The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.
We are committed to transforming lives and reigniting hope for individuals ready to reset and rebuild their futures. Our programs are tailored for professionals, executives, entrepreneurs, artists, athletes, and young people interested in launching their lives and careers.
Our program is thoughtfully designed for C-suite executives and professionals, providing the tools, space, and guidance to realign careers and reconnect with deeper purpose. We understand the immense stress and complexity that accompany high-pressure careers, often leaving little room for personal well-being and meaningful relationships.
We bridge the gap between professional demands and personal fulfillment, helping men and women regain work-life balance without sacrificing productivity. With fully equipped offices, conference rooms, high-speed internet, and printers, we offer the resources needed to stay professionally on track while prioritizing recovery—all with the utmost discretion.
Recognizing that meaningful family connections are essential to long-term recovery, our program pairs residents and their loved ones with a family coach to strengthen relationships and build deeper, transformed connections.
For those balancing work and recovery, we offer a specialized professional track tailored to integrate recovery goals with work-related responsibilities. This unique approach ensures clients can actively focus on personal growth and well-being while maintaining their careers. No matter how successful your career has been, we are here to guide you toward a life of fulfillment and balance, helping you thrive both personally and professionally.
We welcome entrepreneurs at all stages—those running successful businesses, others facing challenges or setbacks, and those with dreams, like an app, fashion line, or business, that have been delayed by addiction or trauma. We understand the spark of creativity never truly fades, and our program helps reignite that passion.
With guidance from seasoned entrepreneurs, credentialed teachers, industry experts and mentors, we help you turn your “passion project” into reality. In our START UP community, your ideas are celebrated, your growth is supported, and you’re encouraged to channel the same energy and drive into your purpose as you once did into addiction.
We understand that creatives and artists are often misunderstood, and we are dedicated to supporting their recovery, mental health and their craft. For many, sobriety and wellbeing is more than staying clean—it’s about rediscovering inspiration and achieving balance in a world filled with triggers and temptations. Returning to creative work can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone.
Our program provides access to dedicated creative spaces, including an art studio, a sober music studio, and writing classes, where clients can reconnect with their passions. Each client is paired with a mentor who guides them on their journey of recovery and creative renewal.
We understand how challenging it can be to lose your identity as an athlete, teammate, or hero, leaving you asking, “Now what?”. Addiction may have taken hold at the peak of your career, after an injury, when the D-1 scholarship didn’t come through, or when the pros never called.
We offer a comprehensive program to help you reclaim your life’s meaning. With access to a recovery playbook, a sober mentor, a recovery teammate, and personalized fitness and nutrition plans, you’ll channel your competitive nature and discipline into building a new future. Whether it’s returning to your sport, finding a new passion, or launching a new career, we help you leverage your strengths and good name to create meaning and success in the next inning of your life.
During the depths of addiction or mental health struggles, life can feel like it's spiraling out of control.
