The Kiloby Center for Recovery is located in the beautiful community of Palm Springs, California. We are the first substance abuse treatment center in the U.S. to focus primarily on mindfulness, an emerging and effective therapy for the treatment of addiction. We are also the first center to focus primarily on mindfulness in the treatment of dual diagnoses and the underlying conditions related to addiction (depression, anxiety, trauma). We also treat issues unrelated to addiction such as anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, general unhappiness in life and many other issues. Our work is based on a cutting-edge approach developed by Scott Kiloby. To read more about Mindfulness, please check out our blog. Our work with addiction is very broad, covering alcoholism and various forms of drug addiction (e.g., meth addiction, heroin addiction, painkiller addiction, marijuana addiction). We also work with food disorders, food addiction, gambling addiction, sex and porn addiction and much more.

"The principals and wisdom on which the Center rests is like bedrock - solid. The tools for {mindfulness} razor sharp and profound, and by far the most effective I've come across after twenty years of seeking." - Jared
“I really want to thank you for bringing this work to the world. For me it was a breakthrough for the first time. I tried a lot of things but this cuts through on its own." ~ Jeannette K
"Scott didn’t supply me with a one-time experience. He supplied me with a tool that can be instantly used as soon as compulsion shows up. This might be the closest thing to a magic pill." ~ Nyki
"My time at the Center has changed me for the better, the way I behave, think and look. People tell me that especially my eyes look better, which are the windows to my soul. I'm peaceful, joyous and quiet! I have all the tools I need to deal with my addiction. I have no fear around it anymore." ~ Bones C
"I have known Scott Kiloby for many years now. He is a teacher who does not simply regurgitate concepts that he has learned from others. His words have been uniquely forged in the fire of his own pain. He speaks with authenticity and integrity from his own deepest experience, and teaches not by trying to be a teacher, but by being a living example of what he teaches. He is a rare breed—a teacher who actually lives and breathes his own message." ~ Jeff Foster
"Scott Kiloby is probably the most congruent and clear man of the highest integrity I have ever known. He is the same whether home relaxing or giving talks to groups of people. His pajama self is the same as his public self. He walks and lives his talk, fully, continuing to open and go though his own deepening daily. And he honestly could care less if I said these things about him or not, which is also quite refreshing but I wanted to say them anyway." ~ Marina B
"The Living Inquiry method was practiced with exceptional skill by every facilitator I worked with through the Kiloby Center. It is a rare thing for spiritual teachers to truly share their wisdom in such a way that others can practice it with as much finesse and grace as I witnessed from these facilitators, but Scott Kiloby is so humble, genuine, and clear, that his method has transcended him. If you're serious about your inner work, give yourself the gift of time at the center." ~ Jen L
"I wanted to run my 1st week at the Center. I had my doubts my second week. But sticking with it was the best decision I have made in life. I am entering real life with new eyes that see from an awareness I never knew existed. I have hope I never felt leaving other centers. Give this place a chance." ~ Kevin J
"I was really attracted to the idea of a non-12 step program. I came in looking for tools to stay sober. I left with those tools and a lot more." ~ J. Bezl
"I'm reading your book, Natural Rest for Addiction. I want to tell you these books are the most important I have read. They are changing me. They are healing me, my fears, my panic, my allergies, my obsessions. I must to thank you from my heart for having made available these liberating teachings" ~ Eduardo H
"I leave the center utterly transformed and excited to experience every single last drop of what it means to be alive. Every colour on the spectrum of human experience is now open for investigation without fear or hesitation, because I can see it clearly. The veil has lifted and the freedom that has always been there can now be lived. My dream has come true. There are no words to express the depth of feeling and gratitude I hold for Scott Kiloby and everyone I have worked with at the center. " ~ Natalie
"I am totally impressed with Scott, the facilitators and the skillfulness. The atmosphere is easy, open, loving, and directed yet fluid. Anyone with any kind of addiction, compulsion, anxiety, trauma, fixation, fear could benefit. It is a skillful practice, honest and grounded, yet very much amazing and inspired." ~ Sutra R
"I am very grateful to have been a client at the Center. I was not able to live peacefully using my own methods. These 30 days at the Center were just what I needed to start to live the life we are all intended to live - in the present moment and allowing all things to rise and pass through." ~ Lisa C
"After coming home from treatment at the KIloby Center, my wife immediately commented on the positive changes she saw in me, saying "I want what you have." Our relationship has since completely blossomed with gentleness and compassion. So much gratitude for the gifts I received at your Center." - Joseph S
"I came to the Kiloby Center for PTSD. I wish everyone with anxiety, depression or PTSD could come to the Center. I feel so much freedom now. I'm curious and open to staying with the experience of being in my body. My whole body/mind system feels grateful and healing. I'm excited about the possibilities that are opening up now that I'm experiencing safety in my body. I can relax now and move onto other things: family, work about which I'm passionate, music, and friends. This is the 'Enjoy' part of Scott's motto, 'Rest, Inquire, Enjoy Life' and it is sweet." ~ Lynn F
