About The Palms Recovery

The Palms Recovery offers a comprehensive and personalized approach to treating adults with drug addiction, combining their outpatient treatment with structured sober living environments. Their multidisciplinary, compassionate team offers each client an individually tailored blend of medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and evidence-based care, deeply rooted in the principles of 12-Step recovery. As clients receive the appropriate level of care and support for them, they can choose to live in one of The Palms sober living houses, providing structure and accountability as one eases back into their day-to-day lives.
Clients at The Palms may attend a partial hospitalization program (PHP), which serves as an alternative to residential care. PHP involves individual and group therapy sessions and activities, with 5 hours of treatment per day, 6 days per week. An intensive outpatient program (IOP) also consists of individual and group therapy, but offers more flexibility with up to 9 hours of treatment per week, meeting in the morning or in the evenings for convenience and flexibility.
Additionally, treatment at The Palms may offer relapse prevention planning, family counseling and education, psycho-educational groups, discharge planning, 12-step integration, life skills and holistic therapies. Topics discussed include a diverse variety such as interpersonal relationships, communication skills, boundaries, spirituality, gender identity, meditation and career development.
Once clients have completed PHP and IOP, they can receive ongoing individual therapy, community support groups, and care coordination and other aftercare support.
Clients have the opportunity to live in a sober living environment while they receive treatment at the Palms. Sober housing offers the freedom for clients to live by their own schedules, in a living environment that provides structure and accountability and fosters genuine peer connection and relationships. A drug-free environment amongst similar peers gives clients the chance to slowly ease back into their lives in sobriety and ensures a strong support system in the recovery process.
