Inpatient rehab provides the highest level of structured support in a safe, residential environment. You’ll live at the treatment facility for 30-90 days while receiving intensive therapy, medical care, and peer support.
Typically 30, 60, or 90 days depending on individual needs and insurance coverage.
Outpatient treatment allows you to live at home while attending therapy sessions several times per week. This option works well for those with stable living situations, strong support systems, and mild to moderate addiction.
Standard Outpatient (OP): 1-2 sessions per week, 1-2 hours each
Intensive Outpatient (IOP): 3-5 days per week, 3+ hours per day
Partial Hospitalization (PHP): 5-7 days per week, 4-6 hours per day
Medical detox is the first step in recovery, helping your body safely eliminate substances while managing withdrawal symptoms. 24/7 medical supervision ensures your safety and comfort during this critical phase.
For Alcohol: Benzodiazepines to prevent seizures
For Opioids: Buprenorphine, methadone, or clonidine
For Comfort: Anti-nausea, sleep aids, vitamins
Typically 3-7 days depending on substance and severity.
Important: Detox alone is not treatment. It must be followed by therapy and ongoing support for lasting recovery.
Dual diagnosis (co-occurring disorders) treatment addresses both addiction and mental health conditions simultaneously. This integrated approach treats the whole person for better, longer-lasting outcomes.
Programs use evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed care to address root causes of both addiction and mental health issues.
MAT combines FDA-approved medications with behavioral therapy to treat opioid and alcohol addiction. This evidence-based approach reduces cravings, prevents relapse, and improves treatment retention.
Buprenorphine (Suboxone): Reduces cravings and withdrawal
Methadone: Long-acting opioid replacement
Naltrexone (Vivitrol): Blocks opioid effects
Naltrexone: Reduces alcohol cravings
Acamprosate: Helps maintain abstinence
Disulfiram (Antabuse): Causes unpleasant reaction to alcohol
Evidence: Research shows MAT reduces overdose deaths by 50% and increases treatment retention significantly.
Recovery doesn’t end when treatment does. Aftercare provides ongoing support, accountability, and resources to maintain sobriety and build a fulfilling life in recovery.
