Unfortunately, issues of trauma and violence and so forth that a lot of our ladies have experienced in life and at times are experiencing in the moment, you know, they're coming to the lodge to a safe place.
Imagine a place where women struggling with substance use disorders find not just treatment, but a supportive community that understands their unique challenges. In this episode of 'Recovery Talks: A Fairbanks Podcast', host Kathleen Gill sits down with Jay Harpring, the manager of Fairbanks La Verna Lodge for Women. They chat about the lodge's new location and the specialized care it offers to women on their recovery journey.
La Verna Lodge isn't just any treatment center; it's a lifeline for women who need extended residential care but might not have the means to afford it. Funded by Marion County family recovery court, this insurance-based facility ensures that financial barriers don't stand in the way of recovery. The lodge's approach is deeply personalized and trauma-informed, acknowledging the past traumas many women have faced.
A typical day at La Verna includes medication management, therapy, case management, and evening step groups, all designed to create a holistic recovery environment. One story that stands out is of a young woman who arrived at the lodge with numerous challenges and a resistance to treatment. Thanks to the dedicated volunteers and tailored care, she managed to turn her life around and sustain her recovery.
Harpring highlights the importance of individualized treatment plans and sticking to therapeutic advice for long-term success. The lodge also connects patients with other resources at Fairbanks, such as trauma groups and intensive outpatient programs. The staff at Fairbanks are passionate about making a difference in the lives of those in recovery, embodying the spirit of 'Together We Can'.
