The foundation of the program is in the 12 Steps, work ethic, and horses. Many residents spend their first three months (the program lasts for at least 12 months) at the Hassaymapa River Ranch, located twenty miles outside of Wickenburg, AZ The facility, which is an active cattle ranch is meant to emphasize the first three steps. Residents maintain the landscape, feed the horses and cows, paint, do construction, and clean all of the property. Residents learn life skills, attend therapy, take on-line classes, engage in daily physical labor, and recover from the effects of alcoholism and drug abuse through focused 12 Step Recovery. After three months, residents transition to the main property in Wickenburg, AZ. They live in residential houses, cook their own meals every night, clean, do work ethic, ride horses, and shop for themselves. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gatehouse Academy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
