Recovery at WildWood Farm, nestled along the Connecticut Shoreline, offers a specialized substance use program designed specifically for the LGBTQI+ community. This comprehensive extended care facility provides a unique 'queer-normative' campus where clients can discover authentic self-love through supportive programming tailored to their needs. Understanding that personal history shapes recovery, the center creates individualized treatment plans incorporating evidence-based approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and family therapy. The program features a distinctive farm-to-table lifestyle where clients participate in animal care, gardening, and household responsibilities while bonding with the farm's resident animals, including cats, goats, pigs, and a therapy dog. Recovery at WildWood Farm emphasizes an active, experience-based approach to healing through activities such as yoga, hiking, meditation, cooking, and local excursions. The supportive environment helps clients transition from shame-based identities to ones rooted in pride and self-acceptance, creating a truly affirming space for LGBTQI+ individuals seeking recovery.
