Alcohol treatment doesn’t have to be expensive

In these challenging financial times, people are searching for value in everything they do.  Like health care in general, alcohol treatment costs have skyrocketed over the last many years.  A small non-profit has developed an innovative model to help alcoholics and drug addicts recover.  The Retreat’s affordable recovery services are grounded in the spiritual principles of the Twelve Steps. 

With its supportive and educational approach, The Retreat’s spiritual program operates completely outside of the health care system.   By using a community of over 300 volunteers to help carry the recovery message, The Retreat not only keeps costs down but surrounds people with powerful examples of what a life in recovery can be like.   The model exposes guests to a larger pool of wisdom than might typically be found in a staff based setting. 

“We have clinicians on staff but the volunteers are the primary teachers in this model” said John Leonard, Director of Marketing at The Retreat.  “It’s less about telling someone what to do than it is about showing them how recovery has worked in your own life.  This approach is often times more effective for people who don’t want to be told how to live their lives” said Leonard.

At just $4,175 for a 30-day stay, The Retreat is an incredible value.   They also have affordable long term sober living in the vibrant recovering community of St Paul.  If you are interested in recovery from alcoholism or drug addiction, The Retreat may be able to help.  The admissions office is staffed 24/7.  The entire staff is in recovery and knows where you are coming from.  They can be reached toll free at 866-928-3434.
