Co-Dependency

At the Ranch, we recognize codependency as a primary, life-threatening disease, and integrate codependency treatment into every aspect of our program, in addition to providing on-site Codependents Anonymous meetings. Even those of us who recognize other addictions as our primary issue, discover profound difficulties in knowing what we want or feel, taking care or ourselves, setting boundaries, controlling others, or changing ourselves to meet others’ expectations. These challenges make codependency recovery a crucial component of recovery for all of us.

Each component of our program brings it’s own particular strength to our codependency treatment. Since codependency develops within the relationships of childhood and adult life, the focus on family-of-origin and core issues provided in our program is ideally suited to treating codependency. The therapeutic community presents an opportunity to explore dysfunctional patterns of relation to others, as well as to practice new skills of healthy communication and managing personal boundaries.

The Equine and Adventure Therapy Programs directly address the fundamentals of relationships, with individual attention around resolution of problems in current relationships as well as unresolved issues from past relationships. In individual therapy, our clients identify how the codependent patterns in their relationships begin in their relationship with themselves.

Day by day, they support each other in building more aware, loving, and empowered relationships with themselves and each other.
