Way Back Inn Grateful House

Founded in 1974, The Way Back Inn Grateful House is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to helping individuals rebuild their lives after substance and gambling use disorders. The center offers multiple levels of care, including Extended Residential Care (ERC), Intensive Outpatient (IOP), and Outpatient (OP) services. With 10 beds, the facility offers structured, long-term support for adult men to heal and recover, with each participant residing for 90 days to one year.
In the ERC program, individuals receive clinical services, housing, and meals, with personalized treatment plans. After completing the program, they can transition to Recovery Homes, where they receive less frequent clinical support, preparing them for independent living. The center also offers intensive outpatient (IOP) for in person, and outpatient (OP) services via zoom or telehealth.Teens ages 13-17 can also participate in outpatient services.
The center provides a comprehensive approach to recovery, including individual treatment plans, clinical services, and a focus on rebuilding life skills. Family psychoeducation therapy groups are held weekly to support patients and their loved ones address addiction-related challenges and their impact on the family system. The center’s goal is to promote lasting recovery through support, therapy, and community involvement.

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.

Way Back Inn Grateful House 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 8 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.
