In 1991, The Community of Recovering People (CORP), a non-profit organization consisting of a group of dedicated professionals and recovered individuals, shared their commitment to creating a continuum of affordable, accessible, and effective residential recovery services to help alcohol and drug-dependent individuals recover.

The result is an innovative residential recovery continuum that provides time out for those in need. The Retreat represents a non-clinical, mutual-help approach to the problem of alcohol and drug dependency. This supportive, educational setting is grounded in the spiritual principles of AA. By providing a safe and supportive environment to study and practice these principles, The Retreat opens the door to a life of contented sobriety.

What began as a Occupation Training Center soon transformed into its own entity with MDI Social Enterprise founder, John DuRand, leading the way in 1964.

At MDI people with disabilities have inclusive employment opportunities and all employees are respected. It’s important to us that people with disabilities find inclusive jobs where they can gain purpose, independence and empowerment.

 

The basic principle of this model is that a business can be more successful with a social purpose. We also know that doing so improves society as a whole, with more people working, paying taxes and contributing to our economy.
