Mainspring Recovery

Who is this facility a good fit for?

• Best fit if: Adults who want a highly structured daily schedule; value their own dedicated therapist, psychiatrist, and medical provider; benefit from large-program resources; want to take part in smaller therapy groups; interested in attending Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) meetings; wish to have visitation with family after treatment is underway.

• Not a fit if: Adults who are seeking private accommodations; looking for a boutique program with a small census; are interested in a less structured or self-directed daily schedule; prefer outpatient PHP while living independently; looking for immediate, unrestricted family visitation.

What to expect

Developing your care plan

• Before admission: During the initial phone call, clients will undergo a phone assessment to make sure the program meets their clinical needs. Insurance benefits will also be discussed and if appropriate, an admission date and time will be scheduled.
• Personalized treatment plans: Care plans are built by the clinical team, which includes counselors, therapists, and case managers. This is done collaboratively with the client and covers individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy, case management, and discharge planning. Transition support after formal treatment is also included.

Who you will meet with

• Medical and psychiatric care: Each client will work with their dedicated medical provider and psychiatrist, who remain part of their care team throughout treatment.
• Therapy and support team: Aside from working with their individual therapist, clients will also interact with their case manager, counselor, and group facilitators as part of the multidisciplinary team that supports them during their recovery process.

Typical schedule

• Weekday schedule: Days usually begin with breakfast from 6:30-8:30 a.m., followed by group therapy from 9 a.m.-4 p.m., with lunch taking place at noon. Smoke breaks are scheduled throughout the day. During the evening there is a client-led community meeting from 6-7 p.m. where residents choose the topics of discussion themselves.
• Weekend schedule: Over the weekend, clients have time to rest outside of participating in four treatment groups in addition to family visitation for clients who have completed their first 14 days.
• Residential PHP: Residential PHP lasts approximately 45 days. Clients remain in residential housing during this time and attend programming Monday through Friday, in addition to AA/NA meetings that take place three to five evenings each week.

Living experiences and amenities

• Recreation and amenities: Clients may have access to a gym, pool, and recreational activities during their free time. In residential PHP step-down, clients also may take part in community outings that may include visits to the zoo, museums, the beach, or the pool. Other activities may also be available.
• Community environment: Clients stay in shared rooms while participating in a residential community of about 60 clients. Treatment is organized into three phases with about 20 clients per group and four group facilitators. This is to help maintain a smaller group setting for regular programming.

Aftercare

• Case management: Case managers help clients prepare for life after treatment by connecting them to support groups, individual therapy, and other resources they need as they return to a more independent lifestyle.
• Alumni program: The facility hosts a virtual alumni meeting on the second Wednesday of every month at 7 p.m. There is also a dedicated alumni app that helps clients stay connected to fellow alumni, track their recovery milestones, attend virtual alumni meetings, and connect with admissions if extra support and additional treatment is ever needed.

Pre-admissions experience

We conducted a series of pre-admissions calls, the most recent on June 29, 2026, to evaluate response time, transparency, and patient experience.

Calling Mainspring Recovery was a positive experience. The admissions representative was knowledgeable, transparent, and easy to talk to. They answered questions about the program, daily schedule, and costs without using high-pressure sales tactics, making the conversation feel informative and supportive rather than rushed.
