Recovering Champions Philosophy
Our mission is to help those who suffer from drug and alcohol addiction learn a new way of life, repair the past and continue the daily process of recovery into the future.
Our proven approach to treatment takes into account each client’s background and specific needs. Unlike other facilities, we focus on more than just abstinence; we believe that a successful treatment plan must address the underlying spiritual, emotional and psychological causes of addiction.
To this end, we take a holistic, integrated approach to the disease of addiction, by providing customized treatments that focus on the mind, body, and spirit simultaneously.

ABOUT RECOVERING CHAMPIONS
Based in the Cape Cod town of East Falmouth, Mass., Recovering Champions operates two rehab facilities for adults struggling with substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. Both a retreat-style residence (also known as Awakenings Lodge) and an intensive outpatient treatment center (Cape Cod Behavioral Health) are designed to support holistic recovery, built on 12-step concepts. While detox is not offered on-site, the center maintains partnerships with local detox facilities and can help arrange for treatment prior to entering Recovering Champions. The recovery program opened in 2015, according to a Cape Cod Times article.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
The rehab facility's holistic approach incorporates outdoor activities, which include equine therapy, and a combination of evidence-based cognitive and behavioral therapies, experiential therapies such as art and music, and wellness practices, including yoga and meditation. Clients also participate in one-on-one counseling, group and family therapy, educational workshops, and 12-step meetings.
Highly structured partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient programs (IOP) meet for three-and-a-half to six hours each day. When utilizing the IOP as a step-down treatment process, clients will continue working with the same case managers and counselors assigned during PHP. The outpatient program (OP) operates in the same way, allowing clients to transition back to their daily lives from IOP with the same support staff. Programming for OP does not exceed eight hours each week.
Medication-assisted therapy, less intensive outpatient treatment, and family counseling are also available. Some clients opt for drug testing as part of their individual treatment plans.
STAFF CREDENTIALS
According to the center’s website, the staff includes master’s-level therapists and social workers, licensed alcohol and drug counselors, and case managers.
ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES
Recovering Champions' 50-bed residential accommodations in Sandwich, on the Cape, are referred to as a spiritual retreat center or wellness lodge, rather than a treatment facility. Photographs of this converted motor lodge and of the outpatient treatment center depict warm, comfortable, and serene settings with comfortable and modern furnishings. The lodge site includes a basketball court and vegetable and flower gardens. Daily phone calls are permitted and clients may smoke in designated areas.
