Recovery Framework

The Valley Spring 4-Stage Model

A clear clinical pathway from stabilization to sustained independence. Each stage builds on the last.

Stage 01

Restore

Stabilization through our Partial Care Program. Six days per week of structured clinical support to establish a strong foundation. The focus is on medical stabilization, breaking destructive patterns, and building the daily rhythms of recovery.

Stage 02

Activate

Transition into evening IOP programming while reintegrating into work, school, or family life. Skills learned in Restore are practiced in real-world settings with continued clinical support 3–5 evenings per week.

Stage 03

Accelerate

Virtual programming provides flexible, continued care as you gain more independence. Teletherapy sessions, virtual groups, and digital resources keep you connected to your recovery community from anywhere.

Stage 04

Thrive

Alumni programming provides lifelong community connection. Monthly gatherings, peer mentorship, and ongoing access to resources ensure that recovery is not an event but a sustained way of living.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Partial Care (PHP) is our most intensive outpatient level — six days per week, 9 AM to 3 PM. IOP (Intensive Outpatient) meets in the evening, either 5 or 3 days per week, allowing you to work or attend school during the day. Many clients step down from PHP to IOP as they progress through recovery.

We accept 17 major insurance plans including Horizon Blue Cross, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, Anthem, Empire, Humana, Medicaid, Medicare, Tricare, and more. Call (201) 781-8812 and we'll verify your benefits within hours — often while you're still on the phone.

Yes — dual-diagnosis treatment is our standard approach, not an add-on. Many individuals dealing with substance use also experience anxiety, depression, PTSD, or other mental health conditions. Our clinical team addresses both simultaneously for better long-term outcomes.

A typical PHP day runs Monday through Saturday from 9 AM to 3 PM. It includes individual therapy, group counseling sessions (CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing), psychoeducation, wellness activities, and medication management as needed. The structured environment builds healthy routines while providing comprehensive clinical support.

Our Virtual IOP delivers the same clinical rigor as our in-person programs — live group therapy, individual sessions, and peer support, all led by licensed clinicians. Research consistently shows telehealth addiction treatment achieves comparable outcomes when properly structured. It's ideal for clients with transportation barriers, physical limitations, or those in the Accelerate stage of recovery.
