The Ranch PA was a true gift to my life. Not only does their staff truly care for every patient no matter the diagnosis or personality, they also deliver second to none information on both substance abuse and mental health. Like most I was a bit apprehensive about entering treatment. The Ranch took my expectations and shattered them. Morning meditations were peaceful and a great way to start my day centered. I'm still using that practice now, several weeks after completing treatment. As mentioned previously, the staff made me feel at home. From the RA's to the nurses to the therapists to the psychiatrists, everyone of them made me feel loved and comfortable. They also pushed me where I stalled, helped me through troubling emotions and delivered coping skills that really work for me.I would be remiss not to mention the adventure program. Not only are the internal groups full of tools for all types of mental health, substance abuse and personalities, the adventure program adds another layer to your treatment experience. I was at The Ranch in February - a very cold month - so I was skeptical that the adventure program would be as fulfilling as if I was there during a warmer month. Boy was I wrong. Ryan and Andrew deliver great information through powerful experiential activities. It was a great tool to make the treatment schedule anything but mundane, and also a great tool for self discovery. Family day was awesome and gave my family more information about how I operate. It also gave them tools for themselves. Don't miss family day loved ones! I got a new start thanks to The Ranch and I would recommend it to all of my loved ones if they needed help - mental health, substance abuse or dual. They set me up with a great aftercare program and plan that made me feel good about leaving treatment on the right foot. Also, Mandy May does a great job of keeping the community together after discharge through the Alumni Program - Rooted. It keeps you in touch with staff, clients and recovery. This alumni program also facilitates group activities and opportunities to give back to the community. Whether its speaking at the alumni meetings or getting together to feed the underprivileged, Rooted is always there to make sure you have a community that cares. I could go on forever about The Ranch but that is simply because it helped save my life and put me on a path to success. 5/5

The Ranch at Pennsylvania was the most incredible life-altering experience that I will forever cherish in my heart and soul. This was my first residential rehab; before arriving, I had the lowest expectations, but as soon as I was admitted and greeted by the lovely staff, my expectations were instantly proven wrong. The entire staff welcomed me with opened arms, warm smiles, and their uniquely bright personalities. I have never felt so endeared in my life as I did when walking in the doors of the Ranch... Admitting myself into this rehabilitation center changed my life for the better. I met a group of women that became family to me over the course of my stay. The groups that were held each day were incredibly touching and very insightful. Each therapist or residential aide that held the therapeutic group shared such perceptive, special enlightenment that has inspired me to be the person I am today. I was provided with a valuable set of coping skills that has eased my transition from the Ranch to my home. I will never forget the staff at the Ranch, for they have led me on a beautiful, eye-opening, and spiritual journey that altered my perspective on life for the better good. I thank each and every one of you guys for guiding me on the path that I needed to be on.

I went to The Ranch for 28 days in February 2017 for alcohol and drug addiction treatment, and I just celebrated 3 years clean - I wouldn't have gotten where I am today without the treatment I received at The Ranch. My experiences and interactions with all of the staff, from the nurses to the counselors to the RAs to the kitchen staff, was supportive and encouraging. The treatment offered is educational, therapeutic, spiritual and, for me, life saving. While there, I was introduced to the 12 step program that has kept me clean since I left The Ranch, and I also left with a detailed aftercare and recovery plan. I learned so much about myself and the disease of addiction at The Ranch, and have applied what I learned there every single day since. My gratitude to The Ranch truly is immeasurable, and I wouldn't be the Mom, Spouse, Daughter, Sister, Aunt and Friend I am today without the treatment I received there.

This place is Great! If your already serious about your recovey or not quit sure its dosnt matter the ranch is a very good place for you. It packed with caring and loving staff who will do anything for you along your path to recovery. I can't say enough on how far I have come in my life in the short 30 days I have been here. If your in a dark place in the depths of addiction, mental health or both I highly recommend the Ranch of Pennsylvania

The Ranch of Pennsylvania was a safe haven for me, one that I very much needed, while starting my journey on facing the trauma I lived through. The staff were always there if I needed to talk. They helped me to feel like I mattered while I tried to sort out my thoughts and feelings. I went in feeling timid and nervous, found myself and my voice again through their programs, and left knowing a little bit more that I was ok, that my past does not define me. If you have been through any sort of trauma, if you deal with depression and anxiety, if you have ever felt too scared to live, you should visit The Ranch. I know how heavy the darkness can feel, let the Ranch help you through it. It is worth it. You are worth it.

