Saint Jude Twin Rivers Retreat

About the Retreat

A residential choice based program, based on more than 20 years of research and proven results:

In 1992 the original St. Jude Retreat House opened its doors and began providing unprecedented personalized care and services. Set in a beautiful Victorian Mansion with its lavish fireplaces, high ceilings, lush gardens, and old-world charm, the St. Jude Twin Rivers Retreat set a new standard for substance use programs.

Guests are educated in small sitting rooms, designed for comfort and privacy. These rooms are equipped with state of the art audio and visual equipment to aid in the teaching process. When not in classes or meeting with staff guests can enjoy a game of pool or ping pong, a stroll through the gardens, a game of volleyball, a bicycle ride or a game of chess. They may also catch up on their e-mail on a PC that is provided for guest use; or they may bring their own laptop as we have WiFi throughout our houses. There are always guests with special talents and hobbies; such as musicians, artists, and chefs; and guests are encouraged to engage in their talents while at the retreat.

All meals are prepared by our professional chefs and a salad bar is kept freshly stocked and available to the guests 24/7. Beverages and snacks are also available throughout the day and evening. Throughout their stay guests have a membership to the Alpin Haus Fitness Center recently named Gym of the Month by Bodybuilding.com.

Guests can enjoy a sporting event, a movie or their favorite show in one of our three sitting rooms with wall-mounted flat screen televisions, and when it's time to turn in the Twin Rivers Retreat offers dorm style rooms and semi-private rooms; both designed for comfort and privacy, and both offering brand new Tempur-Pedic mattresses.

As our influence within the treatment industry expanded and the original St. Jude Retreat House became filled to capacity, this created the need to open a new retreat house, the St. Jude Mountain Retreat.
