Benton Town is one of the largest Birch Tree branches serving approximately 65 members. The branch includes group homes with 24×7 residential care, small transitional group homes with two to four members living together, and apartments in the community.
Each branch of Birch Tree Communities provides adult rehabilitation day services Monday through Friday and supportive services as needed on weekends. Members receive group and individual therapy, medication management, illness management, transportation services, and educational opportunities, in addition to residential housing. Members will be able to go on a variety of outings during the week and on weekends.
Birch Tree Communities staff at each branch include therapists, life skills coaches, program directors, nurses, and dietary aides. The staff works with members on reaching goals through a person centered team approach. We strive to provide an atmosphere that promotes recovery and allows each member to reach their individual goals.
Our branches provide numerous opportunities to help our members integrate into the community, including assisting them in job searches, applying for support services such as housing assistance or SNAP benefits, and other services for which they are eligible. Our staff also assists members further their education by helping to access resources to work on GED testing or higher education courses.
