About Imagine Recovery

Imagine Recovery provides a loving, community environment for those struggling with addiction and mental health concerns. They have several outpatient programs to choose from including partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and a sober living home. In addition to treating addiction and co-occurring disorders, Imagine's innovative recovery approach can also treat anxiety, depression, and eating disorders with primary mental health treatment.
Imagine offers a 4-6 week program and 10-week intensive outpatient. PHP is Monday-Friday 10am-3pm. And IOP is Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday 10am-1pm weekly. The programs are led by licensed clinicians and limited to 10 people, ensuring a small, intimate setting. Evidence-based treatment involves dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) therapy, psychodrama, narrative therapy, life skills, and 12 Step philosophy. Mindfulness is a key component to the program and Imagine incorporates wellness practices through music, art, yoga, and nature.
The 12-week Mental Health Outpatient Program (OP) at Imagine consists of a weekly individual therapy session in addition to a 3-hour therapeutic group with a maximum of 10 participants that is facilitated by two professional therapists.

Understanding Your Treatment Options

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

Imagine Recovery offers 2 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 9 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment. Imagine Recovery works with 24 insurance providers. Call (833) 567-5838 to verify your specific coverage and learn about out-of-pocket costs before admission.
