Recovery Program

Drug and alcohol addiction is a devastating disorder that affects every aspect of a person’s life—family relationships, job performance and finances, and personal health. When you are ready to make a change, we are here to help.

At St. Gregory Recovery Center, we invite our clients to begin a faith-based virtuous life that will help you reach your goal of life-long sobriety.

A Virtuous Life

At St. Gregory, we introduce our clients to our exclusive Virtuous Life program. This is a loving invitation to change the path that has led to an addictive lifestyle.

In the Virtuous Life program, we explore seven virtues (faith, hope, love, prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance) as a path for improving and transforming our lives. We examine each individual virtue with a view toward understanding what it is and how we can apply it in our own lives and circumstances. The virtues are faith-based habits that allow us consistently to make better choices. By developing these virtues, we develop the habit of making better choices to create better outcomes for our lives.

The concept of virtue originated in Greek culture as a word that translates to “excellence.” Virtue, at a basic level, was the study of living excellently. The pursuit of virtue is the pursuit of excellence. Virtue isn’t simply about making one or two positive choices—virtue is the habit of behaving excellently in every given situation. Growing in virtue through a faith-based program like the one at St. Gregory with help develop good habits that allow us to thrive.

Using our exclusive program, we will give you detailed information and practical advice about how you can develop each virtue in your own life and how you can use them as framework for making decisions, both during your time at St. Gregory and after you graduate.

We are firmly convinced that if you engage in this process and grow in virtue, you can live your life excellently and substance-free.
