About Tree House Recovery NC
Located on the picturesque coast of Wilmington, Tree House Recovery in North Carolina offers support for individuals grappling with alcohol and drug dependency. Founded by Justin McMillen, the center employs a mind-body approach to cultivate a comprehensive rehabilitation experience. The aim is to transform the challenges of sobriety into a shared journey, fostering a sense of community built on trust, openness, achievement, and support that resembles a family environment.
Tree House Recovery prioritizes physical well-being alongside an adventurous mindset, integrating a variety of engaging activities into their program. Their unique action-based induction (ABI) therapy includes team-oriented exercises inspired by Navy SEAL training, while the specially designed ESM fitness program by Ryan Bain caters to the needs of those in recovery. Additionally, they organize monthly events, such as Spartan Races and Tough Mudders, through their Recovery in Action initiative, helping clients connect with the outside world. A dedicated physical empowerment team oversees and guides all these activities.
This center in North Carolina provides its services to both male and female clients, with a particular focus on young adults and veterans. The staff, many of whom are in sustained recovery themselves, deeply understand the challenges their clients face on their paths to healing.
