Levels of Care for Rehabs in Illinois

Several levels of addiction treatment are available to meet various care and recovery needs.

Residential or Inpatient

Residential or inpatient treatment is the most intensive treatment setting, involving 24/7 care. Medication, individual and family therapy, and recreational therapy are common forms of treatment at this level.

Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHPs)

PHPs often involve some of the same treatment methods used in inpatient care. The difference is, you only stay at the facility during treatment times, then return home.

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs)

IOPs provide several hours of treatment over several days per week. Treatments often include individual and group therapy. This type of program is a step down from partial hospitalization, and many people transition to IOPs after completing a residential or PHP program.

Standard Outpatient

Standard outpatient programs are often appropriate for individuals who have mild additions and strong support systems. This level of care requires a couple hours of care per week, typically with a therapist in their office or at an outpatient clinic.

Aftercare

Once inpatient or outpatient treatment is completed, aftercare provides ongoing support, such as 12-step meetings, transitional housing, or therapy. It is an important component of relapse prevention.
