Considering drug and alcohol rehab, but not sure where to start? Passages is here to answer all your questions about our holistic treatment program options.

With over 20 years of experience in the addiction treatment field, Passages is at the forefront of assisting people in discovering a life free of addiction. After our Co-Founder, Chris Prentiss built a system that helped save his son’s life, Co-Founder Pax Prentiss, we launched our innovative treatment program. Pax battled an addiction to heroin, cocaine, and alcohol for ten years. He tried numerous 12-step programs, but none of them worked for him. He constantly relapsed, and no matter how hard he fought to overcome his issues, he continued sinking back into the depths of addiction.

When Chris developed a unique treatment program, Pax could completely heal and recover from his substance abuse issues.

Chris’s method formed the foundation for the Passages treatment program, which has saved the lives of over 20,000 people from all over the world.

Unlike other treatment centers, we treat you with compassion and respect at Passages. We will not label you as an addict or make you feel trapped by incorrect notions about yourself. Instead, we help you see and experience the power that exists inside you, the strength that you never knew you possessed.

The treatment at Passages is excellent. There is no other treatment center in the world that can compete with the level of care we provide. At Passages, we give the equivalent of years of individual treatment sessions in a 30-day program. This facilitates intense work that addresses the root causes of addiction rather than focusing merely on substance use. The benefit of this method is that clients obtain a greater quantity of information and tools to help them transform their lives in a meaningful way.
