RECOVERY PROGRAM FEES
9-month Program

Includes room & board and all program costs.
The cost for the Green Oak Ranch Residential Recovery Program is $500 per month with an additional $235 intake fee (So, the first month is $735).
*This price is deeply subsidized and only possible because of the generous support of our donors and the voluntary work program residents participate in that includes 30-35 hours per week serving in various roles supporting the operation of the ranch.
Part of recovery is
rediscovering one’s purpose in life.
This is often found in the joy of serving others. Serving on a work team is consistently referred to as a highlight of our resident’s recovery experience on the Ranch. Discovering “servant-leadership,” is powerful in the recovery process and fuels a sense of dignity and normalcy while on the path to a more hopeful future.
Work Teams
Work teams include:
Groundskeeping
Food prep/dining hall operation
Housekeeping

day-to-day living at the ranch
The residential recovery program at Green Oak Ranch uses a “social model,” involving group living, group and individual therapy, work, and participation in a variety of spiritual and recovery-focused meetings throughout the week.
Meetings and program activities are under the leadership of our Men’s Program Director and residents must agree to the program guidelines upon admission to the program. Residents who violate the rules may receive probationary restrictions or may be released from the program.
Your faith background
People from all faith backgrounds are welcome at the Ranch, and conformity to a particular religion is not required.
We believe success in recovery depends on a connection to our Creator and residents are invited to consider a relationship with Jesus Christ. Bible studies, prayer, and other Christian elements are central to the program.
Outcomes
2 things are true of any recovery program –
No program is perfect, and recovery is a journey, not a destination.
As with all programs, results are ultimately tied to an individual’s choices and actions. In our decades of experience and thousands of residents, we have found that those people who are willing to do the difficult work of recovery, and fully submit to their Creator, experience lasting sobriety. Green Oak Ranch is a safe place where men and women can find the time, support, and resources to begin a whole, healthy life free of drugs and alcohol.
Following the initial 9-month program, we offer a 6-month transitional living program at the Ranch. We also partner with several other sober living programs that are all designed to support a successful transition back into work/life in the community.

Nine months from now is going to be here, regardless of whether you commit to a recovery program or not. The question is, what will your life look like nine months from now? Will you be on the road to a whole, healthy life that isn’t ruled by drugs or alcohol. Will you be restoring your relationships, employment and other connections? It likely took a lot longer than nine months to get to this point. In the experience of our successful program graduates it takes time and space to work through the complex issues that contribute to addiction, and to allow God to work in your life. Nine months is just the beginning, but it is the time you need.
