Our story
Why We're Here
Oaks Recovery was founded in 2015 because we had a vision of a world where recovery is rooted in all our lives, families, and communities.
We’ve experienced the destructive impact of addiction, but we’ve also seen the hope and healing that recovery brings. Our programs and services offer a safe, positive environment where individuals can find that hope and healing.
Core Values
Action, Connection & Community
1
Putting the program into action
Life in recovery starts with a program of action that addresses the root causes of addiction. It’s what we teach, and it’s what we live. Putting the program into action in our own lives sustains our recovery and allows us to lead by example.
2
Creating meaningful Connections
Connection is about meeting people where they are, and understanding that every person and experience is unique. We foster connection through shared experiences, opportunities to give back, and by creating a sense of belonging.
3
Building a Supportive Community
Building a community is essential for long-term recovery from addiction. It provides a sense of meaning and purpose, and it creates a network of support that we can count on when faced with challenges.
Personally
