Wellness philosophies focus on the physical, mental, and spiritual wellness of each patient, helping them restore purpose with natural remedies.

Providers involve family in the treatment of their loved one through family therapy, visits, or both–because addiction is a family disease.

Teaching life skills like cooking, cleaning, clear communication, and even basic math provides a strong foundation for continued recovery.
