Our Mission

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.

Philosophy

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.
