The Dunes of East Hampton is a discreet and luxurious addiction treatment center set within a private estate in the Hamptons, offering deeply personalized and holistic recovery experiences. Designed for individuals seeking privacy and comfort, the retreat-style setting integrates therapeutic excellence with upscale living.

Founded in 2010 by Joe McKinsey, the center combines evidence-based clinical care with immersive holistic therapies—from equine work to mindfulness practices—all delivered in a setting that supports both healing and dignity.
At The Dunes, sobriety is pursued with compassion and respect. Rather than imposing institutional rigidity, the program emphasizes treating clients as individuals—with tailored treatment plans and flexible structure. Executive-level clients appreciate the option to remain connected to work, complete with sober companion support for necessary engagements.

The estate’s amenities are as much part of therapy as the treatments themselves: residents enjoy gourmet meals, serene walking grounds, yoga sessions, and aesthetic comfort that inspires introspection and renewal. The approach acknowledges that mental, spiritual, and physical repair are interwoven—and that healing flourishes in environments that restore hope and self-worth.
