Fora Health

Who is this facility a good fit for?

• Best fit if: Adults seeking a longer, structured program; who benefit from predictable routines; needing withdrawal management before entering residential treatment; with substance use disorders alongside significant psychiatric or medical needs; wanting a program that integrates wellness activities; families who would benefit from therapy.
• Not a fit if: Adults seeking a small boutique or luxury program; needing frequent family visitation outside of necessary legal accommodations; looking for a highly flexible daily routine; needing a short residential stay.

What to expect

Developing your care plan

• Initial steps: The client or a referring party can submit an interest form, and the team verifies insurance. How quickly someone is admitted to the program depends on bed availability and medical evaluation. Clients can walk in for withdrawal management.
• Screenings: The next step is a phone screening and then a comprehensive on-site clinical assessment. Staff may request prior medical records and make a decision about whether withdrawal management is needed prior to admission to the residential program.
• Three phases: Residential treatment progresses through three 30-day phases, with programming and expectations changing throughout the course of treatment.

Who you will meet with

• Medical team: Doctors, nurses, and nurse practitioners provide medical support during withdrawal management and throughout residential programming as well as manage medications for addiction treatment (MAT).
• Therapists and certified alcohol and drug counselors: Therapists and certified alcohol and drug counselors help address substance use and behavioral or mental health needs through counseling and structured therapeutic programs. These can include newcomer and phase-specific groups, team-building sessions, and family therapy sessions.
• Peer recovery mentors: Peer recovery mentors add a peer support and lived-experience component to the facility’s clinical and medical care.

Typical schedule

• Daily programming: Morning groups meet around 9 or 10 a.m., followed by a break around 1 p.m. The afternoon group is at 4 p.m.; the evening group is at 7 p.m. There are three medication passes a day along with scheduled breakfast, lunch, and dinner breaks.
• Newcomer programming: Programming for clients in Phase 1 puts an additional emphasis on core foundations of recovery and helping them adjust to the program.
• Holistic and optional programming: Overall, programming is very structured, with clinical approaches used alongside holistic experiences. Beyond clinical groups, clients may participate in acupuncture, yoga, and art, as well as Dharma and spiritual recovery groups.

Living experiences and amenities

• A large, communal, routine-driven structured program: The facility typically hosts about 70 clients, with clients who are at different phases living alongside one another.
• Visitation: Every other weekend visitation begins after the first 30 days, though exceptions are made for mandatory family or legal visits. “Family” is broadly defined, with clients being able to name their chosen support networks.

Aftercare

• Step-down options: Clients who still need additional structure and support after residential treatment can step down to the IOP, which is 3 hours of group therapy per day, 3 days per week, plus one individual therapy session each week, for a weekly total of 9 to 15 hours of counseling. Fora Health also offers a less intensive outpatient program with weekly groups and regular one-on-one therapy providing between 1 and 8 hours of counseling per week.
• Flexible outpatient care: Outpatient treatment does not have a set duration; clients can work with their counselor to determine the length of treatment based on goals and progress.
• Peer recovery mentors: Fora Health’s Peer Recovery Mentor services offer trained professionals with lived recovery experience who can model healthy lifestyles and help clients access community resources and develop life skills.
• Open Access: Those seeking outpatient care can also walk in during Open Access hours (Tuesdays from 2-5 p.m., Thursdays from 10:30 a.m.-2 p.m., and Fridays from 11 a.m.-12 p.m.), where they will receive an assessment and be assigned to an addiction counselor.

Pre-admissions experience

We conducted a series of pre-admissions calls, the most recent on September 15, 2026, to evaluate response time, transparency, and patient experience.

We spoke with a representative from Fora Health who was warm and genuinely helpful without being pushy or salesy. They provided highly detailed information about the intake process and typical daily schedules and were transparent about bed counts, visitation policies, and the insurance verification process.
