About the Facility

Skyland Ranch is a drug and alcohol rehab facility in Gold Bar, Washington. The program serves adult men exclusively with short and long term stays, through treatment focused on building confidence and self esteem via the 12 steps and experiential therapy. They are a working ranch setting with rustic amenities. Skyland Ranch takes advantage of its natural surroundings (including wooded areas, hills, mountains, and a river) to create a serene and relaxing atmosphere that makes clients more receptive to treatment. Clients can stay in treatment as long as they like.

The inpatient program sees clients living at the ranch for the duration of treatment. The ranch provides an environment free from modern distractions where meaningful learning and introspection can take place. Residents range from 18 to 60 years old.

Staff experienced in treating addiction provide counseling individually and in groups. Much of this takes place in an experiential setting, like during a horse ride or when fishing. These recreational settings allow clients to open up and bond with one another, building healthy and supportive relationships.

Staff assigns a horse to each client during their stay. Over the course of treatment, clients learn to care for and bond with their horses, a practice known as equine therapy. This process helps the rehabilitation process by building confidence and responsibility.

Skyland Ranch uses the 12 step model as part of the treatment. This is the same group support program used by Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous. These meetings occur every night following other activities.

The 12 step program sees clients progress through a series of phases, starting with admitting they are powerless over their addictions. They must also surrender to a higher power, a self defined concept that need not be religious, and make amends with those they’ve wronged through their addiction (when appropriate). Ultimately, clients commit to helping others in addiction and supporting those making their way through the 12 steps.

Heart icon Treatment

book iconAlcoholism

Alcoholism is a chronic condition that often includes periods of relapse. A person with his alcohol addiction has become physically and/or psychologically dependent on alcohol. Often, alcohol use disorders occur alongside other mental health disorders. It is important to receive dual diagnosis treatment for both. Alcohol rehab in Washington can address co-occurring disorders through a variety of behavioral therapies and evidence-based approaches.

prescription iconDrug Addiction

Effective drug rehab in Washington integrates care for the whole person, offering comprehensive solutions to addiction. Treatment methods address mental, physical, and relational aspects of substance abuse.

file-medical iconMental Health and Substance Abuse

In Washington, dual-diagnosis rehabs provide comprehensive care for individuals facing both mental health and substance abuse challenges. These specialized facilities integrate evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and experiential therapy to address both aspects of your well-being. By providing personalized treatment tailored to your unique needs, addiction experts can help improve your mental health, help you achieve and sustain your recovery.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction.

Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

bed-front iconInpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

book-medical icon12-Step

12 step programs support participants’ psychological, spiritual, and emotional development as integral to sustained recovery. Though 12 step recovery programs are based on the belief in a non-denominational higher power, religious affiliation is not required. Group meetings are paper-led, anonymous, free, and available daily, including on holidays, in most communities. Peer sponsors selected by the participants provide one-on-one coaching and support. Specialized formats are widely available, including programming for youth, seniors, and families.

Equine Therapy

Equine therapy, aka equine-assisted therapy (EAT), is a form of experiential therapy that involves interactions and activities with horses. It does not necessarily involve riding horses, but all activities related to horses, such as feeding, grooming, haltering and leading them. A mental health professional frequently oversees the activities (often in conjunction with a horse professional), and helps patients process their thoughts, feelings, and behavior patterns during and/or after the interaction.

Group Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

Individual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Life Skills

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.
