We have received a lot of interest in this training with certain questions on a few key items that we wanted to make everyone aware of:
1. This training is being hosted by Top of the World Ranch. It is being put on by ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy).
2. Accelerated Resolution Therapy is similar to EMDR with its use of eye movements, but different in that: "It is key to note that, although ART is very directive, the clinician does not have to hear any detail. Because ART is procedural, it can even be successful without the clinician hearing any facts, thus helping therapists with compassion fatigue. The focus of ART is to eliminate negative images and sensations to lead the client quickly to resolution. While EMDR is focused on cognitions and free associates during its eight-phase process, ART works to move clients to resolution, whenever possible, in a session."
4. I have updated the contact information for the trainer who will be conducting the training if you have any further questions!

This is just around the corner! 21 CEUs available for this for both social workers and counselors. This is an amazing training that can take less time than EMDR.

Welcome, Marcey Millage, ARNP, to the Top of the World Ranch team! She will be assuming the on-site Medical Director role at the Ranch. We are incredibly excited for her to serve our clients. Here is a bit more about Marcey:
"I was born and raised in the Quad Cities. I earned an Associate of Science in nursing degree from Black Hawk College, a Bachelor of Science in biology degree from St Ambrose University, and a Master of Science in Nursing degree from University of St Francis. I began my career in mental health working as a registered nurse in the Robert Young Center inpatient units. There I provided care for adults and adolescents experiencing mental health crises. I also spent time working on the detox and Level III unit, Riverside, where I provided care for those struggling with addiction. Later, I worked as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner at Ricaurte and Associates, an outpatient mental health clinic in Rock Island, where I strived to improve my client's quality of life through medication management. My goal at Top of the World Ranch is to provide thorough assessments and prescribe appropriate medications to ensure our clients experience the best outcome from their stay."

Healing doesn’t always come in silence—it sometimes comes in storms. At Top of the World Ranch, our clients are surrounded by nature that reflects the recovery journey: intense, transformative, and unexpectedly beautiful. Moments like this—on the lake, under dramatic skies—offer space to breathe, reflect, and rebuild. Nature doesn’t rush, and neither do we.
Real change starts where peace begins—inside and out.

Estes volunteered at Top of the World Ranch on a project that provides a safe path from the lodge down a set of stairs instead of a steep hill to reach the gazebo and the lake.

A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Incredible Volunteers
We want to extend a huge shoutout to the amazing teams from Estes Construction and United Way Quad Cities who recently donated their time, talent, and energy to build a beautiful new stairway and pathway leading to our lakeside gazebo at Top of the World Ranch.
As a substance abuse treatment center, we understand how vital access to nature and quiet reflection is in the recovery journey. This thoughtful addition offers our clients a safe, peaceful space to reconnect with themselves, reflect, and heal.
Your generosity has created more than just a pathway—it’s a lasting symbol of hope, compassion, and community unity.
Thank you for making a difference that will echo for years to come.

Our alumna, Bridgett, had the priviledge of conducting the opening ceremony speech at The Jimbogey Open. We couldn't be more proud of Bridgett and how well she's doing in recovery. Congratulations, Bridgett!

💥 “HOPE DROP” CHALLENGE: 24 HOURS TO TURN $80K INTO INFINITE SECOND CHANCES 💥
👇 Here’s the good news 👇
On June 17, Moline committed $80,000 of national-opioid-settlement money to a new “Path Forward” fund that gives people in recovery up to $5,000 each for rent, food, child care, job-training and more—and Top of the World Ranch is one of only three programs whose clients qualify!
That means that addicts don't have to move backward to move forward. Additionally, more barriers are removed for individuals to go to treatment. Let’s make sure everyone hears about it.

ADD one short line of encouragement (💬 “You’ve got this!” or “Recovery rocks!”).

A share today could literally keep a parent and child under the same roof tomorrow.
THIS IS ONLY FOR MOLINE RESIDENTS.

Most places charge a much higher price for the privilege of a private room with ensuite. Other centers will go on to tell you that having 2, 3 or 4 to a room will reduce your tendency to isolate.
