Springtime Meadows welcomes the residents of a nearby rehab facility, on an all-new episode of Recovery Road, airing Monday February 15 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Freeform. General Hospital actor Jon Lindstrom guest stars. Lindstrom, who played psychiatrist Dr. Kevin Collins on the daytime soap, tweeted about his appearance earlier today. "2nite #RecoveryRoad Yes, I'm a shrink, yes it's an 'ABC' show, but it's a 'departure' for me :),” he wrote.

In the episode, titled "Parties Without Borders," 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.

Watch a sneak peek below.
