The philosophy of The Villa Veritas Foundation, Inc. is based on the theory of the 12 Step recovery program that addiction to alcohol and other substances is a three-fold disease: spiritual, physical, and mental.

We believe in the wisdom and utilization involved in the 12 Step programs of recovery that have proven to be effective for many hundreds of thousands of people and their families.

We therefore believe that the recovery process involves the mental, physical, and spiritual aspects of recovery

We also believe that healing is a very difficult and painful process -- the same as recovery from any other illness. The philosophy of The Villa Veritas Foundation, Inc. treats all three phases of the disease with the wisdom and healing of the 12 Steps recovery programs and the most current medical, psychological, holistic and spiritual approaches.
