About Our Program
Talbott Recovery’s Professionals Program has earned a national reputation for the identification and comprehensive treatment of addiction and co-occurring psychiatric disorders such as depression, anxiety, unresolved grief, personality difficulties, etc.
Over our 35+ year history, more than 6,000+ healthcare professionals from all 50 states, Canada and Europe have come to Talbott Recovery for professional evaluation and, when indicated, treatment.
In the Healthcare Professionals Program our staff works with each patient to develop an individualized treatment plan based on their clinical needs. Patients are housed in a gender-specific residential apartment, surrogate family setting. This setting heals the isolation, loneliness, and behavioral problems that every addict or alcoholic develops over the course of their disease. Group therapy is the cornerstone of change in all of our programs; we believe recovery cannot occur alone.
Meet Our Team
Each patient is assigned an attending physician upon admission to Talbott Recovery. The physicians at Talbott Recovery are Psychiatrists, Internal Medicine Specialists, or Addictionologists. All are certified by the American Board of Addiction Medicine (ABAM). The other members of a patient’s treatment team are: Psychiatrist/Internist, Case Manager, Family Counselor, Continuing Care Coordinator, Spiritual Counselor, Clinical Associate, and Nutritionist.

Our continuing care coordinator works with each patient throughout the course of treatment to:
- Serve as the referent liaison with our referral sources and the clinical treatment team
- Gather collateral information and provide written and verbal updates to referents
- Assist the patient with any advocacy work, licensure, or legal issues
- Participate in the multidisciplinary treatment team to assess patient’s progress
- Identify unresolved treatment issues to be included in discharge planning
- Plan Extended Therapeutic Leaves (ETL) for the patients prior to discharge
- Establish a clinical team to assist with patient’s long term recovery post-discharge
Aftercare and Extensive Alumni Services
Alumni services for healthcare professionals include:
Helping to find recovery resources in your area for moral and communal support
Making contact with other Talbott Recovery alumni (local or otherwise)
Locating a local alumni chapter, or assisting with starting a new chapter
We also hold local alumni gatherings every Thursday for a meeting and then a peer support group. This group also does fun activities such as playing in golf tournaments, white water rafting, bowling, holiday parties, and much more!
Return visits and giving back
Throughout the year, each year, we also hold six Return Visits for our alumni to return for two days of treatment and engagement with their peers.
This is a time to:
- Come back to Talbott Recovery to help “recharge recovery batteries”
- Meet and “catch up with” old roommates and “domemates”
- Reconnect with Talbott Recovery staff who have been important to the patient and his or her recovery
- Remember and recommit to the foundation for recovery that former patients began to build for themselves while in treatment
- Offer hope, encouragement, and support to current Talbott Recovery patients
