About Recovery Place Inc PHP and IOP

Recovery Place Inc PHP and IOP is a CARF-accredited substance abuse and behavioral health treatment center located at 835 E 65th St in Savannah, Georgia, operating continuously since 1984. The facility addresses drug addiction, alcohol addiction, co-occurring disorders, and a range of behavioral health conditions including depression, anxiety, trauma, and eating disorders — serving individuals across the Savannah metro area through a broad continuum of care under physician oversight from Medical Director Nancy Backus, MD.

The center’s levels of care span the full treatment spectrum. Detoxification services anchor the clinical program, followed by a structured 28-Day Residential Program, Day Treatment, Intensive Outpatient (IOP), standard Outpatient, and Transitional Housing. This range means individuals can step down through progressively less intensive levels of care within a single organization rather than being transferred to unfamiliar providers at each stage of treatment.

Clinical services at Recovery Place are guided by COO and Clinical Director Diane Diver, MBA, CAC II, LCSW, and include individual counseling, group therapy, family counseling, and relapse prevention. The facility also offers virtual care and recovery support services, extending access beyond in-person sessions. Aftercare infrastructure includes long-term recovery residences and a dedicated Level One Outpatient transition program designed to support sustained recovery after the primary program concludes.

Recovery Place serves men, women, pregnant women, women with dependent children, and professionals in safety-sensitive positions — a notably specific set of populations that reflects deliberate program design rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. The facility accepts most major insurance plans, with the exception of Medicare. Office hours run Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 7 PM, and the center can be reached directly at (912) 355-1440.

Detoxification and Full Continuum of Care in Savannah, GA

Recovery Place Inc offers detoxification services as the clinical entry point for individuals requiring medically supervised withdrawal management before transitioning into structured treatment. Located at 835 E 65th St in Savannah, the facility has maintained an uninterrupted presence in the community since 1984 and holds CARF accreditation — a credentialing standard that reflects consistent quality benchmarks across its programs.

Following detox, patients can move directly into the 28-Day Residential Program, Day Treatment, or Intensive Outpatient Program without leaving the Recovery Place system. This continuity matters for individuals managing substance use disorder alongside co-occurring conditions such as depression, anxiety, dual diagnosis, or trauma, where care coordination between levels is clinically significant.

Programs Offered: From Detox to Transitional Housing

Recovery Place's program ladder includes Detoxification, a 28-Day Residential Program, Day Treatment, Intensive Outpatient (IOP), standard Outpatient services, and Transitional Housing. Each level is designed to correspond with where an individual is clinically — not just in terms of substance use, but also behavioral health needs including OCD, eating disorders, gambling, and unresolved grief.

The facility's aftercare framework extends treatment momentum through long-term recovery residences and a Level One Outpatient transition program. Virtual care and recovery support services are also available, providing flexibility for individuals who have completed a primary program but still require structured clinical contact.

Clinically, the facility treats substance use disorder, drug addiction, alcohol addiction, and co-occurring disorders including dual diagnosis presentations. Behavioral health conditions such as depression, anxiety, OCD, eating disorders, trauma, gambling, and unresolved grief are also addressed within the program structure, reflecting the treatment team's capacity to manage complexity beyond substance use alone.
