All of the staff at Waddington Rehab Center (WRC) shares the belief that addiction is a treatable disease, and recovery is a comprehensive process that addresses the mind, body, and spirit. The progressive abuse of substances creates a cycle that can negatively impact every aspect of a person’s life. WRC focuses on identifying the underlying issues and provides treatment through medical, psychological, spiritual, and holistic means in order to treat the whole person.
At our rehab center, we have created a nurturing “therapeutic community” where our clients can disconnect from their addictions and reconnect with a higher presence. Our facility, food, and staff all contribute to a caring environment where participants can safely share with others.
