Our Treatment Philosophy:

The initial objective in the recovery process is to stabilize, achieve and maintain abstinence long enough to create a solid recovery foundation. Once abstinence is achieved, it becomes imperative for the recovering person to choose to engage in the ongoing process of growth and change. It is this process that supports the development of the self-awareness, self-honesty and self-clarity that lead to healthy positive choices. Continued engagement in this process requires the development of self-responsibility, the ability to keep agreements, and self-accountability for one's choices.

Implementation of a Balanced Transformational Process:

Our clients excel because of the systematic thoroughness of our balanced approach to supporting the recovery process. Most recovering persons have unique challenges and obstacles to overcome before they will fully participate in their process. After stabilization our first focus is the development of a healthy recovery attitude, a healthy recovery routine and healthy recovery practice habits. This process occurs over time and must be reinforced by willingness, desire and consistent effort. We address the healing (change and growth) that needs to occur within...

Self: Physical, Mental, Emotional and Spiritual
Life: Family, Social, Career, and Financial


As a result, our clients heal the past, learn to live in the present, and create a vision of the future.

Personal Choice, The Doorway to Meaningful Change:

Our comprehensive approach allows for uniqueness of the individual process while providing a healthy support structure and therapeutic options that factor in ongoing personal development and allow for personal choice.
Our proactive support philosophy consistently nurtures and reinforces the development of a healthy belief system and self-ownership of the recovery process. Our clients learn to recognize and shift the negative, destructive (addictive) patterns of behaviors, feelings or thoughts, and align with the positive and constructive patterns that support a healthy recovery and connection to life. This is accomplished through a systematic focus of daily education, meditation, action, accountability and support.
Some of the areas where clients will realize healthy changes will be:

  • Identifying and deepening personal commitment to the recovery process
  • Learning to live in solution
  • Developing the Self-responsibility and Self-accountability required to make healthy, positive choices
  • Accessing the Self-honesty and Self-clarity that support Personal Truth
  • Improvement in personal relationships
  • Experiencing the freedom that comes from letting go of disempowering beliefs
  • Igniting the fire of motivation, focus, direction that supports passionate, purposeful living
  • Identifying Purpose in your daily life
