Overview

The Clearing runs a dual-diagnosis residential treatment program on San Juan Island, Washington, for alcohol and substance abuse, depression, anxiety, and related conditions. It offers an immersive 28-day experience where participants work in groups to uncover and address the root causes of their addiction and other challenges, gaining tools and strategies to build the life they want. The program combines addiction treatment with mental health care, emphasizing authentic empowerment and clear thinking inside a supportive recovery setting. What sets The Clearing apart is its focus on underlying core issues rather than just symptoms, its dual-diagnosis approach, and a structured month-long format in a peaceful, island environment. The goal is long-term sobriety and improved mental well-being, equipping participants with life-management skills to maintain recovery beyond the program.
