Residential and inpatient care
Residential programs provide round-the-clock supervision in a safe, home-like environment. You’ll engage in individual counseling, group therapy, family sessions and holistic activities such as yoga or meditation. Aetna plans usually cover medically supervised detoxification prior to admission, ensuring you begin your recovery in a stabilized state.
Partial hospitalization program
If you require intensive support but not 24-hour supervision, a PHP can be a powerful option. You’ll attend therapy sessions during the day and return home each evening. This level of care often serves as a bridge between inpatient and outpatient services, helping you build coping skills and relapse prevention strategies.
Intensive outpatient program
An IOP offers structured therapy multiple times per week, allowing you to maintain work or school obligations. You’ll participate in both individual and group counseling, learning to manage triggers and develop healthy habits while applying skills in your daily life.
Outpatient and telehealth options
Standard outpatient care may include weekly therapy sessions, medication management and alumni support groups. Telehealth expands access, letting you connect with licensed clinicians from home. This flexibility makes it easier to stay engaged in treatment, especially if you live in a rural area or have limited transportation.
