Recovery begins today.

At Ashley, we believe that treating you with dignity and respect are the hallmarks of lifesaving treatment and sustainable recovery. We invite you to begin to rebuild your self-respect and dignity here on our campus. In order to focus on healing, we ask you to consider the ways in which you carry and care for yourself. Listed below are general DOs and DON’Ts of packing for your treatment experience at Ashley. Our Intake Coordinators can answer any additional questions you may have. We recommend that you bring up to $100 in cash to purchase items in our campus store. Our campus store offers toiletries, clothing, literature and more.

Care Package and other drop offs at the guard shack are only permitted between 7:00 am – 7:00 pm, Monday-Friday and 7:00 am – 5:00 pm Saturday and Sunday to ensure that the drop offs go directly to a staff member.
