Radix Recovery

Who is this facility a good fit for?

• Best fit if: Adults who need structured, 24/7 support for substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions; looking for a balance between clinical care and holistic wellness; want luxury accommodations; benefit from a flexible technology policy; have private insurance, Medicaid, TRICARE, or can self pay.

• Not a fit if: Need acute, hospital-based treatment; looking for outpatient-only or self-directed care; unwilling to participate in clinical programming; are uninsured and unable to self pay.

What to expect

Developing your care plan

• First 72 hours: When clients arrive, they complete assessments and receive orientation to get familiar with the facility. They also attend groups, go over the schedule, and make necessary appointments.
• Personalized treatment: Care plans are individualized and clinician-led, developed with input from the client. These are adjusted as needed throughout the residential stay.
• Clinical approaches: Methods integrate evidence-based therapy, including CBT and DBT, trauma-informed care, 12-step work, and wellness activities.

“New residents are paired with a senior peer who helps them understand the program from the perspective of someone who’s been there.” — Dr. Jacob Christenson, Chief Executive Officer

Who you will meet with

• Counselors: Primary counselors guide clients through weekly one-on-one sessions. Clients can request additional sessions if needed.
• Group leaders: Lead multiple daily groups across a range of recovery topics.
• Psychiatrists and clinicians: Provide medication management and mental health support.
• Support staff: These include life coaches, wellness staff, and peer community members.

Typical schedule

• Mornings: Clients eat breakfast around 8:00 a.m. The first group session of the day starts at 9:00 a.m. and lasts for two hours.
• Daytime programming: Clients participate in three or four groups per day. These include a mix of process groups, education sessions, and relapse prevention work.
• Evenings: The last group session of the day is held between 6:00 and 8:00 p.m. Afterward, clients have free time and can use their personal electronic devices.
• Weekend visitation: Visitation hours occur on Saturdays from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. With prior counselor approval, loved ones may be able to bring family pets with them to visit clients.

“Our goal is to treat the whole person — not just get substances out of their body, but improve physical health and address the mental health issues that contribute to relapse.” — Dr. Jacob Christenson, Chief Executive Officer

Living experiences and amenities

• Ongoing support: Clients participate in relapse prevention planning, continued therapy, and support groups, and can stay in contact with counselors post-treatment.
• Alumni program: This program includes peer support, workshops, goal-setting sessions, and social gatherings.
