Full Continuum Of Care With Step-Down Housing Support

Recovery Works offers a clear path through treatment, starting with medically supervised detox and 24/7 residential care, then stepping down to partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and outpatient services. PHP may be paired with housing, which can help clients stay in a structured setting while transitioning back toward day-to-day responsibilities.

Stabilization Support, Including Methamphetamine Withdrawal Management

Alongside detox for multiple substances, this location offers methamphetamine withdrawal management in a supervised inpatient setting. Medical monitoring and support can help clients get through early withdrawal more safely and prepare for the next phase of treatment, especially when symptoms affect both physical health and mental well-being.

Integrated Therapy For Substance Use And Co-Occurring Needs

Treatment is designed to address substance use and co-occurring mental health concerns together. Services may include individual, group, and family counseling, plus structured support such as trauma-related counseling, anger management, relapse prevention, and life skills development. Clients can also access both 12-step and secular recovery meetings as part of ongoing support.

Medications For Addiction Treatment And Practical Access Supports

Services include medications for addiction treatment (MAT) for opioid and alcohol use disorders, including buprenorphine- and naltrexone-based options, and they accept clients who are using MAT prescribed elsewhere. To reduce barriers to care, the program offers transportation assistance and case management, including help connecting to housing services and social services. Discharge planning, overdose education with naloxone, and follow-up after discharge are available to support continued recovery after residential care.

Quality and Trust

A

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.

SAMHSA-certified Opioid Treatment Program

This is a federal certification for programs that offer medication like methadone or buprenorphine to treat opioid addiction. It means the center is legally approved to provide this care, follows strict safety rules, and combines medication with counseling to support long-term recovery.

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.
