About House of Life
House of Life is a boutique-style treatment center that helps people recover from substance use and co-occurring mental health struggles in a deeply supportive environment. They offer residential treatment and detox services with a small client-to-staff ratio. Every part of the experience—from therapy to daily structure to the pace of healing—is tailored to each individual.
Understand the Why behind the Addiction
At The House of Life, treatment extends far beyond stopping substance use—it’s about understanding why it started in the first place. Their approach is rooted in the belief that addiction is a response to pain, often tied to unhealed trauma and underlying mental health challenges. Every person receives deeply personalized care that gets to the heart of their story. With a small client-to-staff ratio, each person is given the time and space to really explore what’s driving their substance use.
Enjoy the Little Things that Make a Big Difference
The House of Life feels more like a luxury retreat than a treatment center—in the best way. Their meals are chef-prepared and genuinely delicious, shared around a big table that feels like home. Outside, there’s plenty to enjoy: a sparkling pool, walking paths, and a private golf course. Inside, clients find spaces for movement and community. They’re also pet friendly, so if clients have a dog or cat that helps them feel grounded, they’re welcome here too.
Keep the Momentum Going Strong after Treatment
Aftercare is built into the process from the very beginning. Once clients finish the program, they step into the next phase with a plan, a team, and community behind them. Whether they’re connected to a trusted sober living home, transitioning into outpatient care, or finding the right local support groups, each person gets help building something sustainable for themselves.

Move through Each Day with Balance
Mornings at the House of Life start quietly with meditation, intention-setting, and a nourishing breakfast. From there, the focus turns inward and outward with movement to reconnect with the body, group sessions to process emotions, and educational groups that offer tools for navigating life in recovery. But it’s not all intense—there are breaks built in to breathe and reset. In the afternoons and evenings, 12-Step and community meetings bring people together in honest ways.
Bring Loved Ones into the Healing Process
At House of Life, family isn’t left in the dark—they’re part of the process. Through weekly psychoeducation groups and one-on-one check-ins, loved ones get real insight into what addiction actually is, what recovery looks like, and how they can show up in a way that helps instead of harms.
Feel the Difference of Focused Care
Treatment is intimately tailored to who clients are, what they’ve been through, and what they need. With only six clients at a time, they’re able to go far beyond a set schedule or standard programming. Every single day is crafted around each client’s goals—whether that means more one-on-one therapy, time in nature, or support through difficult emotions. Their care adjusts with the client, and not the other way around.
Soak up the Sun and Stillness
Every detail of the facility at House of Life feels more like a wellness retreat than a treatment center. From the spacious, sun-filled bedrooms to the lush, peaceful grounds, clients can easily unwind. Outside, clients can spend time by the pool, walk the garden paths, or just sit in the backyard and relax. There’s even a private golf course for clients who want a place to move and have a little fun. The outdoor grilling space is ideal for casual dinners and conversation, especially as the sun sets.
