Residential Mental Health Support for When Life Feels Overwhelming

Residential Mental Health Support for When Life Feels Overwhelming

When you’re living with depression, even the simplest tasks — getting out of bed, taking a shower, answering a text — can feel impossible. You might be exhausted all the time, disconnected from the people around you, or stuck in a loop of numbness, shame, and hopelessness.

At First Light Recovery, we understand what it means to live with depression. Our residential treatment program for adults is designed to provide the structure, therapy, and support needed to move forward — even when it feels like you’ve hit rock bottom.

Understanding Depression

Depression is more than just sadness. It’s a serious mental health condition that can affect your thoughts, body, emotions, motivation, and relationships. And while it may feel endless, it is treatable.
