Sanctuary for Recovery

Addiction treatment takes place in three stages, Early Action, Middle Action, and Late Action which melds into Relapse Prevention or Ongoing Maintenance. Quiet Oaks takes advantage of the biophilic properties that work best with the most crucial treatment needs of each stage. Since there are a variety of landscapes and environments at Quiet Oaks, the ultimate goal is to place guests in the most opportune place for their specific healing needs at any given time. At the same time, the inhabitants of the facility leave a positive impact on the land and all the building systems, human systems, and non-human living systems are in harmony.
