Spruce Mountain Inn is a Residential & Transitional Living Program for Young Adults. We are located in the heart of Central Vermont. Spruce Mountain Inn has been providing compassionate, client-driven residential treatment to young adults experiencing difficulty managing life since 1982. Our comprehensive and experiential approach integrates intensive mental health treatment with a Career & Education Development Program and independent living skill development to support residents toward renewed health, greater confidence, and a meaningful future. As one of the oldest and most well-respected treatment programs in the United States, Spruce has helped hundreds of young men and women find relief and renewal while embarking on a path of self-discovery that leaves them with a stronger sense of self and clear vision for the future. Our program is specifically modeled to serve young adults with mental health issues impacting mood, difficulty with managing daily affairs and independent living, and difficulty achieving career and educational goals. Our belief is that an interdisciplinary team approach can best serve our residents’ complex needs and create the best environment for success. Unlike many other residential treatment programs, Spruce Mountain does not treat mental health issues in a vacuum. Instead, we address mental health needs in concert with opportunities for social and community engagement, independent living skill development, and career and educational planning and supports. Our community integration gives residents a meaningful chance to practice living well and managing “regular” life at the same time. As residents stabilize and build skills, they progress through our “step down” housing continuum with increased opportunities for independence that mirror real -world independent living. We value and appreciate our staff because, without them and their commitment to our clients, we wouldn't be what we are today.
