Our Story
Located near Jackson, Mississippi, Defining Wellness Centers™ offers a full continuum of care for mental health and addiction treatment — combining proven therapeutic methods with innovative techniques.
Our Philosophy
Addiction is often a manifestation of underlying trauma. That’s why the goal for our clients is not simply sobriety, but a higher outcome: wellness and a sense of purpose.
Our Team
Licensed clinicians work alongside board-certified addictionologists and psychiatrists, with therapists certified in trauma, family therapy, art and music therapy.

Ridgeland Center
IOP and outpatient programming at 411 Hanover Circle, built for clients continuing care while returning to work, school and family life.
Testimonials
Alumni and families describe a therapeutic atmosphere, a non-shame-based approach, and staff who make you feel cared for at every turn.

Inpatient Care
Round-the-clock residential care removes clients from triggers and distractions, immersing them fully in the recovery process.

Outpatient Care
Flexible outpatient sessions let clients keep working, studying or caring for family while continuing structured treatment.
“I just joined the new alumni program, and it’s been very helpful. It’s new, but I love how interactive and supportive it is. We get to connect with others in a meaningful way, and there’s always someone to talk to. I honestly feel like it’s a new chapter in my recovery. I’m excited to see where it goes!”
— Sarah T.
