Dawn Farm
Since 1973, Dawn Farm has met community needs with compassion, creativity and hope. From our humble roots in 1973 to the current array of community programs, Dawn Farm’s plainspoken ideal has always been the same—to be the place where addicts and alcoholics could go for help, regardless of their ability to pay.
For many years, Dawn Farm has offered a continuum of services to help addicts and alcoholics achieve long term recovery. With residential services, supportive transitional housing, outpatient treatment, sub-acute detoxification and a range of active outreach programs, Dawn Farm has always been there to help.
Dawn Farm also co-sponsors "Teens Using Drugs: What To Know and What To Do," a free, ongoing, two-part series presented in November, December, and January through June. This program was developed in 1999 by our friend Ron Harrison; the series is now presented by Dawn Farm and Growth Works therapists. For information about this program, please see http://www.teensusingdrugs.org or contact 734/973-7892 or tud@dawnfarm.org.
