Detox And Residential Care
Detox And Residential Care
Wilmington Treatment Center provides medically monitored detox from alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, and more. They use medication-assisted treatment (MAT) as needed and offer auricular acupuncture to relieve withdrawal symptoms. Wilmington Treatment Center’s residential treatment provides 24/7 care and a structured environment to begin recovery. Clients can enjoy on and off-site recreation, including beach outings, ice skating, and water activities.
Day Treatment And IOP
Day Treatment And IOP
Clients can continue to live on-site in Wilmington Treatment Center’s day treatment program. Day treatment offers a less intensive, more independent stage of recovery. Clients can then transition into IOP, where they’ll live at home and come to treatment 4 days a week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday). Each day includes 3 hours of treatment. On Wednesdays, Wilmington Treatment Center hosts aftercare group therapy and a women-only group.
