Treatment for addiction at The Recovery Place uses a specialized and successful approach: working with each client to uncover unresolved clinical issues which cause the addiction. âIn effect,â states John, CEO of The Recovery Place, âthese unresolved issues cause people to kill themselves through drugs and alcohol.â John understands clients who come to The Recovery Place from a deeply personal place: heâs been clean and sober for 10 years. John is firm in his belief that The Recovery Place substance abuse program isnât about drugs and alcohol. âThe drugs and alcohol addictions are the symptoms of disease, everybody's disease is different.â Keeping the client at the center of care is what makes The Recovery Place treatment for addiction one of the best in the nation.
