At Retorno, group dynamics and peer encouragement help you build the internal resources needed for successful recovery. As part of “pressing reset” on your life, Retorno will help you develop competencies that have grown dormant.
Reach out now to reclaim your life
Israel makes tangible the realization that seemingly impossible goals can be attained. Retorno gives you the resources to make your goals of recovery and sober living a reality.
Addiction often causes your connectedness to self, family, and community to wither. Being in Israel helps you connect to your roots. Building connections and rootedness can be key elements in enabling your road to recovery. At Retorno, your journey to self-discovery includes building connections to family, community, and your roots.
Retorno is the largest Jewish organization in the world for the prevention and treatment of a variety of addictions. Our primary drug and alcohol rehab facility and detox facilities are located in Israel.
Building meaning – rehab in Israel
Just the atmosphere in Israel contributes to feeling connected and meaningful. Instead of social alienation, experience a high level of mutual caring. Instead of every man for himself (or herself!), foster a sense of attachment.
Addiction tends to focus your functioning on the most self-serving level. Part of recovery at Retorno is to feel understood, to learn to receive love and to be able to care for others. As you develop the ability to give and receive, you can reclaim your inner self. As your life becomes imbued with meaning, you fill the vacuum where addiction takes root.
Heal your body, heal your soul
When you choose to treat your drug addiction, alcohol addiction, or gambling addiction, you are choosing to get clean and stay clean. You are choosing a new path in life. That path is a spiritual one that will bring you true and lasting recovery.
Our programs, such as the 12 Steps, are based on the concept of a higher power. This perfectly complements Jewish values. Retorno incorporates the 12 Step program with an enriching spiritual environment.

Rabbi Eitan Eckstein founded Retorno as a unique solution for Jewish addicts all over the world. Jewish rehab means you don’t have to uproot your value system to achieve recovery. You don’t have to compromise. Retorno provides the space to recover in an environment that supports a commitment to Judaism, channeling the strength and wisdom of the Torah to achieve recovery.
