Green Oak Ranch

Green Oaks is an amazing place. My son is a resident and the change in him is astounding. Through this program he has gained self confidence and pride in moving forward in his life. He is healthy and clear headed. The ranch is beautiful and well maintained. The residents do work on the ranch, as they should. Sitting idle is not of benefit. Learning a skill, such as, garden and ground maintainence, construction, kitchen duties, and providing for themselves gives them the ability to help each other and themselves. Working here is only about four hours per day. The men develop commaradery and help the new people coming in. They let them know they can succeed and come from a place of showing through example someone who has been there BUT. is now flourishing.
In reponse to the prior person, I am not aware of any mentally ill people on the ranch. In fact there is a screening process, so they can access your needs. Most importantly when you have a loved one with addiction you are always worried, fearful for their well being, decisions, and safety. This place gives me peace of mind. I couldnt will him to get clean and he couldn’t do it on his own long term. One of the aspects of getting treatment when you are ready is not having an affordable place. At 400.00 per month this is very affortable. Many are spending tens of thousands.
As for religion… thankfully yes it is Christ based! Wouldn’t one rather have their loved ones healing be based on helping your fellow man, cherishing life, paying it forward? Growing daily in a future of love, honesty, consideration, making the right choices These are the things I think of when it comes to religion. I am thankful my son has strenghtened in this area.
Lastly I would like to say, at the end of this program you are not just turned out. They do help you with sober living, life skills and job oppurtunitites. Our family attends church on the ranch on Saturday evenings and have grown in faith as well. We love our son, and alway’s believed in him. The ranch gave him the help he needed when he needed it most. I am forever thankful.

Do not go here for drug rehab/​mental health. They will work you 8 hrs a day and push their religion on you. They take in mentally ill and do not have any training whatsoever in the mental health field. They lack understanding and compassion that is so important in working with those with a mental disability.
Not good
