Residents come first at Common Ground Recovery

At Common Ground Recovery, we pride ourselves on providing a supportive and nurturing environment tailored to foster long-term sobriety. Our team of experienced professionals offer personalized care, ensuring each individual receives the attention they need to succeed.

Our programs are designed to address various aspects of addiction recovery, from initial detox to long-term support, making us one of the best recovery programs in Huntsville. With national statistics showing that over 20 million Americans suffer from substance use disorders annually, the need for effective recovery programs has never been greater.

12 Step Recovery

Residents immerse themselves into the local 12-step recovery community and leverage the proven principles of the 12-step model to achieve and maintain long-term sobriety. This program is designed to foster a fulfilling and useful life, not just free from substances but grounded in personal growth and self-awareness.

Trauma Informed Therapy

For many individuals, trauma lies at the core of their addiction. That’s why we partner with locally-based trauma therapists to provide comprehensive trauma-informed therapy outsourced in the community. This clinical support goes beyond the 12-step model, addressing the deep-seated issues that often contribute to substance use, providing residents with a holistic approach to recovery and healing.

Long Term Care

Recovery is a journey that takes time, effort, and ongoing support. Our program begins with a minimum 90-day commitment, but residents are encouraged to stay for 6 to 9 months, or even longer if needed. This flexibility allows us to customize the program to fit each individual’s unique needs, increasing their chances of long-term sobriety and success in recovery.

Academic Support

Maintaining sobriety should not come at the expense of academic and career goals. That’s why we’ve partnered with local colleges, universities, and employers to help young adults in recovery return to collegiate studies and the workforce. Our College Student Recovery Program provides the structure and support necessary to succeed academically while staying committed to sobriety.

LifeSkills Coaching

Successful recovery goes beyond achieving sobriety—it’s about rebuilding a life that fosters independence, purpose, and confidence. Our LifeSkills Coaching program equips residents with essential tools for everyday living, helping them thrive post-recovery. From financial literacy and budgeting to resume building and job placement, we ensure that residents are prepared for life outside of the recovery center.

Additional Services

We believe in supporting the whole person—mind, body, and soul. All residents have access to a variety of enrichment activities that promote physical fitness, emotional wellbeing, holistic family wellness, and an active outdoor lifestyle. These additional services ensure that residents receive well-rounded care, addressing all aspects of their recovery journey.

Our Transitional Living Model

Residents will graduate through a phased recovery model focused on critical healing needs at varying stages of the recovery process

Phase 1

Identity

(Re)Discover Who You Are

Our most acute level of recovery services at Common Ground Recovery aimed at reconnecting with self. Residents participate in an intensive 30 day program, which includes intensive outpatient services outsourced in the community, 12-step recovery programming facilitated by professional and experienced recovery staff, and individual and group therapy outsourced in the community.

Phase 2

Meaning

(Re)Build a Foundation for a Healthy Life

After completing phase 1, residents pass onto the Meaning portion of the program to better equip them for living daily life as a sober individual, forming healthy relationships with themselves and community residents. This phase is where residents will begin to work a job, and/or take college classes, or pursue a vocational track.

Phase 3

Purpose

(Re)Integrate with Community & Live with Purpose

The Purpose phase of the program focuses on reintegration into the larger community to live a life full of purpose, a keystone to long-term recovery. Residents will continue living at Common Ground Recovery, but hold stable employment, attend local 12-step recovery meetings, and receive the most freedoms & responsibilities.
