About Carl E Dahl House at Evergreen Grove
The Carl E. Dahl House at Evergreen Grove is a therapeutic farm community in Gardner, Massachusetts, for adults living with co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders. Operated by GAAMHA, they run their program as a recovery home set in a new farmhouse surrounded by barns, fields, and forest, offering an alternative to clinical or corporate rehab settings. The program is named for Carl E. Dahl, a former engineer and dairy farmer who got sober through GAAMHA’s Pathway House and later worked as a counselor and business manager for the agency.
Daily life at Dahl House centers on hands-on farm work, with residents caring for livestock and tending crops alongside clinical support and recovery education aimed at lasting sobriety. Admission starts with a phone screening that includes both the applicant and their referring clinician, which helps determine whether the farm setting is a good fit. Through a separate program called R.O.O.T.S., they also offer free outpatient services for young people ages 12 to 24 who are struggling with substance misuse, mental health concerns, or both.
