Levels of Substance Abuse Treatment

Addiction needs vary by person and situation. The following levels of treatment are available to meet these various needs.

Alcohol and Drug Detoxification

Before beginning a formal inpatient or outpatient program, detox is often necessary. This is the process of safely and comfortably removing drugs or alcohol from your system. Detox occurs in a supervised setting, such as a hospital or inpatient rehab center.

Inpatient Drug and Alcohol Rehab

Residential or inpatient treatment provides 24/7 supervised care while you live at the rehab facility. A combination of treatment interventions is offered, including individual and group therapy, nutritional counseling, experiential therapies, and medication.

Partial hospitalization programs (PHPs)

PHPs allow you to live at home while attending treatment at a hospital. You may receive many of the same treatment services offered through inpatient care, but you can return home during non-treatment hours.

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs)

IOPs are a step down from PHPs. With this program, you attend a few hours of counseling over several days each week while spending the rest of your time at work, school, or fulfilling other obligations.

Standard Outpatient

As the least intensive treatment option, standard outpatient care involves just one to two hours of treatment per week. This level is appropriate for highly motivated people with a strong support system.

Relapse Prevention

Relapse prevention, also referred to as aftercare, begins when you complete a rehab program. It involves ongoing support to encourage continuing sobriety. Supports typically include 12-step groups, therapy, sober living homes, or other accountability.
