About Rippling Waters Men’s Retreat and Recovery Center
Rippling Waters Men’s Retreat is a 400-acre private sanctuary where a 12-acre lake, miles of forested trails, a serene lookout point, and equine-therapy horses invite stillness. Treatment goes beyond stopping behaviors: it helps men uncover negative coping mechanisms—trauma, anger, guilt, and shame—so lasting change can occur. Through presence, purpose, and connection with up to 9 men, healing becomes embodied, sustainable, and deeply personal over time.
Actively Participate in the Path Forward
Rippling Waters is for men willing to face themselves fully and commit to meaningful, lasting change. The approach is not a quick fix, and it is not for men who want someone else to manage their recovery or stop a behavior without understanding its underlying causes. Each personalized program requires honest reflection and personal accountability through licensed individual therapy sessions multiple times per week, group sessions, equine-assisted therapy, experiential work, SMART Recovery, and more.
Slow Down & Reflect at a Secluded Retreat
Rippling Waters’ half-mile driveway intentionally marks the threshold between the life a man has been living and the one he is about to face. Miles of trails invite walking and reflection, not as an escape, but as preparation. In the main house, men stay in shared bedrooms and benefit from access to fitness equipment, a rec room, a sauna, and massage therapy. A chef provides homecooked meals three times daily.
Leave with Support and a Sense of Purpose
As men prepare to leave treatment, they walk away with a sense of brotherhood and a clear path forward. The team helps each man line up next-step support, including referrals to trusted outpatient providers, therapists, and groups near home, so he isn’t left trying to figure it out alone. Rippling Waters remains a steady point of connection after discharge, offering ongoing check-ins and telehealth support when additional guidance is needed.
