About Williamsville Wellness
A historic home on 400+ acres near Richmond, where adults recover from alcohol, drug and gambling addiction with 8-10 individual therapy sessions a week, compared to 1-2 at most rehabs.
Our Story
Williamsville Wellness was founded in 2007 by Bob Cabaniss, who opened his family's historic home just north of Richmond to people struggling with addiction. His goal was simple: give people the time, attention and setting they need to truly heal.
Since then, hundreds of people have rebuilt their lives here. We still believe what Bob believed from the start. Lasting recovery comes from getting to the root of addiction, one conversation at a time, in a place that feels like home.
