Mischa Barton ("The O.C.") Guest Stars

Burbank, CA (January 27, 2016) - Springtime Meadows welcomes the residents of a nearby rehab facility, on an all-new episode of "Recovery Road," airing MONDAY, FEBRUARY 15 (9:00 - 10:00 p.m. EST) on Freeform, the new name for ABC Family.

When the residents of an upscale rehab facility have to temporarily move into Springtime Meadows, Vern is elated that his favorite actress Olivia O'Brien (guest star Mischa Barton, "The O.C.") is among them. But Olivia isn't what Vern expected. Maddie is feeling left out of her high school life and decides her boyfriend Zach's birthday is the perfect opportunity to reclaim her place. But when the celebration turns into a wild party, Maddie is faced with temptation to slip back into her old ways. Flashbacks highlight Vern's addiction and Cynthia's efforts to help her best friend get clean.

The episode, titled "Parties Without Borders," was written by Holly Sorensen and directed by Joanna Kerns.

Based on the popular young adult novel by Blake Nelson, "Recovery Road" stars Jessica Sula ("Skins"), Sebastian de Souza ("The Borgias"), Sharon Leal ("Dreamgirls"), Alexis Carra ("Mixology"), Kyla Pratt ("Dr. Doolittle"), Daniel Franzese ("Mean Girls"), and David Witts ("EastEnders"). Bert V. Royal ("Easy A") and Karen DiConcetto ("Ruby & The Rockits") are executive producers, alongside Holly Sorenson ("Make It or Break It"), Danielle VonZerneck ("Left to Die"), and Craig Piligian ("Abducted: The Carlina White Story"), and Beth Miller ("Revenge of the Bridesmaids") from Pilgrim Studios.
