Why Support Dawn Farm?

For 37 years, 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.. But we’ve recently started offering more. 
 
Our Detox program has expanded at a new site, adding more beds and becoming the more comprehensive Spera Center (Spera is Latin for “hope”). 

 

Here are the ways we helped last year:

  • 1417 desperate addicts and alcoholics entered Detox in 2010—with a completion rate double the national average. But more than 1500 people were forced to wait—because our Detox was full.
  • We treated 240 men and women in our residential programs. Of 2008 residential graduates, roughly 78% are still successful a year later.
  • 273 men and women found new starts in our transitional housing program.
  • 33 teens and many struggling parents found hope in the innovative Daybreak collaborative with Juvenile Court and Washtenaw Children’s Services.
  • Dawn Farm Outpatient Services helped 409 people—in more than 10 groups a week.
  • The highly-lauded Dawn Farm Jail Outreach  and Community Corrections Outpatient programs served 381 men and women.
  • Our Education Series drew record numbers, and more and more people are using the new Community Barn.
