2025

Our 40th Year of Healing, Hope.

We continue to believe in a holistic approach that addresses the mind, body and spirit in drug and alcohol addiction recovery.

As Tara Treatment Center celebrated our 40th year of helping individuals and families overcome addiction we recommited ourselves to our core values of

Honesty. Hard Work. Trust. Commitment.

Since 1985, we have provided a full continuum of services — from medically supervised detox and structured residential treatment to outpatient support and aftercare. We continued to heal the whole person: physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

Our Accomplishments.


Four Decades of Healing

In 2025, Tara Treatment Center marked 40 years of providing addiction treatment services to individuals and families in our community. From the beginning, we have been guided by compassionate care, clinical integrity and a commitment to supporting long-term recovery. Over four decades, we have seen thousands of lives rebuilt, families reunited and hope restored when it seemed impossible. This milestone reflects the collective efforts of staff, alumni, and community partners across generations.

Individuals Served

Throughout the year, Tara Treatment Center treated more than 500 individuals who entrusted us with their care. Each person was welcomed with compassion, treated with respect and cared for by dedicated professionals within a structured environment focused on healing, growth and long-term recovery.

Investment in Our Team

Providing high-quality treatment starts with a well-prepared and supported team. During 2025, we invested in ongoing training for our clinical staff to strengthen therapeutic skills, broaden understanding of co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders, and improve how clients are supported throughout their treatment journey. This training helped ensure our team is better equipped to meet complex needs, respond with compassion and consistency and help clients remain engaged in care during critical moments of recovery.

Alumni Engagement

Recovery does not end when treatment is complete. During the course of the year, we strengthened aftercare coordination and increased alumni involvement to help ensure continued connection and support after discharge. By expanding post treatment outreach and alumni engagement, we helped create a stronger sense of continuity, encouragement and accountability as individuals continued their recovery beyond our programs.

Expanded Outpatient Services

In 2025, Tara Treatment Center strengthened and expanded outpatient services to better support individuals as they transition from more intensive treatment into daily life. As part of this expansion, the Partial Hospitalization Program was established as a distinct program, allowing individuals to continue building skills, confidence and stability while gradually taking on more independence. This approach provides continued therapeutic support while encouraging personal responsibility and growth.

Supportive Recovery Housing

In 2025, Tara Treatment Center introduced a supportive recovery housing option for men seeking a stable, substance-free living environment during early recovery. This option is separate from treatment services and provides structure, accountability and community for those who choose it as part of their recovery journey.

Community Partnerships

Community connection plays an important role in the recovery process. Throughout the year, we continued to build meaningful partnerships that extend care beyond our walls. Through collaboration with local initiatives, clients had opportunities to engage in experiences that encouraged connection, responsibility, and personal growth. We were also grateful to receive increased grant support from community partners and foundations that believe in our mission. This investment helped strengthen programs, support our staff and expand access to high-quality care.

Looking Ahead

As Tara Treatment Center moves forward, our focus remains on providing high-quality, ethical treatment rooted in compassion, accountability and clinical excellence. Guided by data, strengthened by community partnerships and supported by a dedicated team, we remain committed to walking alongside individuals and families as they build a foundation for lasting recovery.

Our History Celebration.
