Story

In 2006, a group of dedicated professionals and recovered individuals shared their growing concerns about the changing treatment environment, difficulty accessing services, increased cost, reduced length of stays and diminishing focus on the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. In response the New Zealand Retreat a non-profit organisation, was formed to explore new, more accessible approaches to sobriety.

The result was discovered in Wayzata, Minnesota. An innovative residential environment that provides time out for those in need. The Retreat represents a non clinical, self-help approach to the problem of alcohol and drug abuse. This supportive educational environment is grounded in the spiritual principles of 12 step recovery. By providing a safe and supportive environment to study and practice these principles, The Retreat opens the door to a life of contented sobriety.
