Elite Recovery is a brand under Horowitz Health and is located in the Twin Cities area. They offer an intensive
outpatient program (
IOP) both in-person and virtually with the programs typically lasting 16-24 weeks. Through their outpatient programming, they offer relapse prevention planning, the Minnesota Matrix Model, counseling for anger management, access to appointments with medically-assisted treatment providers, and more. Their in-person IOPs are gender specific and they offer a separate LGBTQIA+ program. This program is called Elite Affirm and individuals are expected to attend programming for a minimum of 12 weeks. The program meets Monday-Friday 9AM to 12:35PM and individuals will begin a step-down process after attending for 12 weeks which entails moving to 4 days per week and then 3 days per week.
For their
partial hospitalization program (PHP), individuals must reside in one of Elite Recovery’s
sober living homes while participating in the program. Each participant will meet with a licensed alcohol and drug counselor in the first five days following admission for at least one hour weekly. A clinician will also meet with each participant to complete a comprehensive assessment and develop an individual treatment plan with the patient. During the program, treatment plans are reviewed weekly to revise goals, objectives, and interventions as needed. The program offers additional medical services like psychiatric medication management nursing services,
medication-assisted treatment, and nutrition and dietary counseling. In addition, they offer peer recovery support services (PRS) and treatment coordination, which focuses on connecting individuals with needed community resources. Individuals are expected to complete a minimum of 8 weeks of programming with programming being 25 hours a week, Monday-Friday 9AM-2:15PM. Lunch is served during weekly programing but all other meals are not provided.
Elite Recovery partners with many sober living homes to offer affordable sober living options for men, women, and those in the LGBTQ+ community. Individuals receive housing credit based on the hours they attended outpatient treatment at Elite Recovery and can apply it to their housing cost. Housing options range from $550 to $1200 a month.
Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Elite Recovery provide structured pathways to evidence-based care.
