Spring Hill Recovery

Who is this facility a good fit for?

• Best fit if: Adults seeking treatment in a peaceful, nature-focused environment; people with substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions; who benefit from structured daily programming and community-based recovery; seeking a full continuum of care; families interested in active participation during treatment; looking for a comfortable residential setting with wellness and recreational amenities.

• Not a fit if: Adults seeking detox services on the same campus; individuals who prefer highly independent treatment with limited group participation; looking for a large urban treatment setting with easy access to city activities; seeking primarily individual therapy rather than a community-focused recovery model with significant group involvement.

What to expect

Developing your care plan

• Individualized treatment planning: Plans are developed upon learning a client's medical, psychiatric, trauma, and recovery histories, and previous treatment experiences, as well as determining current goals and challenges.

• Ongoing assessment and adjustment: As a client progresses through recovery, treatment evolves with them, with the multidisciplinary care team contributing to treatment planning throughout their stay.

"If you need to feel like you're supported from the second that you walk in the building, then this is definitely a place for you." — Mariajose "MJ" Lozada-Oliva, executive director of Northeast Recovery

Who you will meet with

• Medical support: Clients have access to 24-hour nursing support, with nurse practitioners available regularly to quickly help with medication needs and adjustments. Clients will additionally work with a primary clinician during their stay.
• Family support team: A dedicated family liaison helps to coordinate communication, visitation, zoom sessions, and connect a client's loved ones to family resources.
• Therapists: In addition to a primary therapist the client works with on an individual basis, they will also work with therapists facilitating group activities.
• Aftercare support: Alumni support representatives and a case manager may be involved to help a client transition to the next stages of treatment and prepare for life after recovery.

“Something that has been really important for our facility is that the staff are just very caring…you can tell that it's something that affects a staff member on a day-to-day basis. They come in because they love the work that they do, which really impacts patient care significantly.” — Mariajose "MJ" Lozada-Oliva, executive director of Northeast Recovery

“We are very lucky to have an alumni team who brings former patients in who have maybe six months to a year sober, even 90 days just to speak with other patients so they can really see that it is possible to get treatment here and you're able to recover....” — Mariajose "MJ" Lozada-Oliva, executive director of Northeast Recovery
