We verify your insurance and walk you through the admissions process step by step — so you can focus on healing, not logistics.
Regain Control and Confidence in a Safe, Structured Environment
If outpatient therapy hasn’t helped you feel stable, and symptoms like depression, anxiety, PTSD, or emotional dysregulation are getting worse, you may need more than weekly check-ins.
Our residential mental health program is built for adults who need consistent, immersive support in order to reset, rebuild, and recover. Whether you’re stuck in a cycle of emotional highs and lows, struggling to function day to day, or just feel overwhelmed and disconnected, this is where you can finally begin again.

Our Unique Approach for Long-Term Stability
First Light Recovery is different by design. We don’t treat surface symptoms — we focus on lasting change.
Here’s how we do it:
Small home-based setting that feels safe and private
Clinical intensity including daily therapy and licensed staff on-site
Individualized care plans for depression, trauma, anxiety, and mood disorders
Real-world skill development to support healthy relationships, independence, and emotional regulation
Evidence-based treatments like DBT, CBT, and trauma-informed approaches
We don’t just help you stabilize. We help you learn how to stay well — and thrive.
When You Can’t Heal Alone — We’re Here
Most of our clients have already tried talk therapy, medications, or short-term outpatient programs. They come to us because nothing has truly worked — and they’re tired of patching things together.
We help adults who are:
Struggling with major depression or persistent anxiety
Living with unresolved trauma or PTSD
Managing personality disorders that affect relationships and stability
Burned out from high stress, emotional exhaustion, or isolation
Experiencing recurring emotional breakdowns or shutdowns
When you feel like your life is falling apart — or never fully came together — First Light Recovery helps you build the structure and stability you’ve been missing.
