Founded in 2019, T’Shuvah Center is in the initial stages of creating a long-term addiction recovery community in the New York area. T’Shuvah Center is based on a model used at Beit T’Shuvah, an extraordinarily successful 30-year old recovery community in Los Angeles, California. T’Shuvah Center’s mission is to provide addicts of all kinds with the opportunity to build a community for recovery using a model that integrates Jewish wisdom, text, and ritual; psychotherapy; the Twelve Steps; and spirituality. T’Shuvah Center’s spiritual-based model founded on action, authenticity and community is devoted to building a sense of belonging and purpose to anyone who seeks it. This holistic model treats the individual, the mind, and the spirit, all while building a vibrant Jewish community.
