Why Choose Amity Circle Tree Ranch?

Amity Circle Tree Ranch offers an alternative to traditional alcohol and drug addiction treatment and rehabilitation programs. Our holistic approach to drug and alcohol recovery addresses not only the drug or alcohol addiction, but other factors which may contribute to substance abuse, including dual diagnosis. Circle Tree Ranch utilizes a curriculum which addresses abuse, trauma, grief, domestic violence, dysfunctional families, loneliness, failure, and other issues which often lead to addiction.
