Outpatient & Flexible Care

Frequently Asked Questions

Treatment is structured as a "continuum," ranging from high-intensity to low-intensity. It typically starts with Medical Detox (stabilization), moves to Inpatient/Residential (24/7 immersion), and then steps down to Outpatient options like PHP (all-day treatment) or IOP (part-time treatment). The goal is to match you with the "least restrictive" environment that still ensures your safety and progress.

Inpatient care is best if your home environment is unsupportive, you have a high risk of relapse, or you need 24/7 medical/clinical monitoring. Outpatient care is suitable if you have a stable living situation, a strong support system, and responsibilities (like a job or family) that you cannot leave. Many people use Outpatient as a "step-down" after completing an Inpatient stay.
Inpatient vs outpatient treatment

Both are outpatient levels of care, but they differ in intensity. A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is often called "day treatment," requiring 5–6 hours of therapy, 5–7 days a week. An Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is more flexible, typically involving 3 hours of therapy, 3–5 days a week. PHP is a full-time commitment, while IOP allows you to maintain a work or school schedule.
