About Spruce Mountain Inn – Plainfield
Spruce Mountain Inn has been around for over 40 years. It’s a private residential treatment center that can accommodate up to 12 young adults from 18 to 28 who’re experiencing mental health and substance misuse challenges. You’ll find ‘em located in Plainfield, Vermont.
They’re just 10 minutes from Montpelier and close to the Winooski River. That means you can either go into town during community events and start reforming social bonds with your peers, or you can go along nature walks and enjoy the outdoors. Even though the priority is to recover from substance abuse, you can still have fun while healing your body, mind, and soul.
Once you sign up, you’ll focus on building life skills. They also provide guidance with school, work, and living a healthy life in addition to therapy. They have a 2:1 staff to client ratio, so you’ll get a lot of personal attention.
Residents spend a minimum of 30 hours each week in therapy. Treatment may include cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, and act and commitment therapy. Intensive counseling is offered during the day or evening to accommodate those with various work and home responsibilities.
Group therapy is at the center of the treatment program. If you’re working on substance use, there’s the Psycho-Education Group. You’ll learn how dopamine shapes behavior and how substances affect mental health. This group also covers spotting addiction that doesn’t have to be related to drugs. This can include online gaming or internet addiction. You’ll also get to join the weekly Living Sober Group or 12 Step meetings.
Art play a role in your healing. Activities like painting, music, and sculpture are proven to help people express feelings that might be hard to put into words. Attending their studio workshops provide opportunities to explore your creativity and connect with others.
Setting up a payment schedule can be a little tricky. It’s important to note that the center doesn’t bill insurance directly, so you’ll need to take care of that yourself. They also don’t offer financial assistance. This means that you’ll need to make sure you can cover the cost of treatment on your own in case you have to pay out of pocket. Speak to your insurer to see if they have any out of network benefits.