I came here with serious issues and addiction dragging me down to the bottom, and it is this place that I can contribute my new found self and my future success to. I have been to many programs through my life and I have NEVER seen such a well picked team of staff who so genuinely love and believe in this place's ability to heal. It does not get the credit it deserves. All the staff on any tier of the company are open and willing to listen and give you the time of day to be heard. Thank you again, Ranch of Pennsylvania.

So overall the experience has been great, but I think I was extremely lucky to have an amazing group of guys/ community to bond and grow with. I originally planned to just detox for 5 days, but ended up staying 10 days. If I was able to get out of work longer I think I would've stayed the 28 days to actually complete the program. Regardless I had learned so much about myself through the stories of clients and staff. The food was good, and the facility is nice even though you spend all your time in the main building or the cottages. Now, I must say... I came in on Thursday around lunch. My last use was that same morning at 7am. I did not get subutex until Friday at 7pm (well over peek withdrawal @ 24 hours). Needless to say I felt like death. When I asked how to check myself out I finally got the sub. But ya know, lose the pain lose the lesson as they say.Finally, I truly had a life changing experience during the adventure group (as many do). It was unexpected but came at the exact right time. I love the people I met here. They are for the most part dead serious about recovery. That's about all I have to say. Love The Ranch but hope I never have to return. Be strong and find help if you need it. It will be the best decision of your life.

I spent 27 days at "The Ranch" in Wrightsville PA and I cannot say enough wonderful things about the program and the support staff. I was treated with utmost respect and kindness while I was there. Don't get me wrong, I didn't want to go to rehab and everyday was not a picnic, but on day 27 I didn't want to leave. I am now 72 days sober and Loving It!!! I learned so much about myself and why I drank. I learned tools and coping skills while I was there to help me in my recovery, even though we don't know the future, with God's help and my coping skills I will continue to be a recovering alcoholic. I recommend "The Ranch" to everyone who needs help with substance abuse, mental health and eating disorders and is ready to start REALLY living again!!!Sober and truly Happy!!

Well let me just tell you about The Ranch of Pa. I came in after having a few years of sobriety. I just wanted absents. Well that didn’t happen. They kept me the whole 20 plus days. So as I told everyone when I got there. I came in with the cheat sheet. I hit the floor running being of maximum service. As I came to learn there wasn’t any recovery books. Just glad I had mine. I was ignorant to the fact of what codependency was after getting some books mailed in. Because I believed it was between male female not giving each other breathing room. My therapist was talking at me, not to me. Telling me I was codependent I voiced I needed a new therapist. It was suggested to give her a chance. So I had half of an assessment with her. Then had two arguments. As I stomped around like a 36 year old baby. I talked with the Adventure R.A. He planted the seed of codependency. Because whiskey defined who I was. Then speaking to a supervisor who is a dear friend. She watered that seed by saying something that she does and I do as well. Taking on other people’s problems as my own. I was intrigued with this news and blessed with the CoDA book which I never knew existed. I started reading it the next morning. As I read this book with an open mind. I learned that my one track mind was not so open. And I was a raging codependent person. I had 2 and a half years then had 3 and a half years. Helping everyone else and not myself took me out both times. I would like to say it was all rainbows and sunshine after that awakening but I have to be honest. My ego took over and I started to manipulate myself. Well I wanted out early so I could work my new program. Because I was blessed to have found someone that work the CoDA steps and I was so excited. I made it to the 4th step because there so different from other programs and there is work to be done. So with this newfound program. And a legitimate reason on leaving early. I approached my therapist. I didn’t want to leave and walk back into a stressed environment. I had three final exams for my summer classes that I needed to study for, I also started classes the following Tuesday. I felt that it would be counterproductive to go back to stress. When she said no I could not wrap my head around the reasoning. At that moment in time I swore that she received her degree from a cracker jack box. I thinked her for the opinion decline and would go AMA. As I stomped the way. It was suggested (by someone else) that I take some time and read the third step prayer. After her class I went back to her office and asked to call my sponsor. No was the answer I stomped away again. I found a very wise R.A. I knew this man on the outside and he knew me sober. He said a few wise words as he walked around wearing me as a shoe. I walked back down to my therapist office. I walked in there. I looked at her “feet” and started crying. I insured her that I did not want to drink anymore and that I was afraid. So she sat there like any good therapist and listened. She came up with a plan of action. Have someone bring your materials in so you can study. As I walked out of her office my mind raced again. The thought how counterproductive is this. The day I had my study guide I spoke this thought out loud. But at check-in God intervened. The lesson wasn’t counterproductive it was time management. With this exciting news I ran to her office she started crying. The Ranch of Pa isn’t like any other place. This was my first time in rehab. It was a life-changing experience. So many things had happened. They don’t just teach you. They allow you the time to process each lesson. They are the most patient people. With love and care in their hearts for all people. They do not look at this career is a paycheck. They look at you as God’s children in need of help. I know that the words that I’m writing give you no reason to believe me. Give yourself a brake and open your mind. My great thinking placed me at The Ranch of Pa aka funny farm. If you’re going don’t leave just learn to pray.

