Program

Recovery is not simply about abstaining from alcohol and/or drugs. Recovery is about replacing addictive behaviors and patterns with healthy pursuits that will be conducive to long term sobriety and successful living.

At Shadow Mountain Recovery we believe that recovery is a journey of discovery, NOT an “event”. There is no quick cure. More often than not, deeper core issues exist - issues that take time to identify and negotiate. Shadow Mountain Recovery's three-tiered drug and alcohol rehab program has been specifically designed with this in mind. Within the framework of a structured, yet supportive and loving environment, SMR provides ample time for young men to continue in their healing process while developing the necessary tools to learn to live life on life's terms. We focus on i ntegrity, responsibly in all aspects of living...and the importance of willingness and courage as we journey along the road of recovery.
