Customizable service packages for effectiveness and affordability
Available to residents who meet their goals in the Elliot Program

Our newly developed Banks Transitional Living Program (TLP) is designed for those needing longer-term, transitional programming with customizable services. Residents maintain their connection to the Ranch community and trusted clinical team, while also building competency in real-world routines—work, education, and personal management.
Housing and Facilities
Banks TLP is a “mini-neighborhood” on Spring Lake Ranch grounds. Private apartments and suites are available across three thoughtfully designed, light-filled buildings. Apartments have their own kitchens and bathrooms. Suites have private bathrooms and a large, shared kitchen. Each living space has its own balcony with beautiful views of the neighboring pastures and forests.
The open-concept Banks Community Center includes staff offices, a large gathering space, a kitchen for special events, and a cozy lounge area where residents can visit with family and friends.

*Appropriateness for the Banks Transitional Living Program will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Completion of the Ranch Program does not automatically indicate eligibility for transitional programs at Spring Lake Ranch. As these programs have a lower level of direct-staff oversight, factors that may determine eligibility include but are not limited to a resident’s safety history and substance use history. If it is determined that our transitional programs are not appropriate, Ranch staff will assist in pursuing alternative options.
