If drugs or alcohol are taking over your life, you’re in the right place. Mending Fences provides private medical detox and residential treatment on a secluded 400-acre ranch in Morriston for addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders.
Mending Fences provides medical detox and residential treatment for addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders on a 400-acre private ranch that gives you room to breathe and reset.
You’ll work closely with licensed clinicians who understand what you’re facing. Treatment includes proven approaches like EMDR and family therapy. But what truly sets this program apart is the work you’ll do with our horses. Equine-assisted therapy is a core part of treatment here. It helps you build focus, accountability, trust, and emotional awareness in a hands-on, real-world way that’s hard to replicate in a traditional therapy room.
Here, “mending fences” isn’t just a name. It’s the process of repairing relationships, rebuilding trust, and addressing the damage addiction has caused.
If you’re ready to talk, call our admissions team. We’re here to answer your questions and help you take the next step.
Every patient is unique. We design recovery programs tailored to your individual needs, condition, and personal goals.
Using scientifically proven therapy methods like CBT, DBT, and family therapy for optimal results.
Modern facilities in a calm and comfortable atmosphere that supports your recovery process.
Addiction rarely develops in isolation. It often exists alongside trauma, chronic stress, or untreated mental health conditions. Effective treatment must address those layers, not just the substance use itself.
Care may begin with medical detox when needed, followed by residential treatment that allows you to step away from daily triggers and focus fully on recovery. Treatment is trauma-informed and grounded in the understanding that substance use is often a response to deeper pain.
Therapy includes evidence-based approaches such as EMDR, Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), individual counseling, group therapy, family involvement, and experiential therapies on the ranch, including equine-assisted therapy.
The goal is not just sobriety. It is understanding what has been driving the addiction and building healthier ways to respond.
We provide medical detox and residential treatment for drug and alcohol addiction in a structured, trauma-informed environment. Care is designed to help you stabilize safely and begin the deeper work of recovery.
Many people struggling with addiction are also dealing with anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, or other mental health conditions. These challenges often fuel substance use. We address them directly as part of treatment, not as an afterthought.
Addiction and mental health conditions are treated together under one integrated plan. Therapy, medication management, and experiential approaches work side by side so both issues are addressed at the same time, giving you a stronger foundation for long-term recovery.
Mending Fences is located in Morriston, Florida, a quiet rural community in Central Florida that provides distance from the distractions and triggers often tied to substance use.
The ranch is within driving distance of Gainesville, Ocala, and the greater Orlando area, while still offering the privacy and space that residential treatment requires. For those traveling from farther away, access is convenient through Gainesville Regional Airport, Orlando International Airport, and Tampa International Airport.
Transportation to and from the airport can be arranged, making travel to treatment straightforward for clients coming from across Florida or out of state.
Choosing treatment outside of a major city allows you to focus fully on recovery while remaining accessible to families throughout Central Florida and beyond.
Mending Fences works with most major health insurance plans to help reduce the cost of treatment.
Insurance benefits can vary, and navigating coverage can feel confusing. Our admissions team will verify your benefits, explain what is covered, and walk you through any out-of-pocket costs before you make a decision. If you’re not sure whether your plan covers treatment, call us. We’ll help you figure it out.

This was the best facility I have been too. All of the staff are very understanding and compassionate. My anxiety has improved greatly while being here. The groups are all very helpful and fun. I enjoyed PHP here. The staff go out of their way to help you. Cherry was very understanding and easy to talk to and Nicole was one of the best therapist I have spoken with.
