Pine Recovery FAQ
Pine Recovery Center is located at 120 West School Street, Visalia, CA. We offer comprehensive services for men in order to address all aspects of alcohol and substance abuse. Not only do we address the actual use, we also work to identify and address the underlying causes of the use as well. We provide services for co-occurring disorders and reintegration back into a prosocial lifestyle. We assist our clients with family reunification with the assistance of a family therapist because at Pine we understand that alcohol and substance abuse affects not only the person who is using but also the family. We also assist clients with employment, education, medical assistance, and any other needs as identified during initial intake with the program. All services are provided in Spanish as well.
