ABOUT RECOVERY PLACE
Established in 1984 near midtown Savannah, Ga., Recovery Place offers a range of services for individuals struggling with substance abuse and co-occurring disorders, including residential treatment, a partial hospitalization program (PHP), intensive outpatient program (IOP), and outpatient program (OP). Daycare and medically supervised detoxification are available on-site.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Treatment begins with a 60- to 90-minute evaluation of the client’s physical, psychological, and emotional health. All treatment programs utilize a strengths-based approach and include medical management, experiential psychotherapy, spirituality, relapse prevention work, 12-step programming, and aftercare. In addition, a family group is held once a week.
Clients in the residential program typically stay between one and six weeks, depending on their needs. They attend two individual therapy sessions a week, along with six hours of group therapy on weekdays and three hours of group therapy on weekends.
The PHP/IOP is offered Monday through Friday in the morning, day, and evening. Clients engage in group and individual therapy, educational sessions, and have an ongoing support system that includes 12-step groups. OP, known as Level One Outpatient Services, enables clients to attend regularly scheduled counseling sessions while carrying on their regular daily routine.

The other anonymous alum gave the facility mostly low one and two out of five stars, including one star for overall treatment effectiveness and two stars for counselor training and staff support. “It’s nothing more than an AA meeting and it’s expensive. I got sober on my own,” the alum wrote, and added: “I felt alone and depressed and they were uncaring about it,” the alum wrote. An additional alum, S., reported a negative experience, and told Best-rehabs.com: “Some people can fail drug test and nothing happens but others pass and get kicked out because they want them to tell on others. Do not recommend this place at all.” .
