Reach out now to reclaim your life!
Israel makes tangible the realisation that seemingly impossible goals can be attained. Retorno gives you the resources to make your goals of recovery and sober living a reality.
Addiction often causes your connectedness to self, family, and community to wither. Being in Israel helps you connect to your roots. Building connections and rootedness can be key elements in enabling your road to recovery. At Retorno, your journey to self-discovery includes building connections to family, community, and your roots.
Just the atmosphere in Israel contributes to feeling connected and meaningful. Instead of social alienation, experience a high level of mutual caring. Instead of every man for himself (or herself!), foster a sense of attachment.
Addiction tends to focus your functioning on the most self-serving level. Part of recovery at Retorno is to feel understood, to learn to receive love, to be able to care for others. As you develop the ability to give and receive, you can reclaim your inner self. As your life becomes imbued with meaning, you fill the vacuum where addiction takes root.
