Our program is led by a highly qualified team of interdisciplinary mental health professionals. Tailoring therapy to meet the needs of a wide selection of individuals struggling with mental health and addictive disorders, we are proud to have become the most comprehensive Jewish program to date.
More than a kosher facility, we offer an environment enabling the client to explore and discover their personal connection with spirituality and Judaism.
Our program is designed to be affordable, with relatively low tuition, culminating in effective treatment and desired results.
