Carl E. Dahl House

The Carl E. Dahl House is a recovery home and therapeutic farming community for people working through co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders. Residents tend livestock, care for crops and spend time in the barns, fields and forests while receiving clinical support and recovery education. The program is named for Carl E. Dahl, a former GAAMHA client who later became a counselor and business manager for the agency.

Admission begins with a referral, and applicants or referring clinicians call the office at 978-830-FARM for a telephone screening. The program is part of GAAMHA Inc. A youth outpatient service called R.O.O.T.S. serves young people ages 12 to 24 at no cost. The house is at 827 Green St. in Gardner.
