Please understand that Papilion House IRC is a program for transformation. Just as the butterfly makes complete transformation in it’s life cycle, so do we as people in recovery. The Papilion House IRC Program is not a substitute for treatment, detox, medical or psychotherapy treatment. We do not provide any counseling or in-patient service of any kind.
