DreamLife Recovery

Evidence-Based Care With Proven Results

At DreamLife Recovery, recovery is defined by progress you can measure. Throughout treatment, patients complete standardized, clinically validated assessments that allow our team to continuously evaluate improvement—not just at discharge, but during care when it matters most.

In 2025, more than 500 patients participated in ongoing outcomes measurement, providing a comprehensive and transparent view into treatment effectiveness across our programs.

%
Decrease in Stress Symptoms

These outcomes are based on well-established clinical tools, including PHQ-9, GAD-7, Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and Cravings Scales. Improvements of this magnitude during treatment reflect both the quality of clinical programming and sustained patient engagement.


Whole-Person Recovery: Quality of Life Improvements

Recovery extends beyond symptom reduction. DreamLife tracks quality of life through weekly patient-reported measures across six core life domains: family, relationships, recreation, mental health, physical health, and employment.

Patients reported substantial improvements, including:

Improvement in Recreation
Improvement in Mental Health
Improvement in Employment
Improvement in Physical
Health

These gains reflect progress toward stability, purpose, and long-term recovery—not just short-term clinical change.


Patient Experience Matters

Patient satisfaction is a critical indicator of care quality and long-term engagement. DreamLife patients rated their overall treatment experience an average of 4.2 out of 5, with particularly strong scores for treatment counselors and staff kindness.

A supportive environment, consistent clinical care, and respectful staff interactions play a key role in helping patients remain engaged and succeed in treatment.
