We are a faith based spiritual addiction treatment program which combines the Wisdom within the Jewish tradition with the Twelve Step recovery process. We welcome addicts from any religion or lack thereof in order to help all by the principle of being a light unto the nations, and for recovering Jews who desire spirituality from within their own heritage. We treat the underlying cause of addictive behaviors, the existential emptiness and the self-will which also fuels relationship dependency, some eating disorders, and compulsive gambling. Our path is one of total personality change to maintain permanent recovery of the soul, mind and body, not mere prevention of relapse. We provide only the highest level of confidentiality for our clients.

Addiction is best understood as a soul’s loss of contact with its origin. Indeed addicts and alcoholics are often referred to as lost souls. The Jewish mystical tradition of the Kabbalah teaches a lost soul may find its return and in so doing not only overcomes physical addiction and addictive behavior patterns but more importantly finds genuine peace and meaning in this life. There is today much confusion surrounding spiritual practices and it is often difficult to understand and process this subject in a way that makes personal sense. We have a tradition or Kabala that spans well over 5000 years that is practical and provides a universal path for all people. We are close to the Messianic age and this wisdom will be the solution for all of mankind where all nations will be united under One G-d.  Within this unique Kabala there are rich insights into the nature of the psyche or mind and how to achieve higher states of consciousness for awareness of our spiritual identity that will completely remove all desire for mood altering substances. The darkness of the addiction becomes a blessing when turned into light with a life of happiness, satisfaction and purpose.
