About Ritual Recovery

Ritual Recovery provides a supportive environment where clients can delve into therapy, develop coping skills, and address the underlying issues contributing to their addiction, all while maintaining their work, school, or family commitments. In each level of outpatient care—day treatment (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), general outpatient (OP), and telehealth—they combine traditional, holistic, evidence-based, and modern therapeutic approaches.
Ritual Recovery offers a dual-diagnosis, trauma-informed approach rooted in the belief that no two clients are alike. Their integrative wellness model blends evidence-based, 12-Step, holistic, and Eastern practices to treat mind, body, and spirit. Clients engage in mindfulness, movement, and nutrition-focused care, and address co-occurring disorders like anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, bipolar disorder, and borderline personality. Family members can participate in therapy sessions and weekly virtual support meetings.
At Ritual Recovery, clients find a newly renovated space where they can feel safe and comfortable doing difficult work. Situated on 60+ acres, the upscale facility includes spacious group rooms, wellness and creative areas, workstations, and a client lounge and snack bar. Clients also enjoy a growing list of sober activities—from nature outings to sports to community events—that support connection, movement, and fun. Transportation may be provided within a 180-mile radius, offering convenience alongside exceptional care.
Ritual Recovery offers comprehensive aftercare planning led by primary therapists and case managers. Through personalized guidance and support, they ensure clients have the resources and tools they need to maintain sobriety and continue their progress. Their alumni program also provides lasting connections and ongoing support with monthly processing groups and quarterly events.
