Description

Who We Are
The purpose of Nova Recovery Center is to remove personal barriers through the
blending of recovery and clinical methods, giving everyone the opportunity to be
successful in recovery. The Nova Recovery Center residential drug and alcohol
rehabilitation program is designed to close the recovery circle and increase overall
sober success rates with the individualized continuum of care plans.


Treating Addiction at its Core
At Nova, we believe addiction treatment should treat more than just your symptoms.
Addiction is a deeply rooted disease—one that is almost always a result of a much
larger problem. The emotions, history, and attitudes behind your behaviors need to be
resolved so both your mind and body can heal.
Our treatment program consists of a variety of methodologies that create a solid
foundation on which to build your recovery. Our process is also completely fluid, which
allows us to individualize each program in a way that focuses on your growth, meets
your needs, and leads you to long-lasting recovery.


Rewarding Careers
Just as we are passionate about leading our clients in living happy, healthy lives, we
also value the happiness of our employees. Nova Recovery Center offers rewarding,
life-changing careers that allow our staff members to be a part of something much
bigger than themselves.
