Our addiction recovery programs are designed to help you slow down, focus inward, and find balance.

You might spend your afternoons hiking shaded trails that wind through the hills, journaling on a sunlit porch, or simply listening to the sounds of nature, a bird’s call, a rustling leaf, the soft hum of the wind.
