Our aim for every patient that comes through The Prairie is long-term success. We recognize that people need to return home to daily activities like work and school, and can’t be in an inpatient setting forever. In fact, conversations about aftercare begin the day that treatment starts at The Prairie. Aftercare is not an afterthought, it’s a top priority. To help sustain recovery, we connect patients with our proprietary Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), designed to be a bridge between residential care and the return to daily life. Our network of care includes a host of resources beyond IOP, including recovery and alumni support groups for patients and their families and access to specialized, individual therapists.
