OUR PHILOSOPHY

Since our beginning in 1958, Ohlhoff Recovery Programs have been at the forefront in helping clients recover from addictions, growing to encompass the spectrum of care and services for which it is so highly regarded today.

We offer a strong, structured model of accountability and support which empowers clients and their families to take control of their lives.

Based on the belief that addiction cannot be cured in isolation, we combine the critical components of recovery into a unique, success-oriented approach:

  • Providing a social model of reintegration into the community
  • Emphasizing that recovery is spiritually based
  • Building a lasting community through the 12-Step principles
  • Operating from the clinical conviction that addiction is a family disease; therefore addresses the entire family, not just the addicted person
  • Requiring clients to be active participants in their own recovery
  • Relapse Prevention
  • Discharge Planning
  • Aftercare


Ohlhoff Recovery Programs provide the highest value and the hope of recovery.

For over 45 years, Ohlhoff Recovery Programs have provided quality, affordable programs for adults and adolescents in recovery from Alcoholism, Chemical Dependency and Eating Disorders.
