About Momentum Recovery - The Creek

Momentum Recovery - The Creek provides treatment for substance use disorders and mental health challenges for young men ages 18 to 30. The Creek’s male-only programming integrates clinical care with practical life-skills development through a whole-person, holistic approach. With a tailored four-stage long-term treatment model, residents receive a structured combination of therapies, education, and hands-on activities designed to help them build the confidence and preparation needed to live drug- and alcohol-free.

Across every stage of care, participants work with personalized case management and take part in ongoing involvement with the surrounding recovery community. The program also includes family-focused programming, adventure-based therapy, academic and educational assistance, training in money management and financial literacy, vocational support, nutritional guidance, and recreational opportunities. In the Wilmington area, the young adult recovery community is highly engaged, with many chances for encouragement, connection, shared activities, and growth. The Creek emphasizes building healthy relationships throughout the recovery journey.

The Creek applies a dual-diagnosis approach, treating addiction alongside the mental health issues that often underlie it. Treatment includes evidence-based and experiential methods such as eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), recreational therapy, yoga, and other therapeutic modalities. Clinicians meet one-on-one with each client to identify trauma and other co-occurring concerns and support healing. Family members are also included in treatment to promote recovery for the entire family system.

Momentum Recovery - The Creek focuses on helping clients set meaningful goals and work toward them in a therapeutic, adventurous environment. The progression begins with residential care, transitions to an outpatient phase, and then extends support so clients can continue practicing skills gained during residential treatment. The sober living component offers structure, community, and stability during early recovery. In the final stage, clients move into their own housing while still meeting individually with therapists, completing regular drug testing, and staying actively connected to Wilmington’s recovery resources. This phase supports continued use of learned tools while maintaining access to the clinical expertise and support available through The Creek and the community.
