Recovery isn’t just possible. It’s achievable. And you don’t have to do it alone.
At iRely Recovery, our recovery-oriented program places patients at the center of care, delivering person-centered, strengths-based services that actively link treatment to community resources, including mutual-help groups, housing, employment, primary care, and social supports, so that patients can access a broad continuum of care without barriers.
If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction, iRely stands ready to help. With the proper care, support, and resources, you can overcome addiction and build a better, more fulfilling life.
THERAPIES & TREATMENT PROGRAMS
A Recovery-Oriented System of Care (ROSC) is a comprehensive approach to treating substance use disorders. ROSC focuses on the whole person and emphasizes long-term healing through a network of community-based services tailored to the strengths, needs, and personal goals of our patients.
Unlike traditional treatment, which often centers on short-term fixes, ROSC provides ongoing support to help you achieve and maintain recovery and provides person-centered care, recognizing that there are many paths to recovery.[1]
When treating substance use with a recovery-oriented approach, the care providers must be intimately familiar with recovery, having lived it themselves.[2]
How Long Does a Recovery-Oriented System of Care Take?
Recovery is a journey. It takes time and consistent effort to heal and rebuild a life following addiction. Progress often comes in small, gradual steps rather than dramatic leaps, and relapse or other setbacks are a natural part of the process.
True recovery involves learning, growing, and finding strength in perseverance, one day at a time. Here’s what the journey can look like:
- Pre-Recovery Support: Even if you’re still getting comfortable with what recovery may look like for you, we’re here to encourage and support you.
- Starting Treatment: When you’re ready, we’ll create a personalized care program that may include detox, residential treatment, or outpatient services. Your customized treatment plan will incorporate proven therapies, such as Recovery-Oriented Cognitive Therapy, facilitated by a multidisciplinary clinical team.
- Comprehensive Treatment: We help you address addiction, mental health, and trauma while building the skills you need for a better future.
- Aftercare Support: Recovery doesn’t end after completing a treatment program. Aftercare offers ongoing support as you rebuild relationships, achieve career goals, and find your place in the community.
Recovery-Oriented Programs
Personalized care is a key component of ROSC. Finding the right program can make a significant difference in your recovery journey. Proven recovery programs include:
- SMART Recovery: Focuses on self-empowerment and practical tools to manage cravings and triggers.
- 12-Step Programs: Offer a structured, spiritual approach with peer support through groups like Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous, Heroin Anonymous, or Marijuana Anonymous.
- Against The Stream: A Buddhist-inspired recovery program focused on mindfulness and meditation practices.
- Refuge Recovery: A community-based program that uses Buddhist principles to support healing from addiction.

Frequently Asked Questions about Recovery-Oriented Systems of Care
What makes Recovery-Oriented Systems of Care different from other forms of addiction treatment?
ROSC focuses on long-term recovery, helping with all parts of life, including mental health, relationships, and purpose. It enables you to build the resources you need for lasting recovery instead of just treating substance use.
Can my family be involved in recovery-oriented treatment?
Yes, involving family in treatment offers many benefits to long-term recovery.[3] We offer family therapy and support to help rebuild trust and connections with loved ones.

By including family, we help ensure everyone is on the same page, making progress more sustainable and meaningful for everyone involved.
