Our team is here to answer your questions about our Reprieve programs.

WHY CHOOSE A REPRIEVE?

A spiritually sound environment where recovery is positive, creative, caring, and fun.​
The Reprieve is a supportive community for those seeking recovery – a place for men and women to show up authentically, rediscover their spirituality, return to who they are, and encourage others on their own unique recovery journeys.

An alternative to traditional alcohol and drug rehab programs, the Reprieve is designed for those who have struggled to maintain long-term sobriety.

TrueLink Accounts:
Managing personal spending while in a Reprieve program

Both of our Reprieve programs use the TrueLink Visa Card for resident purchases of personal items, groceries, or occasional recreational activity costs. TrueLink cards also help our Program Specialists monitor residents’ spending habits, limit purchases to approved items, and teach responsible money management. Cards can be locked with the click of a button if an issue occurs, such as a resident leaving campus without permission, unsanctioned purchases, or relapse.

Family Contact & Visitation

Our men’s and women’s programs host family visitation each Sunday. Residents are allowed to leave the campus during the day with immediate family members with prior approval from their specialist. In later phases of our programs, residents earn 24-96 hour passes for home visits or to travel with family.

“The Reprieve wasn’t a ‘hospital-like’ environment. It was a home, a real home. Once I adapted to the program, I never wanted to leave!”

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

We are committed to helping women and men find lifelong recovery, which is why the Reprieve offers some of the most affordable long-term addiction rehabilitative services available. Our Business Managers are available to work with you and create a plan to ensure you get the help you need. Insurance plans may cover some services offered at A Reprieve for Women.

What should I bring with me to the Reprieve?

A list of what you can and cannot bring to each facility can be found on our Admissions page (above). Our Admissions team can also provide a detailed packing list for each phase of our programs.

What kind of therapy will I receive?

During a stay at the Reprieves, you will receive group, recreational, and individual therapy, as well as intensive 12-step programming and educational lectures.

Do you help those with co-occurring mental disorders, such as depression/anxiety/bipolar?

We understand many patients suffering from chemical dependency may also have other mental health disorders or concerns. While substance use disorder must be your primary diagnosis, we partner with a psychiatrist who treats co-occurring mental disorders.

How long are the programs at the Reprieves?

Our Reprieve programs are long-term, ranging from six months to one year. The longer length of our program and stay at our facilities allows you to truly address the root of your addiction and find lifelong sobriety.

Where are your facilities located?

Our men’s facility is located in Opelika, AL, near Auburn University. Our women’s program is located in Tuscaloosa, AL, near the University of Alabama.

Will I be able to have visitors?

Your family will be invited to attend our Family Program, held every three months. This educational session includes in-depth information about the treatment process, managing their negative behaviors, facility tours, and of course, time with you. Our facilities also host family visitation each Sunday. You can speak to our specialists to learn more about restrictions and offsite permissions.

What kind of meals/food are served?

In the first phase of our men’s long-term addiction recovery program, you will be offered three meals daily with various options to fit your needs. Any special dietary concerns will be addressed upon admission. As you progress to the later phases, you will be allowed to purchase and cook your own food.

Throughout your stay at our women’s long-term addiction recovery program, you will be served three meals daily by a personal chef. Meals will be diverse to fit the taste and needs of each individual, and all dietary concerns will be addressed as needed. You will also have the option to eat something else if one of the meals does not suit you.

How can I handle my court dates and probation while at the Reprieves?

We will send documentation to attorneys, courts, and probation officers with written releases of information from the resident. The resident will need to provide the correct contact information. Suppose you have a court date while you are in the program and cannot get it rescheduled. In that case, you will have to provide transportation to the court if it is outside the area of our campuses.
Is a regular drug rehab program not working for your loved one? Long-term treatment may be the solution. The Reprieves offer an alternative to typical addiction rehab programs. Call today to learn more.
