Medical detoxification is often the first step in the recovery journey, providing a safe and supervised environment for individuals to withdraw from substances. This critical phase is managed by medical professionals to minimize discomfort and ensure safety.

Residential treatment, also known as inpatient rehab, offers the most immersive level of care for individuals struggling with moderate to severe addiction or co-occurring mental health disorders. In this setting, clients live at the treatment center and receive 24/7 supervision, medical support, and therapeutic services. The daily schedule often includes a mix of evidence-based therapies (such as CBT and DBT), psychoeducation, wellness activities, peer support groups, and individualized counseling. Residential treatment removes individuals from their everyday environment and potential triggers, allowing them to fully focus on healing. It is particularly beneficial for those who have experienced multiple relapses or require a safe and structured setting to begin recovery.

Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) represent the highest level of outpatient care and are often considered a bridge between inpatient and outpatient treatment. Clients in a PHP attend structured programming during the day—usually five to six hours per day, five days a week—and return home or to a sober living residence in the evenings. PHPs provide a multidisciplinary approach to care, including psychiatric evaluations, medication management, trauma-informed therapy, and holistic modalities such as yoga, mindfulness, and expressive arts. PHP is ideal for individuals who are medically stable but need daily therapeutic support to manage their recovery effectively.

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are designed for individuals who need more structure and support than standard outpatient care provides, but who do not require the intensity of a full-time residential program. IOP typically involves therapy sessions three to five days per week, often lasting several hours per day. These programs include comprehensive therapeutic services such as individual therapy, group counseling, family involvement, life skills training, and relapse prevention strategies. IOP is particularly effective as a step-down from residential care or for individuals who are beginning treatment but still need to maintain a degree of independence.

Outpatient programs offer a flexible and accessible approach to addiction treatment, making them an ideal choice for individuals with mild to moderate substance use disorders. These programs allow clients to live at home and maintain their work, school, or family responsibilities while attending scheduled therapy sessions throughout the week. Treatment typically includes a combination of individual counseling, group therapy, relapse prevention planning, and educational workshops on topics such as coping skills, stress management, and understanding addiction as a disease. Outpatient programs work well for those who have a strong support system, are highly motivated to recover, and do not require intensive medical or psychiatric oversight.
