Care that feels different
We were founded by people in long-term recovery, so the way we treat you comes from having been where you are. That shows up in everything we do.
Founded by people in recovery
When you call New Wave, you talk to someone who has walked this path, not a call center. This is personal for us.
The same therapist throughout
You keep your private therapist as you move between levels of care, so your progress is never interrupted and you never start over.
Holistic care, every day
Reiki, yoga, sound healing, and mindfulness are woven into daily treatment alongside evidence-based therapy, not offered once in a while.

Questions about our team
Want to talk to a real person? Call us, someone in recovery will answer.
Who works at New Wave Recovery Center?
Our team includes licensed clinicians, a medical director, and recovery support staff, many of whom are in long-term recovery themselves. You work with the same therapist across levels of care.
Will I have the same therapist throughout treatment?
Yes. You keep the same private therapist as you move between levels of care, so your progress is never interrupted and you never have to start your story over.
Are the staff in recovery themselves?
Many are. New Wave was founded by people in long-term recovery, and that lived experience shapes the compassionate, judgment-free care you receive.
Is New Wave family-owned?
Yes. We are a family-owned center, which is part of why the care feels personal, you become part of the family from your first call.
Can I choose my therapist?
We do not provide medical detox on site. We refer you to a trusted detox partner first, then welcome you back to begin treatment with us.
How do I get connected with the team?
Just call. From your first conversation you will talk to someone in recovery who can answer questions, verify insurance, and help you take the next step.
