TLC's program is about recovery.

That's why you won't see pictures on these pages of smiling, healthy-looking residents who have all their teeth - frolicking on the beach hand in hand as if they're so delighted with their recovery they can hardly restrain themselves.

We don't offer five-star accommodations or world-class chefs. While there's nothing wrong with these amenities, that's not what TLC's about.

Most programs offering luxury amenities are operated by large for-profit corporations whose first question is about your insurance coverage. And when it runs out you're out the door until you get a new policy or win the lottery.

TLC was started and is peer-run by addicts who know what you're going through because they've been there. They know that the addict's problem isn't lack of silk sheets, lovely spas, luxury housing, or horse whispering.

At TLC we deal with gut-level recovery. Our treatment clinic is staffed with licensed behavioral health professionals who get to know their clients. And many of our staff members are themselves in recovery.
