What recovery looks like here
A structured environment, free of distractions.
01
Residential setting
You stay on-campus for the duration of your program. Three villas serve different roles: patient housing, medical/clinical, and administrative — designed for calm, dignity, and routine.
02
Mental health focus
On-staff psychologist plus nursing care. Programming addresses anxiety, depression, PTSD, substance use, and burnout — without isolating you from the world.
03
Recreational integration
Movement, fresh air, and the mountain landscape are part of the program — not extras. Recovery research consistently shows physical environment shapes outcomes.
Where you'll stay
Bonao, in the mountains of central Dominican Republic.
Two hours from Santo Domingo, an hour from Santiago. The campus sits in the cool central highlands — away from city pressure, easy for family to visit. Twin Starlink internet means staying connected with loved ones (when you choose to be).
Part of a healthcare network
Coordinated with iWellness Veterans Center.
Many Fort Bello residents come through referral from iWellness Veterans Center in Santiago — our outpatient sister facility. We share clinical records (with your consent), so your care is continuous, not fragmented.
