Where Psychotherapy Meets the 12-Steps

One of the few programs of its kind in the nation, the Retreat uses an integrative treatment model combining abstinence-based addiction counseling and recovery-oriented psychotherapy. Many chemically dependent adults are often reluctant to enter standard, pre-formulated programs because they fear these programs will not be flexible enough to accommodate their needs. The Retreat offers a range of treatment options, because we believe the key to success is finding which combination works best for each individual.

Our fundamental clinical approach at the Retreat is patient-centered and motivational, rather than confrontational. We recognize alcoholism and drug abuse as addictive diseases and seek to engage patients in a partnership to address their addictions through a combination of therapy, development of coping skills and recognition of their unique strengths.
