About Us

Welcome To Our Story

In the heart of every transformative journey lies a powerful beat, a rhythm that guides us through the highs and lows of personal growth and recovery. This beat is the core of Good Vibrations, a place where the melody of healing resonates through every story, every struggle, and every triumph. Our origins are humble yet profound, sparked by a simple conversation during a car ride that turned into a deep realization. Lori and Jake, a dynamic mother-son duo, found themselves frustrated with the traditional recovery system—its flaws and failings not just apparent but deeply personal. It was in this moment of shared frustration and clarity that the idea of Good Vibrations was born.

From the beginning, Lori and Jake envisioned something radically different: a recovery program that went beyond the surface to address the root causes of addiction, one that empowered individuals to navigate their own paths toward a life worth living. Good Vibrations was to be more than just a name; it was to embody the energy and spirit required for a transformative journey. With a blend of passion for helping others and a knack for building impactful programs, they set forth to create a sanctuary that fosters personal growth, holistic wellness, and a sense of community.

As we stand today, Good Vibrations is a testament to the vision of its founders. It's not just a recovery program but a movement towards rediscovering hope and creating endless possibilities. Here, we believe in the power of healing together, in the strength of shared stories, and in the endless capacity for change. Our approach is unique, built from the ground up to ensure that each individual can find their harmony within the melody of recovery.
