We Provide Comprehensive, Individualized Programming to Support Your Recovery
Recognizing the Need for Professional Treatment​
Recognizing the reality that addiction has made it’s way into your life is difficult for anybody to come to terms with. Many of our clients spend months or years rationalizing why they’ve avoided professional help. Addiction is something that happens to other people, not to ourselves.
The truth about addiction is that it’s a complex mental health disorder that affects millions. Motivated by our own experiences, our care team firmly believes that anyone is capable of recovery when given the right support and tools.
Believe it or not, we understand the pain, frustration, and fear that come with addiction. We see your strength, even when you can’t. We’re here to support you or your loved one every step of the way, offering not just treatment, but a path to a new life filled with possibility and joy.
“Every moment, every breath, is a new opportunity. An opportunity to let go of the past and to become the person you choose to be.”

What Are the Pillars of Our Treatment Program?
Developing Awareness
Presence in the Moment
We believe that many people spend the majority of their lives filled with distractions and stressors that interfere with our ability to engage with the present moment. Therefore, we’ve imbued our programming with various activities, training, and skills development that allows our clients to discover the awesome power of consciousness and clear awareness.
Living & Acting with Intention
Choosing How You Live
Addiction and mental health disorders both have a tendency to diminish an individual’s sense of purpose and intention by hijacking the mind and forcing a primitive, egocentric mode of living. Our staff and curriculum have created protocols to assist clients in cultivating the most noble of virtues with purpose and goodwill.
Acceptance of the Present Moment
Non-Judgement & Self-Compassion​
One of the most important elements of any mindfulness practice is the complete acceptance of reality as it exists in the present moment. This non-judgmental way of relating to our thoughts and emotions, as well as those of others, is key to recovery. Acceptance leads to understanding, self-compassion, and a sense of common humanity that directly cuts off the roots of unhealthy patterns of thinking and being.
Integration with the 12-Step Approach
Rediscover a Spiritual Framework
The 12 Steps – created in 1938 and written by Bill Watson, a co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous – acts as the capstone of our treatment program. Regardless of our client’s experience with the 12 steps in the past, we invite them to enter our program with an open mind and rediscover what it means to work the steps. The time-honored, road-tested spiritual framework of the 12 Steps provides a structured path to recovery that has proven effective for millions worldwide.
By integrating mindfulness practices with the 12 Steps, we enhance this powerful framework, offering our clients practical tools to navigate day-to-day challenges and maintain long-term sobriety.
