Tikvah Lake Recovery

I had the pleasure of touring Tikvah Lake and spending time with several of the staff members. As a professional in the industry, it’s extremely valuable to know treatment programs and the staff implementing those programs. After a day and a half learning about Tikvah Lake I’m confident in sending clients there. I know they will be taken care of in every aspect from their hospitality team to their clinical team. They go to great lengths to treat each of their guests uniquely and individually in designing a treatment plan and meeting them where they are at. The accommodations are top tier and the attention to detail and care are impressive. Outstanding in what you do Tikvah Lake!

i went to tikvah lake for bipolar disorder and substance use. the treatment that i received there is priceless. the therapists are incredible, the director is a beacon of light, and the staff are the most welcoming and loving people. i felt like i was home. the environment was inviting, luxurious, and comfortable. they taught me tools to use in the real world that help me cope with my issues. they helped me with medication adjustments and when i needed something done they listened to me and helped me accomplish what i set out to do. not everything is always perfect, but there was always a solution at tikvah. and that’s all i could’ve ever asked for. thank you so much for all that you’ve done for me.

Tikvah Lake was the perfect place for me to start my own path of Recovery. The concierges are the most helpful, kind and caring individuals that I have met in a setting like this. They truly and deeply care for all of the guests in the house. The one on o e therapy sessions and group sessions occur once a day every day of the week and are very helpful and insightful. I cannot say enough about the therapists that are giving you treatment. They are very knowledgeable and experienced within the field of addiction and mental health. I would recommend Tikvah Lake to my loved ones and anyone that is seeking therapy and recovery.

Having been to multiple rehab facilities before, I’ve gained a clearer sense of what works for me in recovery. I understand that no facility can perfectly meet everyone’s expectations, but I can share my subjective experience at Tikvah. Overall, I found most of the staff to be incredibly supportive and focused on making my stay as comfortable as possible. I never felt judged or burdened by the stigma often tied to addiction—in fact, I felt the opposite, which was a relief. Compared to a previous “luxury” facility I attended, Tikvah stood out for its effective therapy. Jimmy, in particular, was exceptional—the best therapist I’ve encountered in years of treatment, hands down. That said, I wouldn’t describe the facility as luxurious, despite how it might be marketed. It’s comfortable and clean, but the accommodations felt dated—think basic bedding rather than high-end sheets or beds. The food was a letdown for me; I ended up eating mostly carbs, which felt at odds with the recovery focus on a healthy lifestyle. I’d hoped for more nutritious options. Staff interactions were a mixed bag. While I appreciated the kindness of Zack, Katherine, and the concierge team—who genuinely seemed to care—I often heard more about their personal lives than I shared about mine outside of therapy sessions. Medical oversight was another concern. There’s no medical director, and the nurse, Wendy, came across as cold and dismissive. Early in my stay, I had an infection that staff overlooked for three days until my personal doctor intervened with a prescription. Despite these challenges, I left Tikvah proudly sober and confident in my recovery. Jimmy’s therapy, along with the support from much of the staff, made a real difference. It’s not a perfect place, and it’s no substitute for home, but I’m grateful for my time there. If you’re considering Tikvah, I’d say it’s a solid option for therapy-focused recovery—just don’t expect luxury or flawless care. Thanks to everyone who helped me along the way.

My experience here was top notch. The therapists were amazing and were able to provide me the tools I need for adopting a completely new lifestyle. The staff were very caring and accommodating. Administration also cared on a deep level and helped me with my situation. 10/10. Gold star for Katherine especially!