The Ranch changed my life for the better! The staff and therapists were incredible, and the groups were so insightful. I learned so much during my stay there. I’m fully committed to maintaining my sobriety, and I couldn’t have done it without The Ranch, PA. I will forever be grateful for the friends I’ve made there and the support system I’ve gained.

My experience here was extremely helpful and healing. The staff, food, environment, therapists, psychologists, nurses, facility and program were excellent. As a dual diagnosis client who stayed at this facility for a total of 27 days, I was cared for by compassionate staff and RAs and was given life altering resources, education and medical/emotional attention that has and will continue to stay with me through my personal recovery process. I would 10/10 recommend The Ranch of Pennsylvania to anyone suffering from substance abuse/mental health disorders.

I had an awesome experience here at The Ranch. I’ve definitely learned a lot and my life has made a complete 180 since I first got here. The staff is great and extremely helpful. As any facility, it has its flaws but there’s no such thing as a perfect place. I’ve made relationships and had an experience that I will never forget.

Well my experience at the Ranch was unexpected and i deffinitly didnt know what i wanted when i got there.. i spent 15 years searching for something and in 2 weeks i realized it was something inside myself the whole time.. the staff are excellent.. the therapists and Residential Aids both really care about the well being of every single client. I personally have been to over 20 diffrent rehabs and institutions and i can honestly say this was the best one by far. I learned alot about myself and what my purpose is in life. The community as a whole is a big family. One last thing. When i arrived at the ranch a member of the community told me miracles happen on this mountain... It happened to me.. it can happen to you to.

One of the RAs their sad once they witnessed miracles , well so did I . Almost daily of my stay I witnessed complete strangers come together for a common goal .... finding our own path and accepting help . I am grateful for every person I met during the time I spent .. The folks at the Ranch in PA are AMAZING

Just finished my treatment there for mental health. I was blessed that my insurance covered me for 4 weeks. It’s the most amazing place. Everyone has their opinions depending on their hard work and efforts they put. But it’s not because of the the staff. The RA are people who care and help is always there.Therapists and doctors are are amazing. Especially therapist Dara. What an amazing woman. Then is the kitchen staff. Lorraine the chef she cares so much and she came to us to ask us what we think about the food and bring us samples of next meal.And then Ryan and Drew. My 2 favorite RA. They took us to adventure groups. I never thought I would jump off a 30 foot platform but I did it. That was amazing and it was a big deal for people like me who never took a chance to get out of bed let alone going on adventures. So please don’t let all those bad reviews scare you. If you are looking for help I tell you that is the place to go. You need to work hard but on the end you will be the one to tell the difference. 🌺

