About Spring Lake Ranch – Shrewsbury
Spring Lake Ranch is a drug rehab center that offers a very wide range of services to adults living in the Cuttingsville, Vermont, area. They offer residential treatment for those suffering from drug and alcohol addictions, as well as co-occurring conditions, which can include depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and more.
This ranch really piqued my interest because of their vast array of services. Their property has several homes that house anywhere between two to eight residents per household. They also have four crews that you can be assigned to. These include Farm Crew, Gardens Crew, Shop Crew, and Woods Crew.
Each of these crews will give you specific tasks throughout the day. You would be working five hours a day. For example, the Farm Crew will tend to the cows, sheep, chickens, goats and pigs, while the Gardens Crew will tend to the vegetable gardens, help in the kitchen, and more. The Shop Crew helps repair furniture and fix tools. The Woods Crew will spend their time in the 700-acre forest, gathering wood for different tasks around the property.
I thought this was such a cool and interesting way to connect with nature while you recover. I also like that they focus on your strengths rather than your weaknesses.
They also have great recreational activities such as hiking, skiing, swimming, camping, and canoeing. Their property also has a fully functional gym and fitness center, a basketball court, a tennis court, and a game room with billiards and table tennis. They even have indoor activities like pottery, yoga, music, sewing, knitting, and art.
