Renew at Ashley

Recovery Enhancement/Relapse Prevention Program

• Who: Adults over the age of 18 who have three consecutive months or more of sobriety. Participants must be able, both emotionally and physically, to take part in six to eight hours of group activities and lectures per day. If you have a friend or family member currently enrolled as a patient at Ashley, please wait until they have completed inpatient treatment before you come to Renew. Any adult in recovery can attend – you don't have to be an Ashley alum to participate in Renew. In fact, we encourage people from all recovery paths to participate. And, if you are a treatment professional in recovery, this can be a perfect way to re-center yourself and recharge your batteries. Renew at Ashley is limited to ten or fewer participants per session.

• Where: Activities will be held on the picturesque, 147-acre Ashley campus. Transportation is available (upon request) to and from local lodging and Ashley each day of the program.

• When: Renew at Ashley is offered several times per year. The program runs from Thursday evening until Sunday noon. Participation in all Renew sessions is required for the full program so that the group may fully benefit from each individual's participation.

• Price: $795 per person

• registration for all Renew activities including Thursday evening workshop
• small group sessions led by Gorski-certified relapse counselors (two Friday, two Saturday and one on Sunday)
• specially tailored educational lectures led by credentialed speakers
• all program materials
• access to Ashley grounds and chapel for meditation, walking, jogging, communing with nature
• Friday and Saturday lunch and dinner (optional) and Sunday lunch provided on campus by Ashley's gourmet chef and culinary staff
• transportation to/from outside lodging

• Accommodations: Discounted rates are available at the nearby Hilton Garden Inn. The hotel has a pool, fitness center, free internet access, complimentary breakfast and a full business center. Transportation to and from Ashley will be offered each day.
   

Included in your program materials will be a guide for local restaurants, sights, activities and 12 Step meeting locations for your evenings away from campus. Renew groups are encouraged to attend local 12 Step meetings together or hold their own 12 Step meetings to enhance their experience. Space is limited to ten or fewer participants per program. The program size is designed to allow intensive personal attention for each Renew group member. 

Register early to reserve a place for yourself or a loved one! Renew at Ashley is the perfect birthday, holiday or anniversary gift for someone in recovery.
