Mission

At 49Alpha Behavior Solutions, our mission is to empower young lives to break free from the grip of addiction and reclaim their futures with courage, clarity, and hope. We provide a safe, compassionate, and transformative environment where youth are guided through recovery with evidence-based care, emotional support, and a strong sense of community. Through personalized treatment, education, and long-term mentorship, we help each individual rediscover their purpose, rebuild their strength, and rise into a life of lasting freedom and fulfillment.

Who We Are

Drug and Alcohol Intervention

Founded by a dedicated addiction recovery specialist with certifications in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Interventions for Substance Use (CBI-SUA), 49Alpha is driven by an unwavering passion to help youth overcome drug and alcohol addiction. What sets us apart is our holistic and genuine approach—we work as hard as you do to help you become the best version of yourself. Unlike broader treatment programs, we focus exclusively on youth, offering personalized care, long-term mentorship, and a vibrant community where recovery is about rediscovering joy through activities like hiking, bowling, swimming, and creative learning.

Our team of therapists, mentors, and support staff brings creativity, compassion, and expertise to create a transformative recovery experience, helping youth and families build a brighter, sober future together.
