What we are
Four pieces, one continuum.
RECO Intensive is the sum of four things — a clinical campus, six recovery residences, an equine therapy ranch, and an alumni community that doesn't end at discharge.
01 · Clinical Campus
RECO Towers
Clinical and administrative offices in the heart of Delray Beach.
02 · Residences
Six recovery homes
Fully furnished homes for men and women in early recovery.
03 · Equine Therapy
RECO Ranch
Eight acres of equine-facilitated psychotherapy.
04 · Alumni
Lifelong community
Weekly meetings, mentorship, and aftercare via RECO Institute.
Our approach
Evidence-based, individualized, integrated.
Every treatment plan at RECO Intensive starts with a full bio-psycho-social assessment, then layers in the modalities your specific situation needs — CBT, DBT, trauma-focused therapy, medication management, mindfulness, equine work, family systems support.
We treat addiction and the mental-health conditions that travel with it in the same program, with one clinical team. The result is a relapse rate that consistently runs below the national average.
Read our full approach →RECO Phases
A continuum, not a single program.
Each phase is designed to step down gradually — more freedom, more accountability, more independence — without losing the structure that makes recovery possible.
Foundation
Clinical stabilization. Daily structure. Establishing a recovery rhythm.
Build
Deep therapy work. Identifying triggers. Building a sober identity.
Bridge
Re-integration. Employment or education. Step-down to outpatient.
Alumni
Lifelong community, monthly events, and the network that keeps you here.
The team
22+ clinicians and operators who run this every day.
Master's-level therapists, board-certified psychiatrists, admissions specialists, and behavioral-health technicians. Below: the leadership team.
