The mission of Sana Lake is to empower individuals to break free from addiction and forge a path to lifelong sobriety. Sana Lake provides a supportive environment that encourages connection and personal growth, guided by a commitment to long-term recovery.
Accreditations and awards are more than just symbols of excellence—they are assurances to you, our members, of the highest quality care and safety standards in addiction treatment. Each recognition underscores our commitment to effective, evidence-based treatment practices and exceptional patient outcomes.
The Joint Commission accreditation is a mark of excellence and compliance with the highest healthcare performance standards, guaranteeing safe, effective treatment.
Sana Lake was ranked the #1 addiction treatment center in St. Louis and one of the top treatment centers in the country in both 2022 and 2023.
LegitScript certification verifies that our facility meets marketing standards, ensuring all the information, reviews, staff and photos you see on this website are real.
An A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau indicates top-tier customer satisfaction and high standards of trust and transparency in all interactions with our members.
Being in-network with all major insurance companies ensures that our treatments are accountable and affordable, reducing out-of-pocket costs for our members.
Our purpose is to help people heal from substance use and mental health disorders for life, by giving them and teaching them to use new tools, so that they become happy and content in their homes, become productive members of their community, and begin to live healthy and purpose-driven lives; and with that our communities become a better place! When our members leave Sana Lake, families are put back together and relationships are rebuilt.
Above all, we seek the best quality of life for our members, families and each other. We nurture, support, guide and care for them and do not enable them.
Substance use and mental health disorders are a chronic disease, not a choice. Therefore, we use a system of care that delivers a full continuum of individualized, evidence-based care that connects our members with Recovery for Life.
We exemplify our Purpose, Principles and Philosophies in all our affairs. We are not perfect, but we strive to be our best at all times.
We believe in doing well by doing good. Our stakeholders deserve an adequate return on capital so that we can reinvest in helping more people.
