Since 2007, The River’s Edge Ranch (RER), a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization located in Lucerne Valley, California, has served men, primarily from Southern California, who seek to recover from substance abuse. Using a proven, multi-phase approach that effectively integrates the use of manual labor, animal-assisted therapy, service to others, faith, and mentoring support, the Ranch has restored and transformed the lives of many who have successfully completed the program.
