Joseph Institute

At St. Joseph Institute, we are passionate about helping you or your loved one find lasting recovery. We provide solutions that promote recovery for both substance use and mental health disorders. Each person is unique, and we believe that a "one size fits all" approach fails to meet the needs of many people. Our holistic programs recognize the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual issues that drive addiction and mental health issues.

Healing the Whole Person

Overcoming addiction and mental health issues is about reclaiming your life and making it better. Our alcohol & drug abuse rehab program provides the opportunity to achieve a level of wellness that few people experience. We will be concerned about your physical and mental health, offering program options for those with chronic pain, PTSD, or trauma. We help you learn ways to better manage your life, while addressing co-occurring conditions such as anxiety, depression, or abuse. As a non-denominational faith-based rehab center, we will support your spiritual development without imposing specific beliefs, to help you rediscover a sense of purpose.

Preparing for the Future

A critical aspect of the recovery process is preparing for the next step - rooted in resilience, filled with purpose, and guided by the lessons learned from past challenges. Together, we will develop a plan for the future, coordinating the support necessary to help you stay clean and sober. In the months and years ahead, we will be here to help and offer advice, support, and encouragement as you journey forward.

Our Campus Promotes Healing
