Our program needs to fit you, you don’t need to fit the program. Your history, goals, strengths, and barriers are what we use to help you create a customized treatment plan.

Integrated Wellness Activities Foster Mind, Body, and Spirit Healing
Aftercare, Relapse Prevention & Recovery Coaching to Navigate Life After Treatment
Integrated, Trauma-Informed Care
We understand that effective addiction treatment addresses more than substance use, it helps heal the whole person. Our treatment approach is evidence-based and trauma-informed, combining the advancements in addiction medicine with proven therapeutic interventions tailored to each individual that walks through our doors.
Our trauma-sensitive team guides your care at Avalon to provide an integrated path to recovery that helps honor your unique story. This helps empower you to move forward with clarity, stability, and strength.

Structured Programs Adapted For You
Whether you are struggling with substance abuse, mental health concerns, or seeking treatment for both, we are here to support your individual recovery needs with tailored evidence-based solutions.
Withdrawal Stabilization Services
We offer a safe and structured environment for individuals experiencing physical withdrawal symptoms, providing 24/7 medically supervised care. Our Withdrawal Stabilization Services manages the physical and emotional challenges of detox with dignity, comfort, and respect, recognizing this as one of the most vulnerable steps in recovery. An experienced clinical and medical team is on-site around the clock to monitor vital signs and adjust individualized care as needed.
We use evidence-based medications such as buprenorphine, methadone, and naltrexone, integrated into a broader therapeutic plan tailored to the individual’s goals. During detox, clients receive emotional support, recovery education, and motivation to transition to residential or outpatient treatment.
Residential Addiction Treatment
We believe healing happens when care is personalized, respectful, and collaborative. Our Residential Treatment Program is designed to be flexible and responsive—built around the client. We provide 24/7 therapeutic support in a safe and nurturing environment where your recovery journey is guided by your goals, values, and lived experience. From day one, you are part of the treatment planning process. Our clinical team partners with you to create a plan that reflects your history, goals, and preferences. Whether you are seeking help for co-occurring disorders, trauma, or long-term substance use, your plan evolves with your progress.
You’ll meet with a licensed therapist individually to work through personal challenges, trauma, and goals. Group therapy offers a chance to connect, share, and learn from peers in recovery. And family sessions are available to help repair trust, rebuild relationships, and educate loved ones about the recovery process.
Outpatient & Continuing Care
Through ongoing individual and group therapy, clients gain deeper insight, reinforce coping strategies, and address challenges like stress, relationships, and emotional regulation while staying connected to their goals. Case managers and recovery coaches offer hands-on assistance with practical needs such as housing, employment, and appointments, helping clients rebuild their lives step by step. We also encourage connection to groups like AA, NA, or SMART Recovery, ensuring accountability and a sense of belonging in the wider recovery community.
Beyond ending substance abuse, our program emphasizes creating a meaningful life through healthy routines, supportive relationships, creative outlets, and personal purpose—because lasting recovery is about building resilience, joy, and a life truly worth living.
Aftercare & Alumni Support
Our commitment to building a vibrant and supportive recovery community is at the heart of everything we do. We know that long-term success isn’t just about what happens during treatment—it’s about the relationships and resources that follow you after you leave.
Continued participation in individual therapy, group therapy, and peer-led recovery groups help reinforce the progress made during treatment. These services provide a space to process daily challenges, stay grounded in recovery principles, and continue growing emotionally.

Stories of Hope and Healing
Chantiel Hevel
I can’t say enough about how nice this facility is and how amazing the staff is. As a family member of a recovering addict it truly brings relief to my heart knowing the workers at Avalon genuinely want to help and bring recovery for the people we love. The love and support without judgement is healing and I cannot recommend them enough! Truly, so grateful for them.

Avalon saved my life!
I was in a pit of misery and despair. My twenty plus years of addiction to meth, and my frequent visits to prison took so much time from my family that I felt like a outcast. In my darkest times I had lost the will to live.
Avalon met my wife and I where we were. Meaning in our addiction. They treated us with kindness and absolute understanding, because many of the staff have been down the same paths. There’s nothing like a bunch of complete strangers treating you like they’ve known you for years. Not passing judgement, or acting like they’re above you.
Their approach to addiction counseling is so easy going and understandable that it’s a wonder they ever have open beds. This place is beautiful. The staff is amazing! The CEO makes himself available to clients for small talk and wisdom. The Director is a Wizard! From the Nursing Staff to the Clinical Staff everyone comes to work smiling. You can clearly tell everyone in the building has your best interest at heart.
Today my wife and I are doing amazing. Avalon has armed us with tools to battle our addiction. The work is a constant grind. But it is worth every minute. I’m now available for my family in a way I have never been.
There is no way to measure the gratitude I have for the people at 801 Iowa St. These people are my family now. They are genuine and intentional in all they do. Lawrence, Kansas is lucky to have this place in the community. For it not for them I would still be either in jail, prison, or worse DEAD.
Thank you Avalon! For helping me to take back my life.
God Bless

I would recommend Avalon to anyone looking to make a positive and healthy change in their life. I’ve personally struggled with addiction and alcoholism all of my adult life and needed a change, was dreading rehab based on what I had heard from people I knew who had went to various different places. Avalon made me feel comfortable from the very beginning delivering a family oriented atmosphere that allowed me to feel confident in opening up, getting to the root causes of what lead me to and kept me in my addiction for so long. The facilities are amazing with a game room, spa, weight room and soon a pool, however, these are all just bonuses to the amazing staff who genuinely care about everyone who walks through their doors. They are focused on a unique approach to recovery that focuses on both physical and mental health in a relaxed caring atmosphere that has given me everything needed to move forward in life sober and healthy!!
P.S. I will forever be grateful to my new found Avalon Fam keep up the good work the world is a better place with y’all in it!!

I have never stepped foot in a more beautiful place to recover. Not only that, but I have never been apart of such an amazing, supportive team of people that all have the same vision of helping the next addict/alcoholic find their way to their own recovery journey. This place has by far exceeded any expectations that I had. I only wish that I would have had a chance to start my own recovery journey off here over 13 years ago. Top Notch!!
Robert Woody
Amazing leadership and a client centered mentality. They use Evidence based recovery techniques combined with 12 step programs. Brand new facility just opened a bit over a month ago. Has a gym, sauna, client recreation with old style stand up arcade games, air hockey, and TV. I wish this facility had been available when I started my recovery. Full inpatient treatment with medically assisted detox! They are even working on opening up the pool! This place is great!!
Andrew Richards
If anyone, and i mean ANYONE is seeking help with addiction, i highly, HIGHLY recommend Avalon. I started their program on June 27th, and im about to celebrate 30 days of recovery on the 19th, and i graduate on the 25th. My life is 100x better than it has been in the last 5 years, and its all thanks to Avalon!!
