Recovery Treatment Facility Secured by an ISONAS Security Access Control System

Recovery∙4∙Life LLC, Located in Boise, ID is a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center with a primary focus on mental health and substance abuse treatment provided on an outpatient basis. With a goal of treating all aspects of addiction with the most advanced, industry leading and innovative treatment, Recovery∙4∙Life creates treatment plans for individuals tailored to the person’s specific needs. Patients come to Recovery∙4∙Life from a variety of reasons from court ordered treatment, to requiring intensive outpatient treatment, or a transitional level of care from an inpatient, residential or detox program. Therapy can be provided individually or in a group setting, and in many cases a patient’s family members are involved in the therapy process.

When the first Recovery∙4∙Life facility was opened over three years ago, management knew that they needed the ability to secure a variety of locations within the center. They contacted Idaho Business Technology for assistance in deciding how to meet their physical security requirements. According to Brent Havens, President of Idaho Business Technology, “The requirements that the client laid out for the system were interesting in that whatever system we ultimately selected needed to have the capabilities to fulfill multiple different tasks, and it had to be cost efficient. We chose the ISONAS system as it met all of our requirements.”

The Recovery∙4∙Life treatment center employs therapists as well as administrative personnel. For counseling sessions, therapists typically greet their clients in the reception area and after confirming that the clients have signed in enter the therapy room area through a door secured with an ISONAS PowerNet reader-controller . In this way the company can track who entered the inner rooms of the facility and when. Once in the interior of the therapy center, entry to two other restricted areas is only permitted to individuals with specific access permission.

These two restricted areas are the server room which houses the Company’s IT infrastructure equipment and the records room.

The records room contains confidential records about the patients and their treatment regimens, and as such must be have controlled access for legal and HIPPA requirement reasons.

The server room not only has the PoE (Power over Ethernet) routers and server equipment that provide the computing and networking backbone for the access control system; but it also houses the equipment on which the entire Recovery∙4∙Life information technology infrastructure runs. “In our business we manage the technical infrastructure needs for over 100 clients in the southern Idaho area”, says Idaho Business Technology’s Havens. “We were able to meet all of our customer’s access control requirements, as well as providing the ability to expand in the future if needed at an extremely low cost level. It was very useful to be able to utilize existing IT infrastructure resources when we added the access control system. We also were able to easily move the system 6 months ago to a new, larger treatment facility due to the use of the no-control-panel technology of the ISONAS system.“

Expandability, flexibility, functional superiority, ease of management and low cost— all accomplished with the ISONAS PowerNet system.
