A Phased Approach to Lasting Recovery
The Reprieve utilizes a phased, holistic approach to treatment, ensuring each client receives the right level of support as they progress. By combining intensive clinical care with real-world sober living, the program builds a strong foundation for a new way of life.
This is the primary level of care. Clients participate in a full-day Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), attending individual and group therapy sessions, while residing in structured, supportive community homes. This model bridges the gap between residential treatment and independent living, fostering accountability, peer support, and life skills development.
The Reprieve operates separate campuses for men and women, recognizing the unique paths and challenges each gender may face in recovery. This approach creates a safe, focused environment where clients can be vulnerable, build deep connections, and address sensitive topics with peers who share similar life experiences.
For those who have completed a higher level of care or need flexible support, The Reprieve offers virtual Intensive Outpatient (IOP) options. This allows clients to continue their therapeutic work from home, maintaining connections to the clinical team and recovery community while integrating back into daily life.
While The Reprieve does not offer on-site detox or residential care, their partnership with Bradford Health Services provides a seamless transition for clients who need it. The admissions team coordinates referrals to ensure clients are medically stabilized and prepared to fully engage in the PHP program upon arrival. Detox is $5,000, and inpatient is $20,000 without insurance.
