Recovery Ways at Copper Hills

Primary mental health care with substance use treatment integration

Clients can receive treatment for primary mental health disorders like anxiety, depression, mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and personality disorders. Care for co-occurring substance use disorders is also provided, but a substance use disorder is not required to enter the program. Psychiatric services are combined with evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), internal family systems (IFS), and exposure and response prevention.

PHP program with on-site accommodations

The PHP provides intensive, all-day care for clients who want to return home or to sober living in the evenings, as well as those who choose to stay in the campus residence at night.This allows clients to attend to work and family responsibilities at the end of the day. The program runs 4 to 5 days a week for about 6 hours per day. Daily clinical care involves one-on-one counseling, group therapy, education, and medication management when needed. Care plans are adapted to each client’s health needs, personal circumstances, and goals.

Sensory integration room and experiential therapies

The room is filled with multisensory amenities and tools intended to help clients regulate their emotions and become familiar with their own sensory responses. This may be especially beneficial for neurodivergent clients who want a dedicated space to unwind. Clients can also participate in recreational therapy activities like group outdoor adventures and visits to local attractions.

Continuing care and family support

Clinicians help clients gradually transition from higher to lower treatment intensities as appropriate. Graduates of the residential program can step down to PHP at the same location, then to an intensive outpatient program (IOP) at other Recovery Ways centers. The IOP provides treatment in shorter sessions several days a week. Alumni can also access support meetings and find long-term peer connections. Families can be involved through education groups, including video sessions, and participate in the treatment process if the client desires.
