Men’s Retreat & Rehab

Studies show men experience higher rates of depression, anxiety, anger and shame, which can lead to addiction. Pressure to be “tough” often causes a reluctance to seek treatment. And with a tendency toward fewer close ties, men often lack strong support systems. Our men’s-only rehab focuses on such challenges.

Co-ed retreats offer distractions that can undermine healing and recovery. Our program deals with men’s issues head on — in a comfortable, supportive environment — helping clients uncover and transform their limiting beliefs. While comfortably upscale, our shared living space fosters communication, camaraderie and a sense of brotherhood, aiding transformation and ultimately leading to a more fulfilling life.

Residential Treatment

Residential addiction treatment — living at a facility while receiving intensive therapy and support — is recommended for people struggling with addiction.

Our safe and structured environment removes individuals from people, places, and situations that can act as triggers, allowing them to focus solely on their recovery without external distractions.

90-Day Program

Research consistently shows that longer durations of addiction treatment are associated with lower rates of relapse, improved employment, and better overall functioning.

While there is no single magic number, 90 days has emerged as a sort of “gold standard” in the field of addiction treatment. Studies have indicated that significant improvements often occur around this point.

Aftercare Plan

Aftercare is crucial for maintaining sobriety after completing residential addiction treatment for ongoing support and guidance as you transition back to daily lives.

  • Regular group therapy via Zoom
  • Alumni events
  • Check-ins

We work to ensure you have the ongoing support necessary to maintain your sobriety and continue growing in your recovery journey.
