The Get Real Mission is to provide safe, confidential and quality-driven treatment in a therapeutic environment for individuals in need of substance abuse treatment. Our programs are designed to allow the individual to smoothly transition through every phase of their treatment plan.
We know that every individual is unique; the ravages of addiction are chronic, progressive and without help – can be terminal. Receiving treatment at Get Real Recovery is the beginning of a new chapter and a new life for you and your loved one. We provide top of the line care from the first phone call through graduation from our program. We provide real recovery solutions. We offer one year of aftercare at no cost for clients completing our program.
We love what we do and we know what works. Recovery demands structure from the moment we wake up until we place our head on the pillow each evening. We create a consistent daily structure that retrains the brain to adapt to new behaviors that in turn creates new neural pathways in the brain. We understand that repetition and routine provides a person with a strong foundation that will continue into their long-term recovery. We provide structure with the combination of: Incidental Medical Services, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Holistic Healing, 12-Step Principles, Individual Therapy Sessions and Life Skills Training.
Get Real Recovery has various levels of care and will look at your specific situation to determine what program scheduling will work best for you. We offer morning, afternoon and evening group and individual therapy sessions. We offer a free admissions assessment to discuss our various programming options. Depending on where you or your loved one is with their treatment or recovery, we can offer full day treatment to evening outpatient programming. We help people who are entering treatment for the first time to those who are attending work or school. We are standing by to discuss all of the options that we offer.
