Levels of care#

Detox

Detox treatment may include medications that ease withdrawal and make symptoms more manageable. These medications are one part of care, along with watching how the person responds.

Inpatient / residential

Time fills quickly with individual therapy, groups and recovery activities. The days follow a set rhythm that leaves little room for old habits in Delaware.

Partial hospitalization (PHP)

People who can set aside most weekdays often find day treatment a good match for their needs.

Outpatient

Evening and virtual sessions at many programs in Delaware help care fit into a busy life. The rest of the week stays open for work and family.

Aftercare support

People in Delaware who are leaving treatment often benefit from links to local support groups, sober homes, and other community resources.

Co-occurring disorders

When care begins, an assessment looks at both the substance use disorder and the mental health condition before any treatment starts.

Sober living

Time spent in a sober living home is open-ended, since the length of stay varies with each person. Short stays and long stretches both happen, with the timing set by each resident.
