About Focused Addiction Recovery
Focused Recovery offers individually tailored treatment through a variety of outpatient treatment programs that vary in intensity. Their highest level of care is their partial hospitalization program (PHP). In PHP, patients can participate in an intensive level of care that is similar to a residential treatment program without the requirement of living at a treatment facility. Patients can participate in PHP for ongoing care after attending residential treatment, or as an alternative to residential treatment. Day treatment typically consists of 3-5 days per week, 4-6 hours per day.
Their intensive outpatient program (IOP) is a step down from PHP. Clients typically participate in active treatment 3-4 days per week for 2-4 hours per day. Patients stepping down from PHP will continue to work their personally tailored treatment plans while they begin to focus more on their daily responsibilities outside of treatment. Clients who don’t initially need a more intensive level of care are able to start their treatment at the IOP level if deemed appropriate. They also offer a virtual IOP option to make care as accessible as possible.
Patients participating in PHP or IOP will be given an initial assessment to identify their treatment needs and structure a personalized treatment plan. The licensed and experienced staff at FAR take a holistic approach to treatment, offering evidence-based therapies and an introduction to the 12-step program. Clients in treatment may participate in individual, group, and family therapy, addiction education, medication management, and medication-assisted treatment (MAT). Evidence-based therapies may include proven methods to address substance abuse and co-occurring mental health disorders such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT).
Other recovery programs and services provided by FAR include support groups and 12-step recovery meetings, relapse prevention counseling, a treatment program for DWI support for individuals convicted of driving under the influence, and a general outpatient program (OP), where clients can attend ongoing private therapy in person or virtually.
FAR also offers outpatient detox services, where clients meet with clinical staff on a daily basis while still residing at home. Medical professionals will monitor physical and mental withdrawal symptoms, and offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) using medications to help alleviate symptoms and cravings when necessary. They also offer medication management services, where a psychologist can review or adjust a current mental health medication regimen, or begin being prescribing mental health medication when appropriate.
Along with outpatient treatment services, FAR offers sober living, a semi-structured program designed to bridge the gap between inpatient care and independent living. Sober living provides a substance-free environment, structure, and accountability while patients work on their recovery while integrating back into society. FAR sober living provides regular drug and alcohol screenings, curfews, chores and household responsibilities, 12-step and other recovery meetings, and vocational, educational, or financial support and education. Clients are part of a structured and stable sober environment, given a sense of community and connection, and continue treatment as patients ease back into their daily lives. Clients must have completed a residential or intensive outpatient program before being eligible for sober living.
Focused Addiction Recovery is a CARF accredited facility that accepts most major insurances and offers private pay.

Facilities like Focused Addiction 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.
Focused Addiction 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. Focused Addiction Recovery works with 24 insurance providers.
