About Guest House
Guest House provides comprehensive residential treatment on a private 105-acre campus featuring separate treatment programs for men and women religious.
Each patient receives an individualized treatment plan developed by physicians, psychologists, addiction counselors, psychiatrists, nurses, and spiritual care professionals. Treatment addresses the physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual aspects of recovery.
In addition to treating alcohol and drug addiction, Guest House also provides care for process addictions, compulsive overeating, unresolved trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, OCD, and other co-occurring behavioral health conditions. The program includes continuing care services for up to five years following discharge to support sustained recovery.
What Makes Guest House Unique?
Guest House is one of the only addiction treatment centers in the United States devoted exclusively to Catholic clergy and men and women religious. The program recognizes the unique vocational, spiritual, and emotional challenges faced by individuals in religious life and provides specialized treatment designed to support both personal recovery and healthy return to ministry when appropriate.
Another distinguishing feature is Guest House’s long-term recovery model. Rather than ending care at discharge, the organization provides individualized continuing care, alumni programming, retreats, education, and recovery support for up to five years, helping participants maintain lifelong recovery.
