We Get You

You're reading this because you're looking for help for your child. That's a hard place to be, and it's exactly why Horizon Recovery exists.

Maybe you've tried other programs. Maybe they discharged your teen before real progress, or you watched them bounce from one level of care to another with no clear plan. You were promised results before. You don't need more promises. You want proof.

So we measure what actually changes: emotional symptoms, depression, anxiety, and who needs to come back. And we show you the number of young people behind every figure. Among teens who arrived clinically elevated, about 32% reached meaningful improvement on standard depression and anxiety screeners (PHQ-9/GAD-7), defined as at least a 5-point PHQ-9 drop or a 4-point GAD-7 drop (N = 103).

Founded by someone who runs toward the fire
Horizon Recovery was founded in 2022 by Brian Carlisle, who has spent his entire career stepping into other people's worst days.

Brian has served as a medic with Phoenix Fire for 15 years and as a registered nurse for 11, including 5 years in the ER. He now practices as a board-certified family nurse practitioner.

He has stood in hundreds of living rooms while families watched their lives literally burn. After years of seeing teens cycle through hospitals and programs with no clear plan, he built Horizon to be the place he wished he could send those families: medically competent, emotionally warm, and obsessive about communication and measurement.

Today, Horizon Recovery has 120 staff members across 6 locations, with over 100 years of combined experience standing ready to support your family.

One continuous team, one connected record

Teens shouldn't have to start over every time their level of care changes. At Horizon, your child moves through one connected continuum — residential, PHP, IOP, outpatient — with the same core team, one clinical record, and no re-intakes at every step.
  • No restarting stories at each level.
  • No parents acting as project managers between programs.
  • The next step is arranged before your child takes it.
Parents get regular, scheduled updates from a named care coordinator — not "call if you need us."

First brain, then behavior

For some teens, we add the Neuro Program: a 19-channel qEEG brain map and neurofeedback protocol. In our Director of Neuropsychology's clinical experience, more than 90% of adolescents entering treatment are carrying at least one misdiagnosis and are medicated for it; our Neuro Program re-examines those labels against your child's own data instead of just copying the chart.

We measure brain function at the start and again at the end, and your family keeps both maps. That data belongs to you and is useful to any future provider.
  • Built on Dr. Amy Serin's protocols
  • Integrated into residential treatment
  • Before-and-after data your family keeps
40% vs 14%
Among residential clients in our Neuro Program, about 40% reached clinically significant improvement on depression and anxiety measures, versus 14% of those who didn't take part — even though the Neuro group arrived with higher symptom scores (N = 214 vs 117).
