The Ginger House — home

Our program

A rhythm that looks like a life

Not a schedule of appointments — a household with a steady, humane rhythm, where the work of recovery is woven into the ordinary shape of a day.

The shape of a day

Daily rhythm

Morning

A gentle start

Wake at a humane hour. Quiet time, a shared breakfast at the kitchen table, and a short check-in to set intentions for the day.

Midday

Life in motion

School, work, volunteering, or appointments — each resident's schedule is her own. House staff help with logistics, transport planning, and encouragement.

Afternoon

Support and skills

Therapy appointments, groups, and life-skills practice: cooking together, budgeting, planning a week that includes rest.

Evening

Community and wind-down

A shared dinner, unhurried. Then free time — books, board games, the porch, phone calls home — and a consistent, calming close to the day.

The rhythm flexes around each resident’s real commitments — classes, shifts, appointments — while the anchors of the day stay steady. Predictability where it protects; flexibility where it teaches.

How we support recovery

Therapeutic supports

Therapy coordination

We coordinate individual and group therapy with each resident's existing clinicians, and help establish local care when needed. Your treatment team stays your treatment team.

Nutrition support

Registered dietitian involvement, meal support grounded in community rather than surveillance, and steady practice with the ordinary rhythms of eating in a home.

Life-skills practice

Cooking together, grocery planning, budgeting, laundry, scheduling — the small competencies that make independent life feel possible rather than overwhelming.

School and work reintegration

Support returning to classes, a job, or a search for either — at a pace matched to each resident's recovery, with staff help navigating accommodations.

Family involvement

Regular family updates (with resident consent), family sessions coordinated with the treatment team, and guidance for supporting recovery from home.

Length of stay

How long do residents stay?

Length of stay is flexible and individualized — typically several months, decided together by the resident, her family where appropriate, and her treatment team. Recovery sets the pace; the calendar doesn't.
