Healing Begins Here
Residential Treatment Facility FundA Healing Home Away From Home
Treating and healing mental health diagnoses and addiction occurs most effectively in a homelike, nurturing environment. Infusing belief in each person’s potential combined with specialized therapeutic resources in a homelike environment brings transformative new beginnings to hundreds of individuals each year. This therapeutic, nurturing approach is just part of the success made possible in our Residential Treatment Facilities (RTFs).
Adele Gilbert, Darlington, and ARTS Residential Treatment Facilities need your support to freshen up these nurturing and healing spaces.
Living in a healing, temporary home environment also requires a supportive housing environment helped by such aesthetics as fresh paint, wall art, unworn furniture, outdoor seating and access to recreational activities such as gardening, reading, cooking or even a game of ping-pong fosters positive routines and purposeful social interactions to help residents thrive.
Creating a ‘home away from home’ means maintaining a home-like space. From a fresh coat of paint to new sturdy and comfortable furniture to new floors, the residential therapeutic communities at Darlington & Adele Gilbert Residential Treatment Facilities need our support to remain the trusted resource for healing.
“Without Darlington Residential Treatment Facility, I wouldn’t be where I’m at today.” – Jessi

For those dealing with addition and mental health challenges, unstructured time and isolation are the most challenging parts of recovery. Access to activities such as gardening, cooking, and game time foster routines and thoughtful, purposeful social interaction for our clients who thrive when provided with opportunities structured and supported downtime.
People can make mistakes, and people can struggle, and they can overcome them. And that is the message we give to our residents every single day.
