The Amity Circle Tree Ranch Mission Statement
Amity is a non-profit organization dedicated to the creation and implementation of community services for individuals struggling to overcome the hardships and personal devastation resulting from alcoholism and substance abuse, gambling addiction, eating disorders, and other self destructive behaviors, as well as depression, anxiety, and other co-occurring disorders.
Circle Tree Ranch, an Amity Foundation Teaching and Therapeutic Community, provides the resources, setting and climate for drug and alcohol recovery, personal growth and transformation. The faculty at Circle Tree Ranch is compassionate towards and committed to those who have sought alcohol and drug treatment from substance abuse counselors, psychiatrists, outpatient clinics and residential rehabilitation programs, and have been unable to stop their drug use and self-destructive, anti-social behaviors. Addiction treatment services provided at Circle Tree Ranch foster individual dignity, self-reliance, integrity, understanding, and hope. Our recovery programs emphasize the crucial role of community and family in shaping values, and are sensitive to cultural and ethnic differences.
Circle Tree Ranch provides substance abuse treatment services to individuals with a diversity of special needs including but not limited to:
- Co-occurring mental disorders
- Mothers and fathers with children
- Eating disorders
- Trauma; PTSD
- Victims of violence
- Gambling addiction
- Involvement with child protective services
- Involvement with the criminal justice system
Amity's primary efforts are divided into three areas:
- Research and investigation into the root causes of dysfunctional behavior, and restorative methodology
- Development of model approaches for prevention, intervention, education, habilitation and rehabilitation
- Provision of professional development and training for dissemination of information
Amity’s Circle Tree Ranch emphasizes community, credible role models, interpersonal communication, student participation, and group interventions in order to create mutually supportive relationships among residents. Amity’s goal is to effectively replicate a physically and emotionally safe, recovery community in which students learn, practice and internalize a healthy lifestyle, positive decision making, and pro-social behaviors. A commitment to individual respect and service to others form the basis of all Amity services. |
