Alpha Recovery is a supportive, structured living environment for addicts who are new in their recovery. Clients are subject to nightly curfews, random urine screens, and are required to attend Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous meetings on a regular basis, in addition to weekly groups and individual sessions at Alpha Recovery. Clients are required to work, unless there is a physical or mental disability, which prevents them from doing so.

The minimum length of stay at Alpha Recovery is 12 months followed by six month aftercare program. The length of time for completion of the program is determined by the clients' participation and progress in the program.
