With the average stay at Bethel Ridge being 4 - 7 days, and seldom beyond two weeks, we usually work with those issues that could best respond to brief intensive counseling. Long-term, deep-seated problems may require follow-up counseling. Bethel Ridge offers hour-long follow-up sessions in Yakima, Washington. If coming from out-of-town, we also can offer follow-up over the phone or via email. In addition, we can refer these guests to a counselor or pastor near their home for ongoing support and follow-up, if needed.
