Birmingham Recovery Center (Longleaf)

Longleaf stands out due to its leadership team with personal recovery experience, integrated dual diagnosis treatment, strong family involvement with a free community support group, and accreditations from the Joint Commission and Alabama Department of Mental Health.

The center was founded in July 2021, initially as Birmingham Recovery Center, before expanding to become Longleaf Recovery & Wellness.

We offer a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), and general Outpatient (Aftercare) services for adults struggling with drug and alcohol addiction.

We specialize in comprehensive integrated treatment, addressing both substance use and mental health conditions simultaneously. Care is coordinated between therapists and our medical director (a psychiatrist) to combine psychotherapy with effective medication management.

Our programs utilize a range of evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR, Brainspotting, Motivational Interviewing, trauma-informed care, and mindfulness-based practices.

We support multiple paths to recovery. We integrate 12-Step therapy and encourage participation in peer-led programs like AA/NA, SMART Recovery, Recovery Dharma, or NAMI Connection, based on each client's individual preference and needs.

No, our program is clinical and not faith-based. We respect all belief systems and support clients in whichever recovery path they choose, whether it's secular, spiritual, or religious.

Out-of-pocket costs are estimated as follows: PHP (Mon–Fri, 9am–3pm) is $10,000 per month, IOP (Mon–Fri, 9am–12pm) is $6,000 per month, and OP (Mon, Wed, Fri, 9am–12pm) is $3,600 per month. Please call to confirm exact pricing and available options.

Yes, we accept most major commercial insurance policies, including BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, Tricare, and others. We do not accept Medicaid or Medicare at this time.

No, we do not provide on-site medical detox. We can assess your needs and provide a direct referral to one of our trusted local detox partners to ensure a safe and comfortable start to your recovery journey.

Yes, we offer Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) as part of our comprehensive approach. Our medical team provides medication management services to support clients in their recovery.

The length of treatment varies based on individual needs and clinical progress. IOP clients typically attend 3-5 days per week, and the overall duration is determined by treatment plan goals.

This is not applicable as we are an outpatient-only facility. We do not provide housing, but we can help coordinate with local sober living providers if needed.

No, as an outpatient facility, clients attend scheduled treatment during the day and return home or to their sober living environment afterward. It is an open, non-residential campus.

Yes, smoking and vaping are permitted for clients in designated outdoor areas during scheduled breaks.

As an outpatient program, phones are allowed outside of groups/therapy time.

Our multidisciplinary team includes Master's-level licensed therapists, a full-time psychiatric nurse practitioner, and a medical director who is a board-certified psychiatrist and addictionologist. We do not have psychologists listed on staff.

Our programs are co-ed and serve adolescents, adults, and senior adults from diverse backgrounds who are seeking help for substance use and mental health conditions. Since we accept most commercial insurance plans, the client population is typically composed of individuals with private health coverage.

Family involvement is a cornerstone of our program. We offer weekly family therapy sessions, provide regular progress updates to designated family members, and host a complimentary weekly family support group. As an outpatient facility, formal "visitation" is not applicable, but family participation in therapy is highly encouraged.

We offer a step-down Outpatient/Aftercare program to provide continued support. We also develop a comprehensive discharge plan for each client that includes connections to peer-led recovery groups (like AA, SMART Recovery, etc.) and other community resources to support long-term sobriety.
