The Sanctuary at Impact Life Farm is located in Seaford, Delaware, and is an agriculturally based program with permanent recovery housing, workforce development (agriculturally-based entrepreneurship as well as entrepreneurship in other fields), case management, spiritual support, therapeutic arts, and other forms of recovery support. It is a safe place for women to come post-inpatient treatment or post-incarceration/supervision. The Sanctuary is a place where those in a vulnerable post-treatment state can solidify their recovery, learn new life skills and get the help they need to re-enter life confidently, with a plan, a community, and life skills to assist them. At the Sanctuary, our aim is to help participants move forward to full recovery, a life of sobriety, a feeling of community, and self-reliance.
Impact Life currently offers peer-led recovery support services in Delaware and Cecil and Harford County, Maryland. In addition, we operate recovery residences independently as well as in partnership with atTAcK addiction for those re-entering society post-residential treatment. We offer Harm Reduction Services, a Workforce Development program featuring comprehensive recovery services, career development, expungement and pardon programs, and peer support. Our Workforce development initiatives include job fairs and COVID-19 vaccination campaigns Statewide. In November of 2022 we launched Delaware’s first Recovery Farm, The Sanctuary at Impact Life Farm, which will offer housing, case management, peer support, and animal-assisted therapy, coupled with a therapeutic agricultural workforce development program.
