Real Recovery Solutions

Who is this facility a good fit for?

• Best fit if: Adults who want a structured evening Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP); a program that combines 12-Step principles with evidence-based therapies; benefit from small therapy groups; want therapeutic homework and reflective assignments; access to multiple levels of care and ongoing recovery support.

• Not a fit if: Adults who need 24-hour medical supervision or medically managed detox; prefer a non-12-Step recovery model; want an unstructured or highly flexible outpatient schedule; are seeking a fully virtual treatment program; a program focused exclusively on individual therapy.

What to expect

Developing your care plan

• Before admission: Prior to admission, clients work with an admissions representative to discuss treatment history and their current situation. Insurance benefits are also reviewed and verified at this time.
• Individualized treatment plans: Upon admission, clients meet with their assigned primary therapist and complete an assessment to guide the development of a personalized treatment plan based on clinical needs. Care is adjusted to meet each client's goals and circumstances.

Who you will meet with

• Therapeutic support: Clients participate in treatment led by licensed therapists, counselors, and both male and female group facilitators who provide evidence-based individual and group therapy, psychoeducation, and recovery support.
• Clinical leadership: Each client is assigned a primary therapist who develops and oversees their personalized care plan. A lead clinician oversees treatment. This helps keep care coordinated and aligned with the client’s recovery goals.

Typical schedule

• IOP Schedule: The facility's IOP program supports adults in need of addiction treatment who are also managing daily responsibilities. The program typically lasts about three months. During the first three weeks, clients take part in treatment Monday through Friday from 6 to 9 p.m., and for the other two months, the schedule moves to Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 6 to 9 p.m.
• Therapy experience: Small groups of approximately 10 to 12 clients take part in evidence-based therapies with psychoeducation and relapse prevention. Clients are given workbook assignments and therapeutic homework as well. Group discussions may explore topics such as relapse triggers, stress management, and inner child work. They may also participate in reflective exercises, including writing a personal life story. Holistic wellness activities are also available, such as mindfulness, meditation, fitness, and expressive therapies.

Living experiences and amenities

• Residential treatment: Clients in need of a higher level of care before transitioning into outpatient services may have access to residential treatment in apartment-like accommodations with shared living spaces.

Aftercare

• Personalized aftercare planning: Personalized aftercare planning is available and may provide referrals to supportive housing and continued clinical support through follow-up services, community recovery networks, and relapse prevention.
• Alumni program: Clients have access to regular alumni events and gatherings where they will have the opportunity to connect with peers and other former clients.
