Full Continuum of Care on One Campus

The center supports recovery at every stage through an integrated model that includes onsite medical detox, structured residential programs, and step-down outpatient and intensive outpatient (IOP) services. Clients can begin detox in a medically supervised setting, then transition into a four to eight-week residential program in the same location. After completing inpatient care, individuals can continue treatment through outpatient services, maintaining therapeutic momentum while gradually reintegrating into daily life. This continuity of care helps reduce treatment gaps, fosters trust between clients and staff, and promotes long-term stability.

Flexible, Dual-Phase Residential Program

The two-stage residential treatment model is designed to meet clients where they are in recovery. The first phase emphasizes a 12-step framework, introducing core principles and peer support through Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) group sessions. In the second phase, clients have the option to enhance their treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which addresses thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to substance use. This flexible model allows individuals to adapt their care based on personal goals and needs.

Holistic, Evidence-Based Focus

Treatment blends clinical methods with whole-person support to address the physical, emotional, and social aspects of recovery. Core therapies include trauma-related counseling, motivational interviewing, relapse prevention strategies, and the Living in Balance curriculum, which equips clients with practical life and coping skills. Care is delivered by licensed professionals, many with personal recovery experience, who provide both expertise and empathy. Physical wellness is encouraged through daily routines and structured group classes, while peer support is built into the community atmosphere.

Trauma-Informed Approach and Process Addiction Treatment

The center provides specialized care for individuals affected by trauma, recognizing its deep connection to substance use and behavioral health. Treatment is designed to promote safety, empowerment, and healing, with counselors trained in trauma-responsive approaches. In addition to substance use disorders, the facility addresses process addictions such as gambling, pornography, and gaming. These behaviors are treated using evidence-based therapies alongside group support and relapse prevention planning, helping clients develop healthier coping mechanisms and rebuild control over their lives.

Comfortable and Community-Oriented Setting

Patients describe iRecover US as clean, comfortable, and relaxing, with shared accommodations and amenities that encourage peer connection. Group classes and 12-step meetings are core components of the weekly schedule, helping clients build supportive relationships that can continue beyond treatment.

Trust Score

A simple A–E grade that offers a quick view of how much confidence you might place in a facility. It’s not a guarantee of quality or outcomes, but a data-informed tool to help guide your search. More on our methodology.

Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities

CARF reviews rehab programs to make sure they provide respectful, effective, and personalized care. For addiction treatment, CARF uses standards developed with the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM), so this accreditation shows the program follows trusted, evidence-based guidelines for treating substance use.

How we research treatment facilities

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.

Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:

- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.

- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.

- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.

- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.

Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.

How we evaluate treatment facilities

These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.

Important disclaimer

We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
