How It Works
Addiction isn't a character flaw, and you're not weak. The same relentless drive that made it impossible to stop becomes your greatest advantage once it's pointed in the right direction. We don't pile on restrictions. We teach you to harness it and get more out of life.
Structured fitness, adventure work, ice baths and sauna are the treatment itself, with clinical reasoning behind every session. Training restores the brain chemistry addiction ran down, and it scales to wherever you're starting, even if that's zero.
Daily addiction education and more one-on-one clinical time than the outpatient norm teach you what's actually happening in your brain, so cravings, anxiety and relapse patterns stop being mysteries and become problems you know how to solve.
You do all of it inside a small team that trains, eats, and does the hard work together. Isolation is what drives relapse, so connection isn't left to chance here. It's built into the treatment day, and it's why graduates stay in each other's lives.
We built the program around what your life looks like after you leave, and we measure it:
Based on self-reported surveys of Tree House Recovery graduates. Every recovery is different and individual results vary.
You don't have to have it all figured out
We pride ourselves on helping people make real, positive change. Don't let the active, physical side scare you off. We don't expect anyone to feel great about their physical health when they start. Come as you are, and we'll build from there, together.

Inside the Program
Our Program
Abstinence is just the jumping-off point. To make change last, you have to build a life you're excited to lead, so each person's program draws from eight integrated, evidence-based modalities that rebuild the whole person.
Private, focused sessions with licensed clinicians, built around your history, your goals, and your pace.
Daily, structured training that rebuilds the brain chemistry addiction wears down and restores real discipline. It scales to any starting point, even if you haven’t trained in years.
Ocean, outdoor, and action-based experiential work tied to brain science and team dynamic. A differentiator no traditional center can match.
Learn exactly what addiction does to your brain and body, so cravings, triggers, and relapse patterns stop being mysteries and start being problems you can solve.
Honest, guided conversation inside a small circle of peers who get it, where you practice being open and accountable instead of going it alone.
Process trauma and rewrite the story you tell yourself, turning painful history into a foundation for change.
Practical tools to calm the nervous system, sit with discomfort, and quiet the cravings and anxiety that used to send you back to using.
You practice new skills in real situations before you leave, so recovery holds up in everyday life, not just inside the treatment room.
In Their Own Words
Founder Justin McMillen explains the approach, then see our three principles, Connected, Healthy & Self-Aware, in the people who've lived them.
