Spirituality is working in
drug & alcohol recovery

In the midst of our busy lives, it is important to take time to enhance our spirituality.  Like any relationship, our relationship with God is deepened and enriched by some focused time.  We believe that spirituality is working in the recovery community, which is creating a need for more inner peace and harmony.

Spiritual retreats are opened to family, friends, significant others as well as the chemically addicted.

Call or e-mail for current events or check out our calendar of events here on our website.

The spiritual life is not a theory.  We have to live it. 
Alcoholics Anonymous, p.83

The following is an excerpt from the Daily Reflections Book page 222.

When new in the program, I couldn’t comprehend living the spiritual aspect of the program, but now that I’m sober, I can’t comprehend living without it.  Spirituality was what I had been seeking.  God, as I understand Him, has given me answers to the whys that kept me drinking for twenty years.  By living a spiritual life, by asking God for help, I have learned to love, care for and feel compassion for all my fellow men, and to feel joy in a world where, before, I felt only fear.  

Featured Employee

My name is Matt Ryan and I would like to welcome you to our website. I am 25 years sober and have worked at Veritas Villa for 16 years. I am a counselor on the men’s clinical team. I presently work with the uniformed officers and union members that served at Ground Zero. I believe that unresolved trauma will ultimately prevent some people from getting sober therefore it needs to be addressed in a safe supportive environment in early recovery. I look forward to seeing you when you come to the Villa!
