Beit T’Shuvah

My heartfelt thanks go to Beit T'Shuvah and its outstanding leadership team for their compassion, dedication, and unwavering commitment to my recovery. Although I was a tough case, they never lost faith in me and provided me with numerous opportunities to grow. I'm eager to repay this incredible community at any capacity that I can that has given me a second chance at life. I'm willing to go to great lengths for this remarkable community that my family and I deeply respect and admire! I'm filled with gratitude. As a grateful alum and former resident, I want to assure donors that their generosity is truly making a difference. Beit T'Shuvah

Offers a comprehensive and holistic approach to recovery from all avenues of addiction. In addition to the treatment model, there is also a vibrant and thriving Jewish community - Friday nights and Saturday morning Shabbat services are open to the public. This is a fantastic place to come to know, reach out for support for either yourself or a loved one.

My name is Mark and I live in Alaska. A long time ago (about 20 years) I went to treatment there, and being non Jewish, I was a tad afraid of what was to come. Rabbi Mark and Hariette (sp?) were still there, they are beautiful people. A beautiful lady named Aileen (sp?) found me online and hooked me up with Beit T Shuva. Thank God for her! I can say now that the people there helped me SO much, I have great love and respect for this place. If your thinking you need help, this place is the bomb!

This place literally saved my life! I could not get out of the traps in which I found myself. I highly recommend it. You don't have to be rich or Jewish; just need a desire to live a better quality and more meaningful life. I loved the spiritual atmosphere for community that Beit T'Shuvah provides. I was able to explore the roots of my own Christianity, and I changed in fundamental ways. I found my soul mate counselor, Dr. Valerie Rope, at BTS, and we worked together from 2012 to 2022, when she passed away of MS. I owe her, Yael, Harriet and Rabbi and so many wonderful teachers, my recovery and abstinence from gambling. Freedom from the toxic gambler's lifestyle I was living, I cherish! Grateful doesn't even begin to say it! Yael Landa is from Israel, and really understood me. I highly recommend her as an advisor and life coach! She now directs the program of recovery from gambling that I attended. My Mom found this place for me, and I wonder if it would benefit you? I needed all the help I could get in 2012, and being at Beit T'Shuvah was forever life-changing. There are so many friends I made among the community of recovering people, and we still keep in touch and care about each other! I highly recommend the amazing Beit T'Shuvah!

This is a Jewish faith based addiction rehabilitation center. Not just alcohol and drugs, but gambling, eating disorders, etc. This is also my family. How do you describe your family? As well as i describe my birth family, i describe this place as the reason i am alive. Intelligent, dramatic, loving, insightful, in the know, innovative, pioneering, rigorous but most importantly a safe haven to find yourself with like minded people and just home. They forever changed my life. I am so grateful for the opportunities they offered me and the lifelong friendships that i formed and participate in to this day. If you feel like you dont belong anywhere and your Jewish or not in some cases, if you struggle with any kind of addiction or something that keeps leading you to a place you dont want to be anymore. If you love music, yoga, surfing, people you can count on to show up for you, if you are willing to make changes in your life and discover what your real passion is. Well....welcome to beit t'shuvah(which means in hebrew House of Return)....and welcome to the rest of your life. As the rabbi used to say when the community welcomes you into the house at your first shabbos...HANG ON ita going to be a wild ride. Oh yeah, highly recommended!!!!!!!
