Executive Summary: Clinical Outcomes & Organization Performance
The 2025 reporting year reflects Centered Recovery’ continued commitment to delivering evidence-based behavioral healthcare through measurement-based care, clinical accountability, and continuous quality improvement. Throughout the year, standardized outcome measures and treatment engagement data were used to evaluate client progress, guide individualized treatment planning, and assess organizational performance.
Treatment engagement remained a significant organizational strength. During the reporting period, 78.95% of clients completed their recommended course of treatment, substantially exceeding published outpatient treatment completion rates, which generally range from 25% to 50%. This represents approximately 3 times the completion rates commonly reported in outpatient substance use treatment literature. Additionally, only 6.60% of clients were discharged Against Medical Advice (AMA), comparing favorably with published behavioral health studies reporting AMA discharge rates between 10% and 30%.
Standardized clinical outcome measures demonstrated substantial improvements in emotional health. Clients completing the DASS-21 experienced an average 56.6% reduction in depressive symptoms, 60.8% reduction in anxiety symptoms, and 62.2% reduction in stress symptoms from admission to their most recent assessment. Approximately 80% of clients demonstrated improvement in depression and anxiety, while nearly 90% improved in stress-related symptoms.
Recovery-focused assessments also demonstrated meaningful progress. Brief Addiction Monitor–Revised (BAM-R) scores showed a 72% reduction in relapse risk factors, 85% reduction in cravings, 57% reduction in mood-related concerns, and 13% reduction in sleep-related problems, while clients reported a 77% increase in recovery satisfaction.
Although no nationally accepted benchmarks exist for standardized behavioral health symptom measures such as the DASS-21 or BAM-R, the magnitude and consistency of improvement observed across these validated instruments reflect clinically meaningful gains in psychological functioning and recovery. Together, these findings demonstrate that clients not only remained engaged in treatment but also experienced measurable improvements across multiple domains of behavioral health.
These outcomes reinforce Centered Recovery’ commitment to evidence-based practice, individualized care, and continuous quality improvement while providing objective evidence of treatment effectiveness.

Our Measurement-Based Care Model
Each client completes standardized assessments beginning at admission and continuing at routine intervals throughout treatment, typically every 30 days. Assessment results become part of the clinical record and are reviewed alongside therapist observations, treatment goals, and client feedback during treatment planning.
Routine assessment allows our clinicians to evaluate progress over time rather than relying on isolated clinical snapshots. Repeated measurement also helps identify individuals who may benefit from additional intervention, medication consultation, or adjustments to their individualized treatment plan.
2026 Priorities
Expand Longitudinal Outcome Reporting
Continue strengthening outcome collection to better evaluate client progress across the continuum of care and support year-over-year comparisons.
Enhance Measurement-Based Care
Further integrate standardized assessments into routine clinical practice to support individualized treatment planning and improve responsiveness to client needs.
Strengthen Recovery Monitoring
Expand evaluation of recovery-related indicators that extend beyond symptom reduction to include protective factors associated with long-term recovery.
Support Clinical Excellence
Continue providing education, supervision, and evidence-based resources that promote high-quality, client-centered care.
Advance Organizational Transparency
Maintain annual outcome reporting as a cornerstone of accountability and continuous quality improvement. By remaining committed to data-informed practice and ongoing evaluation, Centered aims to continually strengthen the quality of care delivered while improving outcomes for every individual and family served.
Conclusion
Recovery is not measured by a single score, assessment, or discharge status. It is reflected in the gradual development of hope, resilience, healthier relationships, emotional stability, and the confidence to build a life beyond substance use. The outcomes presented throughout this report represent more than organizational metrics—they represent individuals who chose recovery, families working toward healing, and clinicians committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care.
Throughout 2025, Centered Recovery demonstrated strong treatment engagement, maintained favorable discharge outcomes, and continued expanding the integration of measurement-based care into everyday clinical practice. These efforts reflect an organizational commitment to transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement. As the organization continues to grow, so too will its commitment to evaluating outcomes, refining clinical services, and advancing the quality of behavioral healthcare delivered to every client entrusted to its care.
Centered Recovery looks forward to building upon these efforts in the years ahead while remaining steadfast in its mission to provide individualized, evidence-based treatment that supports lasting recovery.
