About Better Life Recovery

This treatment center offers effective treatment for clients who want to live at home or live in sober living. Their treatment is on par with the intensity of residential treatment. Their partial hospitalization program (PHP) is intended for those who are just leaving detox or an inpatient setting and need highly structured treatment. The intensive outpatient program (IOP) is also a great option for those stepping down from a higher level of care or for those who need more structure than a traditional outpatient program. The IOP offers both daytime and nighttime hours. The PHP, IOP and OP include varying levels of group therapy, individual counseling, family support and psychiatric evaluations. For those who desire detox treatment, Better Life does not offer detox but can help coordinate placement and function as patient advocate to ensure a smooth transition from detox into treatment. Because the program takes an integrated wellness approach, they include sound healing, pranic healing, meditation and yoga into the evidence-based programming. The clinicians collaborate with clients to address the social, emotional, physical, intellectual and spiritual dimensions of each person while in treatment.
