Is to provide a Professional & Honest Approach to Recovery
The mission of Lotus Recovery Treatment Center is to provide unique, high-quality mental health, drug, and alcohol treatment services at the outpatient level of care. We use connection, not control, to help our clients to achieve autonomy, empowerment, and a sense of community. We believe that a relational treatment method is crucial in any client’s path towards recovery.
Our philosophy is based on providing non-judgmental, loving support for our clients. The close-knit community based approach that we use aims to empower our clients, provide the tools necessary to be successful in recovery, and provide them with a sense of comfort and belonging.
We believe that trust, meaningful connections, kindness and structure, in a drug and alcohol free environment, are the essentials to beginning the recovery journey. We are dedicated to providing an honest, authentic, genuine treatment environment that gives our clients a unique opportunity for healing and recovery.
Lotus Recovery Treatment Center’s dedicated professionals are committed to providing exceptional outpatient mental health, drug and alcohol treatment services. Our team fosters connection and empowerment, helping clients achieve autonomy and a sense of community. Join us on the path to recovery and meet our compassionate, skilled staff.
