(January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025)

Wellness Recovery (WR) concluded its sixth full calendar year of operation in 2025, continuing its
mission to provide evidence-based care to individuals with substance use disorders. Grounded in the
understanding of addiction as a brain-based condition requiring both medical and therapeutic
intervention, WR remains committed to increasing access to care for underserved and non-dominant
populations. Interdisciplinary staff, including counselors, nurses, care managers, certified recovery
specialists, and medical providers, delivered 24/7 services in alignment with standards set by the
American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM). In partnership with Tracy Counseling Center, WR
continued to offer no-cost inpatient and outpatient services to first responders, recognizing the elevated
risk associated with chronic occupational stress and trauma exposure.
Throughout 2025, WR continued to build upon the operational and clinical advancements established in
the prior year. Under the leadership of Program Director and COO Tyler Tracy and Clinical Director
Alexandra Leopold, the program maintained updated policies, procedures, and treatment protocols
aligned with current regulatory expectations and emerging best practices. Efforts remained focused on
improving care quality, strengthening staff training, and enhancing coordination across systems. WR
also sustained and expanded key community partnerships, including ongoing collaboration with Single
County Authorities (SCAs), to support access to services and continuity of care. In addition, WR
launched a new website, implemented an electronic intake system, and introduced an online application
process, significantly improving accessibility to treatment by streamlining referrals, reducing barriers to
entry, and increasing efficiency in the admissions process.
Clinical programming remained rooted in an integrated model combining medical management with
individualized therapeutic intervention. Under the direction of Medical Director and Psychiatrist Dr.
Sudhir Rao, WR’s medical team provided psychiatric care, withdrawal management, and support for co-
occurring conditions. Treatment services included individual and group therapy, peer support, life skills
development, and psychoeducation. Emphasis was also placed on discharge planning and continuity of
care through coordinated transitions to outpatient providers and community-based supports.
WR staff continued to engage in ongoing professional development to support high-quality service
delivery. Core trainings included CPR/First Aid, Naloxone administration, confidentiality, infectious
disease control, motivational interviewing, crisis intervention, and harm reduction. Additional training
areas included medication-assisted treatment (MAT), trauma-informed care, co-occurring disorders,
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), health disparities in SUD treatment, and culturally responsive
practices. Continued investment in Certified Recovery Specialist (CRS) training further strengthened
WR’s peer support model.
In 2025, WR served a comparable number of individuals relative to the prior year, with a slight, non-
significant decrease in total admissions. Notably, outcome indicators demonstrated meaningful
improvement, including a significant increase in program completion rates as well as a longer average

length of stay and total days in treatment. These trends reflect increased patient engagement, retention,
and stability throughout the course of care. Patients served ranged broadly in age and background,
reflecting the diverse needs of the surrounding communities. Additional demographic and clinical data
are presented in the following section of this report. WR remains committed to providing accessible,
high-quality care and to continuing to strengthen treatment outcomes in the year ahead.

Annual Review of Program Philosophy

I. Who We Are & Our Mission
At Wellness Recovery (WR), we are dedicated to providing comprehensive, person-centered treatment
for individuals aged 18 and older experiencing substance use disorders. Our integrated approach
combines evidence-based medical treatment, psychotherapy, peer support, and wellness-based therapies
to foster long-term recovery and overall well-being. We believe that recovery is more than just
abstinence—it’s about rebuilding lives through education, empowerment, and healing. Our
multidisciplinary team develops individualized treatment plans that address the medical, psychological,
and social aspects of addiction. Patients engage in individual and group therapy, psychoeducational
classes, life skills training, and structured support systems, covering key topics such as nutrition, stress
management, relapse prevention, and goal setting.
Above all, we foster a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment that upholds our Core Values:
● Respect – Treating every individual with dignity and honoring their unique journey.
● Empathy – Providing compassionate, nonjudgmental support.
● Integrity – Upholding honesty, ethics, and accountability in all aspects of care.
● Accountability – Taking responsibility for actions and fostering a culture of trust.
● Community – Encouraging connection, collaboration, and mutual support.

