Medical Wellness Center
Operated by veterans on the coast of Wilmington, Tree House Recovery in North Carolina treats men and women struggling with alcoholism and drug addiction. They employ their mind-body method to create a holistic program that was created by Founder Justin McMillen. The goal is to “take the struggle of getting sober and use it to bond people together. In that struggle, there emerges a camaraderie made of trust, vulnerability, success, and support that feels like home.”
Tree House Recovery emphasizes physical fitness, as well as an adventurous spirit, in their program, which is why they include many activities. Previously mentioned, they have action-based induction (ABI) therapy, which incorporates various team-based drills adapted from Navy SEAL training exercises, specialized ESM fitness tailored for recovery created by Ryan Bain, and Recovery in Action, which is monthly events like Spartan Races and Tough Mudders to connect clients with the world around them. Their physical empowerment team accompanies and directs all these activities.
Tree House Recovery’s North Carolina center cares for both men and women, and they have experience treating young adults and veterans. Many on staff are in long-term recovery, so they can relate to clients’ recovery journeys.
