Willowdene Farm does not rehabilitate its residents, it provides an environment filled with opportunities for rehabilitation.  Ultimately recovery, release and healing is the product of the resident’s own efforts and desire to leave their past behind. That effort and desire establish a foundation from which each resident can build a purposeful, drug-free life in a working society.

The dictionary definition of rehabilitation offers four components:

• To restore to good health or useful life, as through therapy and education
• To restore to good condition, operation, or capacity
• To reinstate the good name of
• To restore the former rank, privileges, or rights of

Willowdene Farm offers residents the opportunity to seize each of those four components: restoring health, purpose, operation, and capacity, and providing a chance to build, often for the first time, a good name and to grasp all of the opportunities and privileges that are generally afforded to those of ‘good reputation’.

At Willowdene Farm, the purpose of rehabilitation is to provide an opportunity for everyone, irrespective of their past, to step into the life they were made to live, free from addiction and engaged in a purposeful, unfolding future.
