It’s Hard to Keep Going™ When You Don’t Know Where to Start

Release Recovery provides safe, confidential, expert care
for substance use and mental health challenges.

Who We Are

Built by People Who’ve Lived It

Release is a nationally recognized behavioral healthcare community offering safe, private, and confidential support for substance use and mental health across New York and Texas. Founded by Zac Clark, a leader with lived experience in long-term recovery, the organization is committed to breaking the stigma surrounding addiction and mental health nationwide.

Since our start in 2017, our outcomes speak for themselves. We’ve witnessed hundreds of stories of recovery. We know this work changes lives, not just for the people we treat but the communities that surround them. Our team is a strong mix of licensed clinicians, experienced operators and individuals who have gone through their own struggles and come out on the other side.

We combine clinical expertise with real-world understanding, strong community, and an environment built for sustainable change. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself or someone you love, you’ll find a team that listens, understands, and shows up.

  • Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

    Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) provides intensive, structured treatment, creating a balanced and flexible environment for those on their path to recovery. This program is ideal for clients who need more support than outpatient services can offer, but do not require 24/7 residential care.

  • Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

    Our Intensive Outpatient Program provides structured clinical care in a flexible format. The 12-week curriculum covers emotional regulation, self-awareness, relapse prevention, boundaries, and other essential tools for recovery and daily life.

  • Outpatient Program (OP)

    Our outpatient program is a step down from IOP. It includes fewer hours but maintains key weekly touchpoints like individual therapy, group therapy, medication management, and family support. This option is best for clients who are ready for more independence while staying connected to care.
