I am just completing two weeks at Structure House for the first time. I bought their special 4 week package and paid for 3 weeks.I will use my other 2 weeks within the year.I came to get back on track as I was out of control with my eating and my eating habits. I knew they had a gym and life coaches but I was blown away by the quality of their dietician Ben, who offered a series of lectures with handouts which will be extremely useful once I return home. I was also very pleased with Katie, who is only 26 and in charge of the fitness program. I didn't realize there would be consistent exercise classes targeting the whole body as well as private sessions both included weekly as well as available for private classes as well.The food was good, with many details of caloric value and the best way to both lose and maintain weight, which tied into the Dieticiansseminars. The chef Thomas is very flexible, available, and down to earth.Lastly the life coaches gave classes every day on where out emotions fit into over eating and much advice on how to manageour stress and move forward to the life and weight we want to have.The program TOTALLY exceeded my expectations and I look forward to returning for my next 2 weeks for a refresher.I highly recommend-every staff member is very friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere and camraderie of the guests who come is non judging and enjoyable.LInda L

Accepted Insurance

Structure House works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care
24 Hour Clinical Care
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care
At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour clinical care offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, knowing medical detox and other treatment will happen with professionals on hand.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.
partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.
sober-living iconSober Living Homes
Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

Treatments

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
seniors-program thumbnail image
Seniors Program
Nearly one million adults age 65 and older live with a substance use disorder. Treatment providers who specialize in senior care understand the social, psychological, and physical effects of aging and how they relate to recovery. They can help clients address particular challenges and risks they may face as they get older such as overdosing and medication interactions and dependencies.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Animal therapy (aka pet therapy or animal-assisted therapy) can be very healing, as it allows patients to bond with animals, who give unconditional love. This is particularly useful for those who suffered trauma by the hands of people, who may be able to trust and form closer attachments to animals than humans at certain stages of rehabilitation.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

Eating disorders include anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and dysfunctional eating patterns. Many psychologists and other mental health professionals consider eating disorders to be food addictions, meaning food is being used in an addictive way (similar to drug or alcohol addiction). Certain substance abuse treatment programs will have treatment for eating disorders as one of the services offered. An eating disorder may also present as a co-occuring disorder or dual diagnosis alongside drug and alcohol addiction.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Fitness therapy blends exercise with psychotherapy for a fun, inspiring, and effective way of treating addiction and other issues. By incorporating movement into counseling sessions, clients become more empowered, motivated, and goal-oriented, all while strengthening their bodies and becoming more flexible. Fitness Therapy is usually used to complement a course of treatment (inpatient or outpatient) to make it even more successful. Increasing the connection between a patient’s mind and body helps both with healing as well as in creating new, healthy habits.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Throughout the core 4-week program, participants will be offered a number of therapeutic eating experiences. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.

