Who We Are

The Pittsburgh Retreat is a residential recovery program based on a highly successful research-driven model in Minnesota. The program is open to anyone who has the desire to stop drinking or stop using any mind-altering drugs. We offer our guests comprehensive immersion and engagement in the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA).

An alternative to the traditional medical model treatment programs for individuals seeking to recover from alcoholism and addiction, the Pittsburgh Retreat provides a serene, supportive recovery community to help people transform their lives, and to support families experiencing the effects of addiction.

The Pittsburgh Retreat provides a spiritual, residential center located in a beautiful and serene setting near Pittsburgh, PA. Its purpose is to go far beyond the short term focus of medically based treatment programs to help individuals transform their lives for good. This successful model was developed in Minnesota more than 20 years ago, and it has helped more than 68% of its participants achieve long term recovery--a success rate far higher than most medical treatment programs. 

Through prayer, meditation, peer support, and mentoring, individuals can transform their lives by helping one another and by learning practical, realistic approaches to living joyfully and meaningfully without drugs and alcohol. Guests will immerse themselves in the spiritual principles of the 12-Steps -- the core of what the Pittsburgh Retreat promises. We know we can help.
