The focus on creating a loving, supportive "sisterhood" in a home-like environment, combined with a lifetime guarantee for graduates, makes it a unique place for healing.

Is the program faith-based?

Do you accept insurance?
Yes, Renaissance Refuge accepts most major private insurance plans, including BCBS, United Healthcare, Cigna, Aetna, Anthem, Tricare, and Humana.

Yes, they provide on-site sub-acute detoxification. For cases requiring a higher level of medical supervision, they will refer clients to a partner medical detox facility before admission.
Is Suboxone (MAT) permitted?
Clients can be admitted while on Suboxone, but the program's policy is to create a plan to taper them off the medication. They do not support long-term maintenance on Suboxone.
Daily Life, Rules & Family
What is the living situation like? Can I get my own room?
The living situation is a comfortable, home-like house. Clients will have shared rooms and bathrooms. Private rooms are not available, as shared living is integral to fostering community and peer support.
Is this a closed/locked facility?
No, it is an open campus. The doors are not locked, and clients are expected to take personal responsibility for their commitment to the program.
Can I use my phone/laptop? Is smoking allowed?
No to both. Personal electronics like phones and laptops are not permitted to help clients "unplug" and focus on recovery. Smoking and vaping are also not allowed, though clients can use nicotine pouches, patches, or gum.
What should I bring? What should I leave at home?
Bring: 1-2 weeks of clothing (including exercise/church attire), personal toiletries (non-aerosol, alcohol-free), approved medications, personal comfort items (pillow, photos), and approved nicotine products.
Leave at Home: Phones/electronics, large amounts of cash, drugs/alcohol, weapons, stimulants, pain medication, and clothing with inappropriate imagery.
Who provides care here? Are there psychiatrists on staff?
Care is provided by a team of doctors, therapists, and counselors. A typical week includes doctor's appointments, therapist and counselor sessions, and over 40 hours of group therapy. Specifics on staff credentials (e.g., psychiatrists, psychologists) are not listed. Are you the owner? Claim this listing to provide staff details.
Who will be in treatment with me?
You will be in treatment with other adult women from various backgrounds. The program is 12-Step based and incorporates Christian principles, so the community may share these values. The facility serves a general population with private insurance. The occupancy is small, between 16-30 women, fostering a close-knit environment.
What is the family involvement and visitation policy?
Family involvement is highly encouraged through educational groups that focus on recovery principles. Weekly family visits are allowed, except during brief "blackout" periods at the beginning and end of the program. Clients are also permitted a small amount of time for phone calls each day.
What kind of aftercare and follow-up support is available?
Renaissance Refuge offers a robust aftercare program, including Continuing Care groups and a strong Alumni program with meetings and sober social events. They also offer a unique "lifetime guarantee": graduates who complete the entire recommended program can return for future services if needed, free of charge.
