In horse country, a new facility helps people get stronger
Andy Fillmore
MORRISTON The term mending fences now has a new meaning in Horse Country.
Transformations at Mending Fences, a mental health and substance abuse facility with 24 residential and 10 partial hospitalization program (PHP) beds, opened here in west Marion County earlier this month.
The facility is set on 400 acres that once was home to an equine health center. Transformations is surrounded by horse farms.
Chris Hanaka, director of operations, said the beds filled quickly. The facility also has plans to provide outpatient treatment.
Transformations at Mending Fences is a sister facility to Transformations Treatment Center, which opened in 2007 in Delray Beach.
