At Beit T’Shuvah, we offer a holistic treatment approach. Rather than just treating the addiction, we treat the whole person, combining psychotherapy, 12-step recovery, and Jewish spirituality to help guide the recovery process.

Days include individual and group therapy, addiction counseling, creative, spiritual, and wellness programming, 12-step meetings, as well as community meals and activities. Clients live and grow together as a therapeutic community.

The Beit T’Shuvah Program is individualized.
 
Primary residential care typically lasts from 90-120 days. Some residents require more time, and some less. Primary care is focused on stabilization, establishing safety, learning skills, building community, and addressing both external and internal problems. 
 
Following primary care Beit T’Shuvah offers extended care housing, intensive outpatient and recovery bridge housing. The focus during this stage is integration into work, education, with family and other important systems and recovery maintenance. 
Yes, addiction often impacts the entire family system. Central to the Beit T’Shuvah model is our robust family therapy program. We offer individual family therapy, support groups, and 3-day family immersions.

Our temple offers weekly Shabbat services and holiday observances that give clients meaning beyond the clinical work. The parallels between recovery and the Torah give great insight to those suffering beyond the substance. Addiction is a dis-ease of the soul, and our temple and spiritual counselors help mend that wound.
