At DeNovo Recovery, we understand that addiction doesn’t define who you are. It’s something you’re going through, not who you are at your core. We know how overwhelming it can feel to take that first step toward getting help, but you don’t have to do it alone. Located in St. Joseph, Missouri, DeNovo Recovery is here to walk beside you with compassion, respect, and personalized care. Whether you’re struggling with substance use, mental health challenges, or both, we’re here to help you heal and grow. Together, we’ll work to rediscover the life you deserve—one step at a time.
When our founder Austin committed to starting over and beginning his lifelong recovery journey, he knew he could not do it alone. With a team of professionals behind him, he was able to learn the skills to get clean and honor the commitment he made to himself.
Since then, he has been committed to helping others struggling with addiction as they start over. In 2021, DeNovo Recovery was established to recruit a team of recovery professionals to help even more people equip the tools to succeed in sobriety.

Personalized Treatment That Fits You
Your path through life is unlike any other. Through the victories and the challenges, you have personally written every line of your story. You’ve likely faced many struggles along the way that seemingly became easier to face with drugs or alcohol. When you learn to face your challenges head-on with a clear head, you can begin to bask in your victories without the cloud of addiction getting in the way.
While starting your chapters after struggling with addiction, it can be hard to find a place to start. Finding a team to help you along the way can be critical to maintaining your commitment to yourself and remaining sober. However, the help you receive should be as special as you are.
Starting over with the DeNovo Recovery team gets you access to medical professionals and recovery advocates who learn your story and your goals first. You will be involved in every step of your treatment, from developing your plan to attending your care.
Accessible, Affordable Addiction Care
The path through addiction can strain relationships and finances. Additionally, many people breaking out of the grips of addiction may have a hard time getting back on their feet, supporting themselves, and saving for the next chapter of their lives.

DeNovo Means Starting Over
Relapse is common and often part of the recovery journey. Many people relapse multiple times before achieving long-term sobriety. Recovery is a process, not a one-time event.
Opioid addiction has one of the highest relapse rates, estimated between 70–90%. However, relapse can occur with any substance, especially without ongoing support and treatment.
Inpatient rehab typically lasts 30, 60, or 90 days, depending on individual needs, the severity of addiction, and treatment goals. Longer stays often support better outcomes.
A slip (a brief return to substance use) may feel like a setback, but it doesn’t erase progress. It’s important to learn from it and continue moving forward.
Addiction often stems from a mix of genetics, trauma, mental health issues, and environmental factors. It’s not a moral failing, it’s a complex condition that requires compassionate care.
