A NEW PARADIGM FOR RECOVERY

It's one thing to stay sober in treatment. It's a different challenge to stay sober at home. We provide the tools, resources, and accountability at home. No need to be away from home or work.
Long-Term
Long term recovery takes a long time. Our program isn't a short term solution, it's a year long partnership with clients that helps them thrive in recovery.
Private
Our online approach ensures your privacy. Get the help you need without sacrificing your anonymity.
Whole System
Recovery is rarely about just one person. It's a systemic problem. The family usually plays a role in recovery, too. We help the whole family thrive.

Frequently Asked Questions
It's apples and oranges. In-person treatment programs are a short-term, intensive care option for those that need it. Many of our clients come from in-person treatment programs. Should one of our clients require more stabilization and intensive care, we refer our clients to an in-person treatment program. And some others, in-person treatment is not necessary. But for all of these categories, having a resource to build the tools and structures necessary for recovery at home is vital, and usually the difference between achieving long-term recovery and relapse.
Core Values Recovery offers a fully online approach, allowing you to receive support and treatment from the comfort of your home. Our program is tailored to your individual needs and schedule.
Not in the way you might have seen on TV. We don't believe in throwing awkward surprise parties for suffering people. Instead, we help the family build a plan for inviting their loved one into recovery, and help the family build and maintain boundaries. The loved one is always treated with respect and dignity, and the family is given the tools and resources they need in order to recover.
Data indicates that after a year of support and continuous sobriety, your chances of relapse are reduced dramatically. So, we encourage clients to commit to a year-long program. This allows us to build a strong relationship with you and your family, and to ensure you have the resources you need to achieve lasting sobriety. After six months, you reach alumni status, and many of our tools and resources are available to you for a lifetime.
Our recovery program is not insurance-based. We are a private pay program. We charge a monthly fee for our services, and you can cancel at any time. We may recommend additional services that are not included in the monthly fee, such as therapy, doctor visits, or medication management. Should our at-home approach not be a good fit, we will help you find a more traditional in-person treatment center, and pause our services until you are ready to move forward.
