Structured programming from 9am to 3:30pm, five days a week — blending evidence-based therapy, medication management, and peer community in a family-style environment.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps you identify and reshape negative thought patterns, while Dialectical Behavior Therapy builds emotional regulation skills and healthy coping strategies you'll use for life.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy guides you toward psychological flexibility — learning to accept difficult feelings while committing to values-driven action and meaningful change.
Using Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), our clinical team helps you safely process trauma when appropriate — always with your full consent and at a pace that feels manageable.
Weekly one-on-one sessions with a licensed therapist — every client, regardless of program level. Your therapist coordinates with group facilitators so everything works together.
Choose the recovery approach that resonates with you — 12-Step principles, SMART Recovery's science-based methods, or Dharma Recovery's mindful approach. No rigid one-size-fits-all curriculum.
Meet with our on-site Nurse Practitioner within 24 hours of admission. Medication-Assisted Treatment options include Suboxone, Vivitrol, and Naltrexone — your choice on approach.
Your day begins at 9:00am with your peers in a supportive group setting. Morning sessions focus on evidence-based skill building — practicing DBT techniques, working through CBT exercises, or exploring ACT principles. These aren't lectures; they're collaborative spaces where you learn by doing, sharing, and growing alongside others who understand your experience.
Around midday, programming shifts to individual therapy sessions and psychoeducation groups. Lunch is provided daily — and it's more than just a meal. It's fellowship time, an opportunity to build genuine connections with your peers in a relaxed, family-style setting. These relationships often become a foundation for long-term recovery support.
Afternoons bring psychoeducation groups and case management support. Your case manager helps with practical life skills — resume building, job search strategies, court paperwork, and connecting you with resources. Programming wraps up around 3:30pm, leaving your evenings free for sober living, family time, or evening activities.
Treatment extends beyond the walls of our facility. Throughout your time in PHP, you'll have opportunities to participate in sober activities — hiking local trails, equine therapy at Blue Sky Farm, bowling outings, and community recovery events. These experiences help you rediscover joy and build a life worth sustaining in recovery.
Your case manager provides hands-on support with practical needs — resume writing, job search strategies, financial planning, and navigating court or legal requirements.
Recovery affects the whole family. Individual family therapy sessions and monthly Zoom support groups (open to any family member 18+) address codependency, family systems, and education.
As you progress, your team coordinates a smooth transition — whether that's stepping down to IOP, connecting with outpatient care, or establishing an aftercare plan with external providers.
Graduation doesn't mean goodbye. Our alumni program keeps you connected through community events, support groups, and continued access to resources — a lasting network for your recovery journey.
Need housing support? We help coordinate sober living arrangements so you have a stable, recovery-focused environment as you transition back to independent living.
Continue individual therapy at the outpatient level, attend alumni events, and lean on the peer connections you built during PHP — your recovery network grows with you.

From your first call to beginning treatment — no weeks-long waitlists
Your journey begins with a comprehensive clinical assessment and evaluation by our Nurse Practitioner within 24 hours. Together, we create an individualized treatment plan that addresses your unique needs, goals, and circumstances — establishing the foundation for everything that follows.
The heart of your PHP experience. You'll engage in evidence-based group therapy (CBT, DBT, ACT), weekly individual sessions, and collaborative goal-setting with your clinical team. This phase is about building the toolkit of skills you'll carry into every area of your life.
Now you put your skills into practice. Sober activities like equine therapy, hiking, and community events help you apply what you've learned in real-world settings. Family involvement deepens as you rebuild relationships and develop your support network outside treatment.
As you approach the end of PHP, your team coordinates your next steps — whether stepping down to IOP, connecting with outpatient providers, arranging sober living, or establishing aftercare plans. You'll be introduced to our alumni community so graduation feels like a beginning, not an ending.
