A Three-Phase Path to Recovery
Holdfast Recovery utilizes a structured, 90-day, three-phase treatment model. This approach gradually transitions clients from intensive clinical care to greater independence, equipping them with the tools, faith, and community support needed for sustainable, long-term sobriety.
Program Focus: ~30 hours/week of clinical programming.
The highest level of care, where men live in structured sober living homes while attending a full schedule of individual therapy, group sessions, equine therapy, and faith-based activities. This phase builds the essential foundation for recovery.
