understand levels of care
Selecting the right level of care is just as important as choosing an insurance-friendly provider. Below is an overview of treatment intensities you may encounter.
inpatient and residential programs
Inpatient and residential care provide 24/7 medical supervision, structured therapy schedules and a supportive recovery environment. You’ll engage in:
- Medical detoxification and stabilization
- Daily individual and group therapy
- Skills training for coping and relapse prevention
- Holistic activities like yoga, meditation and fitness
This level is ideal if you need round-the-clock care or if outpatient recommendations haven’t yielded results.
partial hospitalization program
A PHP offers a daytime treatment schedule—usually 4 to 6 hours per day, 5 days a week—while you return home or to a sober living environment in the evenings. Key components include:
- Group therapy sessions
- Individual counseling
- Psychiatric medication management
- Case coordination and family involvement
PHPs bridge the gap between inpatient stays and outpatient care, helping you reinforce coping strategies in a less restrictive setting.
intensive outpatient program
An IOP provides 9 to 12 hours of treatment weekly, typically in the evenings or on weekends. You’ll receive:
- Group therapy focused on relapse prevention
- Skill-building workshops
- One-on-one counseling sessions
- Access to MAT and psychiatry
IOP is well suited for those with stable living conditions who still require significant support and accountability.
dual diagnosis services and medication-assisted treatment
If you’re managing both a substance use disorder and a mental health condition, dual diagnosis care integrates treatment for both. Expect:
- Coordinated psychiatric and addiction therapy
- Evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy
- Medication-assisted treatment (buprenorphine, naltrexone or methadone)
- Trauma-informed and culturally sensitive practices
This comprehensive model reduces relapse risk by addressing the root causes of co-occurring disorders.
| Level of care | Description | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
| Inpatient residential | 24/7 medical and therapeutic support | 7–30+ days |
| Partial hospitalization (PHP) | Daytime structured program with evenings free | 2–6 weeks |
| Intensive outpatient (IOP) | 9–12 hours per week of group and individual counseling | 4–12 weeks |
| Dual diagnosis | Integrated treatment for co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders | Varies by individual needs |
