Experience Our Sanctuary
Luxury accommodations nestled in Covelo's pristine natural beauty
We aspire to help 1,000 individuals discover lasting freedom from addiction through nature-based healing, creating a ripple effect of transformation that touches families and communities across California.
Every journey begins with honesty and genuine support
The forest provides what traditional settings cannot
Building foundations for lifelong recovery
Led by David Crow in the heart of Covelo, California
At Zara Cares Foundation, we believe recovery is not just about abstinence—it's about rediscovering who you are meant to be. Under the visionary leadership of David Crow, we've created a sanctuary where luxury meets nature, where evidence-based treatment meets holistic healing.
Our Covelo location offers what urban facilities cannot: the healing power of pristine wilderness, the peace of mountain vistas, and the transformative energy of the Eel River. Here, surrounded by towering forests and endless sky, our residents find the space they need to heal deeply and completely.
We accept most major insurance plans and offer confidential consultations to discuss your unique needs and recovery goals.
