Retorno’s management and many of the staff members are frum. Our program is infused with Yiddishkeit. Retorno provides expert addiction recovery in a warm, heimesh community environment. No matter what your current matzav, no matter what your relationship to the Jewish community, Retorno offers an open non-judgemental path to recovery and finding your own path.
Yeshiva background, Bais Yaakov, and even Lakewood don’t provide innoculation agains substance abuse
Substance abuse, drug abuse, and alcohol abuse, affects yeshiva bochurim, frum girls, young men from fine homes, and girls studying in seminary. The addiction psychologists, social workers, addiction counselors, and other staff at Retorno understand your world. Without being judgemental, Retorno offers the support that can make recovery possible.
No judgments, but support for your path to recovery
Are you ready to get clean and stay clean from drug addiction, alcohol addiction, or gambling addiction? At Retorno you can choose a new path in life. That path can bring you true and lasting recovery.
Retorno incorporates the 12 Step program with an enriching Jewish spiritual environment. Retorno is not a yeshiva, but we are tuned-in to the needs of people who have struggled in the frum community. Our alumni include yeshiva students, off-the-derech ex-yeshiva students, and former Bais Yaakov students.
If you are interested, learning and davening is available. Of course, Retorno offers a full range of therapeutic support with expert staff, outdoor activities (such as horseback riding/training), and much more.

Addiction affects our communities: from Lakewood to Stamford Hill in London
Still not sure that addiction is a common problem in the frum world, including in our yeshivas and Bais Yakov schools? Just search Yeshiva World News or Matzav.com, the 5 Towns Jewish Times, or other publications serving frum communities for “addiction” or “overdose.”
Substance abuse and addiction is not somebody else’s problem. Families and young people in Boro Park, Flatbush, Williamsburg, Monsey, The Five Towns, Lakewood, Stamford Hill, and in Jewish communities all over the United States, Canada, the UK, Australia, South Africa, and other countries struggle with addiction. Retorno offers the chance to reset your life in a frum, heimesh, non-coercive Jewish environment.
Treatment for addiction in our warm recovery community may offer the best chance for long-term, sustainable recovery. We are not a yeshiva, but we do offer opportunities for spiritual growth, prayer with a minyan, and learning with study partner (chavrusa) for those interested as part of their recovery.
