Mental Health and Drug Addiction Treatment + Sober Living
Recovery is what happens between sessions—at your kitchen table, on the drive home, at Sunday dinner. Our psychiatrist-led team pairs mental health treatment and drug addiction treatment through PHP and IOP with sober-living homes that keep the work going after group ends. One team, one plan, room to actually change.

Mental health and substance abuse treatment, done right
We are a psychiatrist-led outpatient program that treats mental health and substance use as one problem, in one plan, with one team. Depression, anxiety, trauma, alcohol, opioids, stimulants—whatever is on top and whatever is underneath—we handle both. No handoffs between departments, no waiting rooms full of strangers, no cookie-cutter workbook. You get named clinicians who know your history, a psychiatrist and therapist working from the same page, and a plan you can actually walk into on a Monday.

01
Psychiatrist-led care
A psychiatrist signs off on every plan. Meds and therapy stay in the same room instead of on opposite ends of a fax machine.
-
02
One team, one plan
Your therapist, your psychiatrist, and your house all sit at the same table. Progress in one place does not get lost in another.
-
03
Treatment + housing under one roof
PHP and IOP by day, a sober-living home by night. The tools stop being theoretical when your kitchen is part of the classroom.

04
Numbers, not surprises
We verify your insurance for treatment before day one so you know what you owe. Housing cost lives on the sober living page.
How it goes, start to finish
Most people move through five steps. Some skip a step, some stay in one longer—the plan is built around what you actually need.

See the work. Hear from the people who did it.
Two videos and three stories. This is what a day at RD actually looks like—and what it feels like a year later.
“I came in believing I could not stop drinking without disappearing from my kids for ninety days. RD gave me a plan that let me stay in their lives while I got well. Two years sober and I am the parent I always meant to be.”
“The house felt like a home the day I walked in. Sharing a kitchen with people who understood exactly what I was fighting made every hard morning survivable. I am still close with the women I lived with.”
“I finally had a psychiatrist and a therapist working from the same page. The trauma stopped running the room. Now anxiety is something I manage, not something that manages me.”

“Real Deal is without a doubt the most structured and therapeutic rehab program I have ever attended. It has brought me to one year in sobriety and I don't know what I would have done had I not participated in the program. I highly recommend Real Deal to anyone struggling with alcohol and/or drugs. It's amazing. Just try it and you will see for yourself!”
“Realdeal wellness and therapy will always have a special place in my heart for all the opportunities and care they've provided. They helped pave the way for me to achieve sobriety and build a better life for myself and when I needed them the most they were there in a heartbeat. Extremely grateful for their services and the environment they provide for recovery.”
“Real deal is a truly rare place that has instrumental in my rehabilitation. The staff truly cares deeply about you and wants you to succeed. Also Real Deal is one of not many outpatient rehab places that takes primary mental health cases. Highly recommend this place and thank you to everyone who helped me.”
“I love all of these guys. These guys made me feel better. They made me think better. I don't feel those ways anymore. Before I came here, I was certain I wouldn't be alive for much longer. These guys fixed that.”
“The Real Deal is an incredible program that prioritizes accessibility more than almost any other PHP, IOP, and Housing program. With housing fees at lower price point than a majority of sober livings, the option to have your pet with you, and a supportive recovery community, they really do try to eliminate barriers to care as much as possible.”
“Real Deal is different then the others. It offers flexible support for recovery, allowing you to live at home while attending therapy and counseling sessions. It's designed to fit your schedule and provides tools to maintain sobriety and prevent relapse. The focus on mental health is a great way to get to the root of what's gone wrong time and time again. Cannot recommend enough!”
“Real Deal is full of people who are passionate in helping others obtain and maintain their sobriety. They are always willing to lend a helping hand without judgement. They also have employees with real world experience using their own experiences to help others heal.”
