Engage in Therapies for Both Mind & Body
The Hills combines clinical safety with deep therapeutic care. Clients detox privately in their rooms with 24/7 nursing, under the supervision of a full-time psychiatrist and with an on-site emergency ward nearby. Therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), exercise, and meditation promote holistic wellbeing, while brainspotting offers targeted healing for trauma, anxiety, and depression—helping clients process difficult emotions by working with both the brain and body.
Experience the Comforts of a 5-Star Resort
The Hills offers clients a secluded mountainside location designed for healing and anonymity. Each client stays in a beautifully appointed villa with a queen bed, rain shower, and modern amenities, offering private space to relax and reflect. World-class facilities—including a meditation pavilion, on-site restaurant, smoothie bar, spa, and fitness centre—nurture both restoration and wellbeing. After the first week, clients may access personal devices for limited daily use, with guidelines set by the clinical team to maintain therapeutic focus.
Maintain Progress After Treatment

Treatment
Specializations
Alcohol
Using alcohol as a coping mechanism, or drinking excessively throughout the week, signals an alcohol use disorder.
Detox
Detox fully and safely removes toxic substances from the body, allowing the next steps in treatment to begin with a clean slate.
Benzodiazepines
Benzodiazepines are prescribed to treat anxiety and sleep issues. They are highly habit forming, and their abuse can cause mood changes and poor judgement.
Cocaine
Cocaine is a stimulant with euphoric effects. Agitation, muscle ticks, psychosis, and heart issues are common symptoms of cocaine abuse.
Drug Addiction
Drug addiction is the excessive and repetitive use of substances, despite harmful consequences to a person's life, health, and relationships.
Opioids
Opioids produce pain-relief and euphoria, which can lead to addiction. This class of drugs includes prescribed medication and the illegal drug heroin.
Trauma
Some traumatic events are so disturbing that they cause long-term mental health problems. Those ongoing issues can also be referred to as "trauma."
Approaches
Evidence-Based
A combination of scientifically rooted therapies and treatments make up evidence-based care, defined by their measured and proven results.
Family Involvement
Providers involve family in the treatment of their loved one through family therapy, visits, or both–because addiction is a family disease.
Individual Treatment
Individual care meets the needs of each patient, using personalized treatment to provide them the most relevant care and greatest chance of success.
Medical
Medical addiction treatment uses approved medications to manage withdrawals and cravings, and to treat contributing mental health conditions.
Non 12 Step
Non-12-Step philosophies veer from the spiritual focus of the 12-Steps and instead treat the disease of addiction with holistic or secular modalities.
Therapies
1-on-1 Counseling
Patient and therapist meet 1-on-1 to work through difficult emotions and behavioral challenges in a personal, private setting.

Elephant Therapy
Interacting with these awe-inspiring animals can help you regulate your emotions and practice communication.
Experiential Therapy
With this approach, patients heal by doing. Therapists help patients process difficult emotions to speak, using guided activities like art or dance.
Eye Movement Therapy (EMDR)
Lateral, guided eye movements help reduce the emotional reactions of retelling and reprocessing trauma, allowing intense feelings to dissipate.
Family Therapy
Family therapy addresses group dynamics within a family system, with a focus on improving communication and interrupting unhealthy relationship patterns.
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy relieves physical and emotional tension, reduces pain, promotes relaxation, and improves emotion regulation.
