Over four decades ago, Habilitat was founded on the idea that addicts could recover if they were willing to work toward independence and self-reliance. Founded in 1971, Habilitat continues to teach the same principles that are associated with success. Honesty, integrity, self-discipline and resiliency are all concepts that are at the center of our philosophy. Habilitat has helped thousands of people throughout the years.
We have developed techniques for creating the qualities lacking in many people’s character: self-esteem, self-worth, and self-discipline. We motivate the unmotivated and often succeed where other programs have failed. Habilitat’s approach to treatment is unique. We do not subscribe to the notion that addiction is a disease. We teach people the truth: “addiction is a choice”. At Habilitat residents will learn a value system that will guide them in making the right choices. It is that simple.
