About The Prairie Recovery

The Prairie Recovery Center is a place where healing begins and hope is renewed for clients struggling with substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. The team at The Prairie helps clients find long-term freedom from addiction and corresponding mental health concerns by guiding clients through the detox process and transitioning them into a residential level of care. The medical team at The Prairie expertly helps navigate this process, understanding the complexity and urgency needed in this crucial stage of recovery. After detox, clients move on to the residential program which can last 30-90 days. This level of care provides a distraction and trigger-free environment for clients to receive intensive therapy and plan for life after rehab. Specializing in dual diagnoses, The Prairie understands the vicious cycle of seeking relief from a mental health disorder while also struggling with addiction. Because the two disorders feed into each other, the team treats the whole person with a mind-body approach.
The Prairie Recovery Center takes a nuanced approach to treating addiction, recognizing it as a complex disease that requires a multi-faceted strategy addressing physical, emotional, and mental aspects of recovery. They offer a range of evidence-based therapies, including proven-effective therapeutic staples like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and motivational interviewing, alongside mind-body-focused therapies like mindfulness practices, yoga, equine therapy, and art therapy. With multiple recovery program options—including the 12-Step Program, SMART Recovery, and Refuge Recovery—clients can choose the path that best suits their needs. The center's team of masters and doctoral-level clinicians, psychiatrists, medical doctors, and nurses are not just experts in their fields but also compassionate allies in each client's journey to recovery; many being personally familiar with addiction and its effects.
The Prairie Recovery Center caters to a diverse clientele, providing specialized dual diagnosis care for adults seeking a fresh start. Many working professionals find The Prairie Recovery Center a good fit given that they allow cell phone and laptop usage. Their blend of evidence-based therapies and innovative recreational, outdoor therapies help encourage whole-person healing. Clients can find solace in equine therapy, where gentle interactions with horses foster self-awareness and emotional growth. Many clients rediscover inner peace through meditation and mindfulness practices, while art therapy unlocks creativity as a tool for expression and healing. At The Prairie Recovery Center, clients are not just treated, they are empowered to rewrite their story by choosing their own path to recovery.
At The Prairie Recovery Center, clients discover a serene prairie landscape, where recovery meets luxury. Every client enjoys the comfort of a full-sized bed, with the option to request a private room for added personal space. The thoughtfully designed facility offers more than just accommodation—it's a holistic healing environment where clients can unwind by the fishing pond, take a refreshing swim in the sparkling pool, or challenge themselves on pickleball and basketball courts. Between therapy sessions, clients can expect moments of joy from the center's resident cats, providing companionship. The Prairie Recovery Center’s environment feels like a rejuvenating retreat, offering clients the comfort and inspiration needed to awaken their best selves.

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 The Prairie Recovery provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)

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.

The Prairie Recovery offers 3 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. The Prairie Recovery works with 24 insurance providers. Call (833) 567-5838 to verify your specific coverage and learn about out-of-pocket costs before admission.