Before I start, I would just like to put some disclaimers out:-I can only speak for the mental health part of the recovery, not substance abuse-I was in the women’s community, therefore I do not know how it differs from the men’s-This was the first residential treatment center I’ve been toMy time during the Ranch, PA was in February 2018. I don’t know if the staff is still the same, but I will mostly be speaking of my own experience there, so please don’t take my word as concrete things that must happen.I didn’t really have too many expectations coming here because I’d never been to a residential program before. I’d read all of the reviews online and they never really gave me a comprehensive view of what it would be like in the facility. Also, I had to keep in mind that people never really write reviews (in general) if they were satisfied with their care, people usually only write reviews when they have a bad experience.Everyone comes to the Ranch at their worst. The one thing I had to do, because I had nothing else, was that I had to have faith. I never really understood what faith meant, until I literally described it: I didn’t have any precedent indications to trust that these people will help me get better, but I still went along with it, letting them guide me while I’m blindfolded.So all I could do was have faith that I would get better. And some people have told me that I have! It’s like getting a tan, you never really know that your skin color has changed until someone who hasn’t seen you in a while tells you.A big part that they emphasize a ton is the community. It really depends on the people. One week I had a great time, the next… Well the staff tried their best. And I understand that I can’t control people! So even though there are times where the community might have some petty drama, I reminded myself that I am here for me, no one else. And I think that was a good mindset to keep when external problems caused by people came my way. But please don’t let me guide you into thinking that the women’s community was bad! It was amazing! Everyone was so supportive. And that’s just the clients, the staff are wonderful as well!Just a warning in advance: There’s a five-day “blackout,” meaning you don’t get to call or send letters to anyone outside of the facility for five days. After that, calls are usually Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends (if I remember correctly). Family and friends can also visit on Saturdays or Sundays, with consent from the therapist you are given there. Mail letters any time. It’s just those first five days, so be patient. Onto the activities themselves: I went to multiple groups a day (CBT, DBT, etc.) but I got breaks in between so it’s not too tiring. I was provided with so much, such as food and a laundry service, so that I only have to focus on myself, not other life factors. Also, on a side note, the food is really. Really. Good. There’s also this activity called “The Maze” and while it may have not been as impactful to me, there are so many others who say it’s life changing. Every activity is optional, so it’s okay if one can’t emotionally or physically participate, but... Don’t skip Maze Day.I think the one rule that everyone thinks is ridiculous is the division between men and women. There’s no “fraternizing,” as they say. Basically, I couldn’t really talk to the men since I was in the women’s group and vice versa. It’s a bit silly, but that division is important for some people, such as those who were traumatized by the other gender.Overall, my time there was pretty good. It didn’t really “fix” me, but I’m functional again. And I think that was the goal there. I got aftercare once I got out, just like everyone else. If I could give any advice, it would be to do everything! Try everything! So that you don’t have any regrets there.TL;DR: Good place based on my experience because I was open to the process.

Was only there 2 days because of insurance reasons. But, what I experienced was a great place with good people and great counselors and program. I would recommend the Ranch to anyone who is serious about recovery and long term sobriety. I am now in there IOP program. Good luck to you.

Excellent staff. Wonderful nurses. There is structure where it is needed and prepares you for aftercare and how to continue with sobriety. Highly recommended.

It's been almost a year since I was at the lovely "Bridgewater" Landing and it changed my life. I have nothing to compare it to, this has been my only experience at a rehab... but everyone from nurses, the clinical staff and the administration became more than advocates, they became friends. The facility was going through some growing pains while I was there, but that just made the experience that much more interesting. I traveled over 10 hours to come here for the main purpose of their Buddhist approach, which was there but limited and the dual-diagnosis ability to treat my cacophony of mental woes. I will say pack for all seasons, you never know what season it decides to be there and the winds are fierce up on the hill. The up side, pun intended, is that the vistas are grand, the stars are bright and the wildlife is amazing. Again, I have to thank everyone that works there for helping me through a very rough time and all the very strong men and women that fought with me to not be yet another statistic. This place really is a miracle, if you choose to make it yours and help out your brothers and sisters around you. Thanks Bridgewater...

Patients Love The Ranch in Pennsylvania

“I highly recommend The Ranch. The staff here is incredible. They have helped me through 15 years of insanity. I’ve learned the man behind the disease is a wonderful person, the person who can love and enjoy life. I’m genuinely happy.”

“My overall experience was quite fabulous. Don’t get me wrong, it’s rehab and it’s hard and emotional and there are days you want to just leave, but my therapy team here was fabulous, the RA’s in this house are amazing (WS) and the adventure days were not only a blast, they enabled me to have some pretty significant “ah ha” moments.”

“Coming to The Ranch is by far the greatest gift I have ever given myself. Here I learned how to access my personal power and the tools I needed to create a life of love and serenity. These have empowered me to have the life I always wanted, but didn’t know how to access.”
