Little Hill - Alina Lodge

Nature-Based, Gender-Specific Residential Setting

On a wooded Blairstown campus near state parks, clients live in gender-specific lodges and follow a structured daily rhythm. Walking paths, gardens, fitness and yoga spaces, and areas for spiritual reflection offer quiet places to regroup between groups and individual sessions. As a non-profit program, the focus stays on stability and practical support, with a minimum 28-day stay and the option to remain longer when clinically helpful.

Safe Start: Detox and Medications for Addiction Treatment (MAT)

Admission can begin with monitored detox to manage withdrawal and transition directly into residential care. When appropriate, clinicians use medications for addiction treatment (MAT) to support early stabilization. This handoff from detox to a consistent residential schedule, paired with relapse-prevention planning and daily skills practice, helps maintain momentum in the first weeks of recovery.

12-Step Philosophy With Integrated Co-Occurring Care

Treatment is grounded in a 12-Step, abstinence-based philosophy and delivered across individual, group, and family formats. Care also addresses co-occurring needs, such as trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, anger, and eating disorders, and includes specialty groups for young adults, gambling, sexual compulsivity, relationship dependency, and spirituality. The highly structured routine and chronic-relapse programming provide added support for those returning after prior treatment attempts.

Family, Discharge Planning, and Alumni Support

Families are involved early through education and therapy to align goals, strengthen communication, and set healthy boundaries. Discharge planning begins well before completion to coordinate referrals, appointments, or extended stays when needed. After residential care, an alumni community offers ongoing connection, and transportation assistance may be available to help with logistics during transitions.
