A Soothing Environment to Connect and Reset

The setting includes bright indoor spaces with a fireplace in the common area. Guitars are available for interested clients to share their emotions and stories through music. The center is surrounded by a lush, green lawn with big trees, creating a restorative outdoor space for clients to enjoy during their stay. Clients can play board games, share stories with peers, participate in weekend outings, and take private quiet time to unwind and reflect.

Multiple Therapy Options and 12-Step Integration

Clients participate in one-on-one and group therapy, with gender-specific support groups available for closer peer connection. Family counseling is available for loved ones who want to participate. As substance use affects not only the individual but also those around them, experiencing therapy together can be healing for all and help reset strained relationships. Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) 12-step groups are held on-site. Holistic therapies include art and music therapy, and meditation groups, supporting stress release and providing a way to express and channel complicated emotions. Spiritual counseling and nutritional guidance are also offered.

Life Skills Classes and Ongoing Support

To set clients up for healthy living after inpatient treatment, life skills classes are a key part of the program. These include topics such as self-regulation and management, problem solving, and critical thinking, as well as educational resources to learn more about substance use and accompanying factors. Ongoing support includes regular check-ins, treatment plan adjustments, and an alumni aftercare group. This group holds free monthly meetings for former residents to connect, share stories, and provide mutual support.

Patient Perspectives: Mixed but Often Life-Changing

Many alumni credit Recovery Works with turning their lives around, highlighting compassionate staff, structured education, and effective medical detox. Some couples also found healing together through the facility’s permissive approach to joint treatment. Experiences suggest that while Recovery Works can offer transformative care, the setting may be better suited for those comfortable with a structured, communal environment and fewer frills.

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.
