About The Retreat – Wayzata
The Retreat is a peer operated rehab in Wayzata, Minnesota. This is a bit different than a traditional rehab because it’s more mutual and collaborative. They take a peer support approach where you and the others in your program help each other strengthen your sobriety. It’s run by a nonprofit called the Community of Recovering People.
The Retreat is best known for its residential treatment program. It has separate programs for men and women. They also have an evening program for people who are living at home and working during the day but still want dedicated treatment. There’s also a special program for seniors over 55 and a family recovery program, too.
This rehab takes a fundamentally different approach than most rehabs. It aims to get away from the clinical feel of many rehabs and instead focus more on building a community and holistic addiction recovery. The program is based on the spiritual principles of Alcoholics Anonymous, and they can get you started on 12 step programs that you can continue after you go home.
This type of nonclinical rehab could be an ideal fit if you want something that feels less medical and more like a mutually supportive environment. It’s that nontraditional and getaway feeling that clients love and credit with being a life changing and sometimes life saving experience.
This rehab can also be a great option if you’re transitioning out of another rehab program. They have several sober living homes that offer a great environment where you can start rejoining society and rebuilding your life in sobriety while still being in a home that is safe for your recovery.