Our mission is clear: to provide accessible, high-quality addiction treatment that not only helps
individuals achieve sobriety but also empowers them to build fulfilling, self-sustaining lives. Through
compassionate care, innovation, and a commitment to excellence, we are transforming lives and
strengthening communities.
II. Our Treatment Approach
At WR, we provide a comprehensive and individualized approach to addiction treatment, integrating
evidence-based practices with medical care. Our services include individual counseling, which offers a
safe space to process trauma and build a foundation for recovery, and group counseling, where
participants can connect with peers, develop social coping skills, and explore the impact of addiction on
their lives. Family integration sessions focus on strengthening support systems and creating
collaborative discharge plans while our medical treatment team addresses withdrawal symptoms and
overall mental health needs. In addition, mental health counseling ensures that participants explore the
critical connection between mental health and substance use disorders. WR also offers recreational
therapy to promote physical, social, and emotional well-being through activities like art, music, and
movement therapy. Certified recovery and peer support specialists provide guidance and encouragement
based on their personal recovery journeys, fostering hope and resilience. Our case management services
help patients navigate treatment and connect with community resources to support their transition back
into everyday life. Complementing these services are diverse group offerings, such as morning
meditation, psychoeducation, health education, and life skills training, which empower participants to
build healthy habits and sustain long-term recovery.
III. Our Commitment to Confidentiality and Inclusivity

WR is dedicated to upholding the highest standards of privacy and confidentiality in accordance with
state and federal regulations. Our policies are designed to protect patient information and ensure that all
individuals feel safe seeking treatment. We are committed to providing an inclusive, non-discriminatory
environment where everyone is welcome, regardless of insurance status, race, ethnicity, gender identity,
sexual orientation, spiritual beliefs, or socioeconomic background. At WR, we believe that
compassionate, high-quality care should be accessible to all who seek recovery.
IV. Our Integrated Service Model
At WR, we utilize a comprehensive Integrated Service Model designed to address the diverse and
complex needs of individuals in recovery. Our approach seamlessly combines medical care, evidence-
based counseling, wellness-based therapies, and long-term support, ensuring that each patient receives
personalized, continuous care throughout their recovery journey. We offer two core programs:
Residential Rehabilitation and Withdrawal Management (Detox Services). Through a structured yet
flexible framework, our integrated model meets individuals where they are in their recovery process,
providing the medical, psychological, and social support needed for lasting success.

environment where individuals can focus on recovery free from outside distractions. The following
services, among others, are offered:

occurring mental health challenges.

support, and develop social coping skills.

through structured family sessions.

to enhance emotional regulation.

and financial literacy to support long-term independence.
Withdrawal Management & Short-Term Detoxification: For individuals requiring medical supervision
during the withdrawal process, our detox program ensures a safe and supportive transition into
treatment. Typical services include:
● 24/7 Medical Supervision – Around-the-clock monitoring by a medical team to ensure safety and
comfort during withdrawal.
● Medication-Assisted Support – Where appropriate, medications are provided to ease withdrawal
symptoms and support stabilization.
● Individual & Group Counseling – Psychoeducation and emotional support to prepare individuals
for continued treatment.
● Wellness-Based Therapies – Mindfulness, relaxation techniques, and physical movement to
promote overall well-being.
WR’s Integrated Service Model ensures that every individual receives comprehensive, person-centered
care designed to facilitate long-term recovery and sustained wellness. Our approach recognizes the

biopsychosocial nature of addiction, addressing medical, psychological, social, and emotional needs
through a multidisciplinary treatment framework.
V. Patient Satisfaction
Patient satisfaction remained a cornerstone of our operations in 2025. Feedback was collected through
anonymous online and physical questionnaires with general satisfaction rated high, specifically
highlighting individualized care and extra effort demonstrated by staff, reinforcing WR’s core values of
empathy and non-judgmental care.

Important Notations and Future Prospects

In 2025, Wellness Recovery (WR) made measurable progress toward previously identified strategic
priorities, with a focus on expanding access, improving care coordination, and strengthening community
engagement. WR successfully launched a new website and implemented an electronic intake and online
application system, significantly improving accessibility to services and streamlining the admissions and
referral process for both patients and providers.
WR also continued to expand its presence and capacity through strengthened partnerships and ongoing
efforts to increase contractual relationships with Single County Authorities (SCAs), particularly in
Westmoreland and Armstrong counties. These efforts have supported broader regional access to
treatment and improved coordination of care across systems. In parallel, WR increased investment in

workforce development, including expanded opportunities for staff to obtain Certified Recovery
Specialist (CRS) credentials, further integrating peer support into the treatment model.
Community engagement efforts were also expanded, with increased participation in outreach events and
collaboration with local organizations to enhance visibility, reduce stigma, and connect individuals to
care. WR has also begun to establish a more consistent digital presence to support outreach and
education efforts.
Looking ahead, WR is actively exploring opportunities for programmatic and physical expansion to
meet growing community needs. This includes evaluating the feasibility of expanding facility capacity
as well as developing recovery housing options to support individuals transitioning from inpatient
treatment to more independent living environments. These initiatives are intended to improve continuity
of care, promote long-term stability, and reduce relapse risk.
WR remains committed to thoughtful, sustainable growth, with continued emphasis on improving
treatment outcomes, increasing accessibility, and responding to the evolving needs of the communities it
serves.
