My thirty-day residence program at The Retreat was an amazing "retreat" from a life of feeling hopeless and into a life full of hope. With support, provided the roadmap and formula to successfully live in recovery from the disease of addiction.

This approach is for people who want it. Not need it. You will become much more well versed in the steps that have us all grounded in the fundamentals that you need for a strong foundation. I was very un deliberate in my description for a reason. If you choose to get after it, it's not going to be because a review. Do your research. You'll see.

My loved one attended The Retreat. He just came home a few days ago. I also attended the family program they have. I can't say enough about this place. From the food, to the meetings, to the staff, to the housing, to the programs. It's all amazing. My loved one actually LOVED it here. He said god forbid he has to check into treatment again, he would come back here in a heartbeat. The family program was incredible (Take advantage of that if you have a loved one here!!!) I will be forever grateful for the things I learned at The Retreat. I really can't say enough about this place. If you're wondering if this is the right fit... 1000 times yes. What you get for the cost is truly amazing.

The staff are all in recovery, the environment makes you feel comfortable and at home, walking trails, buddy system for newcomers, single rooms for privacy, separation of men's and women's facilities, open door police-everyone is there because the want to be there, homemade meals, exercise programs, recreation time, fosters individuality and independence, all assignments were meaningful and valuable, beautiful meditation center, flexible visitation, the family program is excellent. I made lifelong friends and will forever be grateful for all The Retreat did for me and what they encouraged me to do for myself. I am a better person for having been there. Great facility, excellent staff, awesome program, spiritual not religious.

They have a self-directed AA model , the staff is knowledgable and all in recovery, it has a lovely setting and amazing food. The weaknesses of the facility were that there was not a staff mell, it wasn't appropriate for dual diagnosis and it was medically unstable. I have been sober 3 years since treatment and it is due entirely to The Retreat and its emphasis on local sober living afterwards. The commuity oriented nature of the program prepared me well for the rooms of AA.

We love hearing about your treatment experience
