About Aquila Recovery

Aquila Recovery specializes in addiction treatment by providing intensive outpatient programs (IOP) for individuals and their families along with recovery housing. Their intensive outpatient program (IOP) allows clients to receive drug and alcohol treatment while still living at home. Clients receive about 8-12 hours of both individual and group sessions weekly. The sessions consist of counseling support, and education about relapse prevention. Once the client demonstrates signs of recovery throughout an extended period of time, weekly time in therapy reduces by about half and keeps decreasing until they are free from their addiction and signs of relapse.
Aquila Recovery's housing is for those needing a safe, comfortable environment to recover in. They provide 24/7 staff coverage, a highly structured program, recovery community support, and holistic amenities. At the Allem House, clients take weekly meditation classes with a trained teacher on site. Allem House clients also have access to transportation that takes them to their clinical groups.
Aquila Recovery is located in Washington D.C. They are accredited by the Joint Commission and accept most private insurance.

Private for-profit organization. Primary focus: substance use treatment, treatment for co-occurring substance use plus either serious mental health illness in adults/serious emotional disturbance in children.
