At the Twisted Tree it is our mission to create a unique, structured, and nurturing environment that allows for the opportunity to heal from drug and alcohol addiction, and re-create your life. We are devoted to creating a safe and sober environment where you will have the compassion and support you need, not only to recover, but to thrive, and re-enter society. It is our hope that as you continue on this journey to a new way of living, we will be the foundation upon which you can build a life free from drugs and alcohol.
Founder Joshua J. Hunt saw the need for a spiritual based recovery house and learning center and wanted to bring people together, thus Twisted Tree Recovery was conceived in 2023.

Twisted Tree... of Life
Lets find out who you really are and connect to your life purpose!
We have experienced first-hand the destruction and hopelessness that can result from a life filled with drugs and alcohol. We know, that if you suffer from chemical/alcohol dependency you need to re-create your life, the message and experience which can interest and hold you, must have depth and weight. We know that healthy and continuous sobriety requires real change and a complete transformation in your attitude and outlook on life. We are committed to working side by side with you; helping you to develop the necessary skills, just like someone helped us, to lead a balanced and happy life...
Thoughts, Quotes and Jokes
“Nobody stays recovered unless the life they have created is more rewarding and satisfying than the one they left behind.” - Anne Fletcher, addiction specialist
"The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind." - Caroline Myss.
Why do recovering addicts make good bankers? They have a lot of experience with withdrawls.
"You are not a victim. You are a survivor. And you have the power to change your story." - Unknown.
‘If it wasn’t for that rehab center, I probably wouldn’t have been here. In terms of recovery, it has been very important for me to be a part of a recovery community and to actively be around my people because they understand me. They get it.” – Macklemore

RESILIENCE
Resilience is the process and outcome of successfully adapting to difficult or challenging life experiences, especially through mental, emotional, and behavioral flexibility and adjustment to external and internal demands.
MENTAL
Being mentally tough begins with the conscious effort to start within yourself: mind, heart, and body. It may not be an easy journey, but it’s worth it if it means being able to sleep well at night, having healthy relationships, and being the best version of yourself.
PHYSICAL
Physical resilience is something that people can improve, to a certain extent, by making healthy lifestyle choices. Getting enough sleep, eating a nutritious diet, and engaging in regular exercise are just a few ways to strengthen this type of resilience.
SOCIAL
There is evidence that social support is not only optimal for human survival but vital in recovery, as well. Social support has been shown to dramatically increase the chances that an individual will stay sober and maintain a sustainable recovery.
SPIRITUAL
Many people who battle addiction can be put off by the idea of getting help because they have heard there is a spiritual component to the recovery process and they do not feel they fit within a spiritual framework. This is most likely because many people equate spirituality to religion and misunderstand the true definition of spirituality.
Treat Yourself with kindness
Your Mind has it's own agenda
The Conscious, Subconscious and Unconscious.
You can reprogram your mind to give you the focus and determination it takes to live a life that gives you fulfillment, joy and passion. Learn to release trauma, clear stagnation, heal old wounds and open energy blocks.
Connect to that magical part of self. Conscious living...
The subconscious mind is the part of our minds that makes decisions without needing to actively think about them. It’s different from the conscious mind, which encompasses the thoughts we know we are having at any given moment. It’s also different from the unconscious mind, which holds past events and experiences that we don’t remember. The subconscious mind goes beyond learning new skills. It’s involved in information processing and affects everything we think, say and do. It stores our beliefs and values, determines our memories and monitors the information all around us, deciding what to send to the conscious mind and what to store for later. It affects every moment of our lives – and most of us don’t even know it.
Starve the EGO and feed the SOUL
Based on a Native American proverb...
A tribal elder is teaching his grandson about life. “A fight is going on inside me,” he says to the boy. “It is a terrible fight and it is between two dogs. One is evil – he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.” He continues, “The other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you – and inside every other person, too.” The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asks his grandfather,
“Which dog will win?”
The chief simply replied, "The one you feed.”
________________________________________
The ego is always changing, it's a matter of biological survival.
Our soul and our ego are both part of who we are, and we can look at them as polar opposite aspects of ourselves that coexist and come to the forefront when we need them, depending on the situation that we’re in. The ego represents the self-centered, protective, and often fear-driven aspects of our psyche, while the soul embodies our higher self, inner wisdom, and connection to something greater than ourselves. When they’re in balance, the soul and the ego are able to perfectly coexist – it’s only when one takes dominance over the other in a situation that it can become problematic. It's important to know that the aim isn’t to squash the ego completely, because the soul self can equally take over and be unhelpful in some situations;
balance is key.