I am now a month out. Having not being refunded a credit owed. I do not recommend. Pros and cons. I had some wins but an extremely frustrating The with an abundance of apologies, but no changes. The program is not cheap. The very last day the made that sweeps and changes the sheets weekly walked into my place a little after 8 AM without knocking check out, was at 10 AM multiple times I did not receive the food ordered, Structure House is not equipped for bariatric patients or gluten intolerant patients. It stresses three meals a day with volume metrics from trainers to life coaches to nutritionist to massages to counselors cost extra. There are group classes if you have an individual need it is difficult . everything is very cookie cutter. They have an electronic program to order your food. However, if you are a vegetarian, you must write it out you give them the meals for the week, and there is no way to correct it or realize that you Ordered something wrong unless you take a picture of your menu I was literally told by one of Which was the only rude person throughout the stay, despite having bad experiences, that I should have done It correctly the first time When I requested to see my menu. I was finally around the second or third week asked what I needed and told to request what I For my diet. Later, I was told that I was not receiving my food Because the dining would count numbers of food and not Once you reach a certain number. Some people Place very much. It amazes me how many Come back multiple times for instance, every year or people would tell me it was their 13th Time. My goal was to improve back pain, and Back on track. It is not a vacation and never want to return. Do your research. Choose wisely. There is a person noted as a success story that told me she had lap band despite the video never mentioning. Truth? Idk. Why does she keep having to return? Despite all apologies things continued going wrong through the last week and seemed to get worse. It s very disappointing. I was told that they were sorry that I had a bad experience but never corrected issues or did anything to make up to me the amount I paid. I saved all emails once I realized nothing was changing. There were multiple with no responses. Communication is absolutely terrible between departments. People told me different things until the end. I m disappointed that I spent retirement money to stay 8 weeks. I encourage people to research and decide what you need. Unless you pay for extra meetings it s not individualized. There is a menu to choose foods and classes you choose to attend. Do your research. With the money spent on the last two weeks which I foolishly extended I could have hired a trainer for the year. Just do your research and realize that no matter what it s on you. You ll succeed at home if you wish. Hire a nutritionist, a trainer a life coach & stay at home. Save money for a vacation!-I only know of two days in a row that I received my meals correctly-nutritionist that did my intake later talked to me on the phone after a complaint. She said that she didn t remember me and that I belonged to the other nutritionist.-trainers are paid for 25 minutes or 50 minutes. It s cheaper for 50 minutes. I showed and was told that she must set up for a holiday party for the staff and could only do 25 minutes.(more expensive) was not asked ahead of time. We rescheduled but keep in mind that if I had not reached at least 24 hrs ahead of time that I d be charged.-low staff over holidays though we pay full price-huge communication barriers between ordering food, whether eating in room and or what food you ll actually receive. Very little consistency.-told by front desk that I would not be charged for final nutrition meeting. The invoice shows a charge. I asked several times ahead of time yet I was charged. I ve pointed out the discrepancy but the whole stay had issues. Once my meal was never delivered. There seemed to be no rhyme or reason. I d show for a meal to be told it was likely on the way yo my room. I m out of room to write.-

In actuality, I've reviewed Structure House hundreds of times, if all the times I've sung its praises were known.It is my go-to place, my safe haven, my refuge. It has been Life-changing, not only due to a 150 pound weight loss but because I've released at least that amount of negative emotions and the vicissitudes of life which kept me morbidly obese.There have been many changes since I first started coming in 1991, but the basic premise has stayed the same--good health and well being.

Structure House is an amazing place! I just spent 4 weeks there going through the Jump Start Program. Everyone there is very knowledgeable and is able to help you create a healthier lifestyle. The day is broken into 7 blocks, although some classes are offered before breakfast and after dinner. During the main 7 blocks you are either in a lecture/discussion class or in an exercise class or working out in the gym. Generally I would spend 2-4 blocks doing different types of exercise classes or working out in the gym and 3-5 blocks in classes or doing other things for my health.While there you live in very nice apartments on the campus, and eat all your meals in the dining hall. You order your meals, so you get food you like and after you get use to the sugar free salt free menu, you start to enjoy the food. There is always plenty and you never go hungry. Most days I couldn t finish everything.There are a wide range of people who go to StructureHouse. There were quite a few men and women in their early twenties all the way to people in their eighties and everything in between. There were more women than men by a 2:1 ratio. There was also a large LGBTQA+ presence there. Everyone was welcome and treated kindly. Some people were over six or seven hundred pounds while others, mostly graduates who come back regularly were closer to a healthy weight. The furniture and design is thoughtfully done so even the very heaviest person would be comfortable anywhere they sat.People came for different reasons and stayed anywhere from one week to one year.My main goal of being there was to improve my mobility. I had been on a mobility scooter for several weeks and had just transitioned to a Rollator the week before I went. Within a week, Katie K. The fitness director and the most amazing, knowledgeable trainer I have ever had the pleasure to work with, had me transition to a cane, by the next week I was using walking poles and by the time I left I was walking independently! It felt like a miracle to me. It has been a really long time since I could walk outside with out the use of mobility aids.I am implementing what I learned there at home, and home to return for a tune up within the next year. I would give Structure House 10/10 rating.
