ADMISSIONS INFORMATION
TO HELP YOU GET STARTED…
The ideal Elevate Recovery member is a man who is currently substance-free and ready to take charge of his life! Combined with our intentional community design, our environment provides the right combination of challenge, support, independence, privacy, responsibility, and accountability.
We do, however, require that you be substance-free upon arrival at Elevate. We also ask that you arrive open to trying new things (even if it’s a little uncomfortable) and be open to challenging yourself and your current beliefs and thinking.
