In today’s tough economy, affordable rehab centers are needed more than ever.

Just outside Minneapolis in the quiet suburb of Wayzata, The Retreat offers affordable recovery services that are grounded in the spiritual principles of the Twelve Steps.  The Retreat’s innovative approach uses a network of over 300 volunteers to carry the recovery message to their guests. 

Unlike the medical model used in many affordable rehab centers, The Retreat’s use of volunteers is the primary means of teaching the principles of recovery.  Not only does this help to keep costs down, but it exposes Retreat guests to a larger pool of wisdom than might typically be found in many affordable rehab centers. 

“These volunteers serve as powerful examples of what a life in recovery can be like.” Says John Leonard, Director of Marketing at The Retreat.   “They carry a message based on their own experience and they do it with passion and enthusiasm because they are doing it for fun and for free.  It is less about telling people what to do than about showing people how recovery has worked in their own lives” said Leonard. 

At just $4,175 for a 30-day stay, The Retreat is an incredible value when compared with other affordable rehab centers that often charge much more for their services.  They also have long term sober living for $475 per month.  If you are interested in affordable recovery services, The Retreat is an attractive organization and may be able to help.  The admissions office is staffed 24 hours a day.  The entire staff is in recovery so they understand where you are coming from because they have been there themselves.  They can be reached toll free at 866-928-3434.
