Remember the story of the ugly duckling who felt like she didn’t belong? Remember the heartache and trouble the duckling faced until she saw her reflection and realized she was not a duckling at all, but was instead a swan? Does someone you know see themselves as the duckling, while you see the gifts and grace of a swan? The Retreat at Christmas Creek at Christmas Creek Village was designed with your family in mind.
Christmas Creek Village is located in the Ozark Mountains, spans over 60 acres, and overlooks the Big Creek tributary to the Buffalo National River. The Great House is complete with jacuzzi, fire place, horses, animals, sports, water activities, and old-time movies. The Retreat at Christmas Creek staff presents a warm, loving environment combining positive behavioral therapy, psychiatric evaluation, confidence-building activities, communication skills, animal therapy, common sense and fun!
The passion of the Retreat at Christmas Creek is to provide a happy, safe, and nurturing environment where your family member can regain value, dignity, respect, confidence, strength and success in the midst of crisis. The program at Christmas Creek Village goes far beyond basic stabilization. It is based on the foundation that with appropriate intervention, choices, treatment, and common sense, Ranch guests can transition back to a happy and productive life.
Remember the dreams and hopes you had–dreams of worth and independence and a life of treasures? Our staff encourages guests to remember dreams and hopes– especially in the midst of crisis, anger, hostility, depression, poor choices, and self-destructive behaviors. We, with you, see the swan. We see possibility. We wish you clarity and courage. And with all of our hearts, we wish you joy.
