The home you sleep in during treatment matters as much as the therapy room you work in. At RECO Intensive in Delray Beach, residential placement is a clinical decision made by the team, not an availability decision made by an intake coordinator.
What residential assignment looks like at RECO Intensive
RECO operates a network of five clinical residences across Delray Beach — The Hart, The Siebold, The Van Epps, The Parker, and The Tapper. Each property has its own character (gender, clinical stage, recovery-community culture). At admission, the clinical team assigns you to the residence that fits where you are in treatment — accounting for gender, your level of care (residential vs. PHP vs. sober living step-down), your trauma history, your privacy needs, and the existing community at each property.
If clinical needs change during your stay, we reassign. If a peer in your residence is destabilizing your recovery, we reassign. The placement serves the clinical work, not the other way around.
What we consider in residential placement
- Gender and gender-specific residence availability
- Current level of care (residential / PHP / IOP step-down)
- Trauma history and any contraindications
- Clinical stage (acute stabilization vs. sustained recovery)
- Community fit and existing peer dynamics
- Privacy and medical accommodations
Who residential placement matters most for
Every residential client. It matters most for clients with significant trauma histories, gender-specific clinical needs, professionals whose privacy is a clinical concern, and clients stepping down from higher levels of care who need a peer community appropriate to their stage.
How placement integrates with the rest of your plan
Your residence is part of your treatment plan, not separate from it. Your case manager and primary therapist coordinate with the residence manager. Curfew, visitation, peer dynamics, and house culture are part of the clinical conversation in weekly team meetings.
Why the RECO approach is different
Many programs operate one large residential facility and assign by available bed. We operate a network of intentionally small, gendered, stage-appropriate properties — and assign clinically. The difference shows up in the depth of community clients form and the stability of their recovery.
