About Avalon Wellness and Recovery

Avalon Wellness and Recovery helps individuals and couples with substance use disorders and co‑occurring mental health conditions transform their lives and strengthen their relationships. They offer medically supervised detox, residential treatment, and outpatient support, including day treatment (PHP) and intensive outpatient programs (IOP), all designed to support healing and growth as clients begin their recovery journeys.
Their approach blends therapies that support mind and body healing. Clients receive individual, group, and family therapy, medication‑assisted treatment (MAT), and skill‑building workshops. They add holistic options like yoga, meditation, art therapy, sauna, and cold plunge. These support nervous‑system regulation and emotional balance while building coping skills and resilience.
Residents stay in private or shared living spaces with en-suite bathrooms. Chef‑prepared meals provide nourishment while indoor amenities include therapy rooms, a fitness area, a media lounge, and spa‑like wellness features, contributing to whole-person healing. Outdoor areas provide peaceful spots for relaxation and reflection, while the recreation room creates opportunities for connection during a game of foosball or pool.
Aftercare planning begins during treatment and includes discharge planning, outpatient transition, relapse prevention, and recovery coaching. Clients connect with peer‑led community groups such as AA, NA, or SMART Recovery. Alumni support and case management continue after discharge to ensure clients maintain their progress and build a stable life.

Private for-profit organization. Primary focus: substance use treatment, detoxification.
