Promoting Resiliency
Our Mission & Approach to First Responders
Our mission is to empower and equip first responders who strive for hope, health, and a new mindset in recovery. We understand the unique challenges of your profession and work alongside you and your support network to break free from the stigmas of addiction. With the right help and resources, you can achieve life-changing sobriety and reclaim your well-being.
Chateau Health & Wellness looks beyond just identifying and adjusting behaviors -- we explore the core reasons impacting your mindset, trauma, and environment. We utilize comprehensive trauma informed therapies like the Arbinger Outward Mindset and Dharma Recovery.
