Our Impact in 2025 l Tara Treatment Center

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 Leadership Change.

2025 marked a change in leadership as long-time CEO Theresa Matthews announced her retirement. The eldest daughter of Tara’s founder, Ann Daugherty, Theresa became CEO in 2006 following the passing of her mother. She spent her entire career at Tara and held many positions.

Jessica Daughtery became the new CEO, who began her career at Tara in 2002 and held multiple positions within the organization throughout her tenure, including facility administrator.

Their Words.

This place has spiritual walls around it and the best earth angels on the planet working there. I was committed to ending my life before I experienced Tara.

My experience at Tara Treatment Center was life-changing. I came in at my lowest point, feeling lost and broken. The staff treated me with genuine care and provided tools that truly helped me heal. I left restored, confident, and sober.

Our family will be forever grateful for Tara. Watching a family member fight this battle feels unbelievably helpless. The wonderful people at Tara not only help the one recovering, but provide important support to the family as well.

Tara will always have a spot in my heart. My experience didn't just save my marriage and keep my family together, it saved my life.

My son completed the program at Tara and it completely changed his life!!!! Which has completely changed our family’s lives!!! As most people know, addiction is a family disease so we were all suffering!!! The staff was so supportive while he was there and continued to check up on him from time to time as he works his out-patient programs! I will be forever grateful for his time at Tara Treatment Center!!!
