About Us
Lionrock Recovery was established in 2010 to provide Substance Use Disorder (SUD)-specific, outpatient, telehealth treatment for adults struggling with alcohol and/or drug addiction. Based in Northern California, our unique services employ the use of a HIPAA-compliant, tele-counseling platform that provides our clients with an intensive outpatient/outpatient (IOP/OP) treatment program, offered entirely online. While many companies have switched to a telehealth model in response to COVID-19, we’ve been perfecting ours for over ten years! We are Joint Commission accredited and supply a better value than residential treatment; at Lionrock, we’re not merely “in the treatment business”—we’re in the business of recovery.
