Rehab, Recovery, Aftercare & Sober Living
The Recovery & Aftercare rehab program at Benchmark is a 6- to 12-month long alcohol and drug recovery and aftercare program that is designed to provide a more comprehensive treatment for addiction and abuse than a traditional stand-alone treatment program.
For our students who have exhibited ANY history of behaviors of alcohol and other drug (AOD) use, addiction or abuse, we have implemented the Matrix Model 12-week Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), which is Level I of our all-inclusive addiction recovery treatment model. Benchmark can also accommodate court order sentencing agreements for drug and/or alcohol-related offenses, or for other infractions such as shoplifting, as an alternative to incarceration or to fulfill probationary sentences.

This program has been integrated with our life skills and educational curriculum and is specifically designed as a step-down for young adults who are coming out of wilderness, primary residential and/or therapeutic boarding schools. It is also an effective program for students who have not had any prior addictions treatment. Benchmark Recovery & Aftercare™ program is offered for a minimum of six months and provides emerging adults with the recovery, the after-care, the sober living and the real-world experience that has proven to be most effective for long term recovery.
