The Abbey -- A Premier Addiction Treatment Center

“Sitting on a bluff, overlooking the Mississippi River, The Abbey is a beacon of hope for those seeking a warm, elegant, and spiritual environment to engage in holistic therapy.”
Michael D. Shovlain, MHS
Executive Director

The Abbey is one of the nation’s most premier Recovery centers, providing residential, in-patient treatment to adult men and women. As a former Carmelite monastery and an AAA-rated Four Diamond luxury hotel, The Abbey is ideally situated to treat our clients with the utmost serenity, care, and respect.

The Abbey is a Center of Excellence in the field of addiction treatment, with partnerships with leaders in research and academia, as well as the finest addiction therapists and practitioners.

We specialize in a Professional Track, because so many of our clients are attorneys, physicians and other healthcare professionals, corporate executives, clergy, and any others who face high levels of stress in their professional or personal lives.

We hope you enjoy this virtual tour of The Abbey and our Program. Please do not hesitate to contact us, if we can assist you or a loved one on the Road to Recovery.
