Greenwood, South Carolina. Their mission is to provide affordable addiction treatment to anyone who wants help. They offer residential recovery services for adult men and women. Clients can choose either short or long term intensive recovery. They don’t offer detox or mental health care for co-occurring disorders.
The short term intensive program can last up to 42 days. Everything is centered around the 12 Step program. While some addiction treatment centers modify the program, that’s not how it works here. They use the 12 Step program exactly as it was first developed for Alcoholics Anonymous. While you’re in treatment, you’ll work all 12 Steps of the program.
The long term intensive program requires a four month commitment. It’s designed for people who may need more time to prepare for successful sober living. Staying in the program longer allows you more time to build supportive relationships with other people in recovery. If you choose the long term intensive, you’ll also get vocational assistance.
Both recovery programs provide a lot of daily structure. Days will be filled with individual recovery coaching and 12 Step workshops and meetings. Peer recovery coaches are a huge part of the recovery program. They have personal experience with addiction and recovery. Most residents feel like the guidance from their coach is priceless. Peer recovery coaches and other support staff are onsite 24/7.
Men and women work on their recovery in separate living spaces. Men stay in dorms and cottages, with up to six residents. Women enjoy a warm, spacious environment at Willow House, with rooms for up to four. There are comfortable common areas and even a basketball and volleyball court for some friendly competition!
Speaking of fun, all work and no play is not a good recipe for sobriety. Addiction often takes over and makes it hard to truly enjoy life. You can unlearn that during recovery. From creative workshops to yoga and karaoke, there’s always something fun to do!
If you can commit to spending 2-4 months in an intensive program, Oak Recovery may be a great fit!
