The most caring, empathetic, brilliant, hardworking group of people I ever expect to meet in one place. I enjoyed having conversations with everyone, from the doctors, to the therapists, to the nurses and mental health workers. You all have saved my life and continue to greatly improve it. No amount of gratitude is too much.

We specialize in treating people who struggle with both addiction and mental health, people with personality disorders, individuals with OCD, and those who have not found effective treatment for depression or bipolar disorder.

Our team works with young adults, professionals at a crossroads, and adults facing life-changing events.

Recovery and Rehabilitation at The Retreat

Mental health disorders are complex and require a personalized approach to care. Most of our residents at The Retreat experience more than one disorder (co-occurring disorders), which may lead to addictions. At The Retreat, we have the resources and expertise to provide the highest level of care for people with co-occurring disorders.

We provide evidence-based mind and body therapy in the most individualized, compassionate, and comprehensive way possible. Our residents have frequent access to experienced psychiatrists and other mental health professionals. You or your loved one will have every opportunity to heal and lead a happier, more productive life.

Our Core Services

All residents at The Retreat receive the following core services:

  • Simultaneous comprehensive diagnostic and intensive individual therapy: we begin providing treatment from the beginning of your stay, maximizing the time you spend working towards recovery
  • Diagnosis and consultation: In addition to a comprehensive mental health evaluation, all residents receive a diagnosis and psychiatric consultation during their stay
