Levels of Care
at Casa Palmera
Recovery is a journey that consists of steps. As you transition between these steps, your needs change.
Your first steps in recovery might involve safely getting drugs out of your system. Later steps might involve confronting past trauma, participating in a 12-step program, or learning how to reenter the job market.
At Casa Palmera, we’ll help meet your needs as you progress in treatment by moving you through several distinct levels of care.
Residential Treatment at Casa Palmera
Residential treatment is the ideal next step after drug detox. It offers the same close 24/7 monitoring as drug detox combined with the first real steps into recovery, like group therapy and more.
At Casa Palmera, our residential treatment program draws from the best of modern scientific knowledge, as well as holistic, intuitive healing techniques to treat SUD and mental health disorders. We offer a diversity of behavioral health treatment plans, including:
- Individual and group therapy
- Interactive groups
- Yoga
- Expressive art therapy
- Meditation
We offer a relaxing environment in a calm community. Healing activities often take place in our outdoor patios and backyards, which are spaces to enjoy the California sunshine throughout your recovery.
Through our ancillary activities and holistic treatment alongside our measurement-based therapies, we encourage releasing limiting beliefs and the opportunity to push past any internal barriers to recovery.
Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP)
For most individuals seeking recovery from substance use disorders, outpatient drug rehabilitation typically unfolds in two structured phases: Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHPs) and Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs). These stages are designed to provide comprehensive care while allowing patients to maintain aspects of their daily lives, such as work, school, or family responsibilities.
PHPs represent the more intensive level of outpatient care. During this phase, patients attend treatment sessions at the facility for several hours a day, often five to seven days a week. These sessions may include:
- Individual therapy
- Group counseling
- Medical monitoring
- Psychiatric support
- Holistic therapies such as mindfulness or fitness activities
Despite the rigorous schedule, you’ll return home (or to a sober living environment) each evening, which helps you begin integrating recovery into your everyday routines while still receiving robust clinical support.
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP)
Intensive outpatient programs (IOPs) follow PHPs and offer a step-down level of care. IOPs typically involve fewer hours per week, often three to five days of treatment, and focus on:
- Reinforcing coping strategies
- Relapse prevention
- Long-term recovery planning
This phase allows for greater flexibility, enabling individuals to resume more of their personal and professional responsibilities while continuing to receive structured support.
Drug Detox: The First Step to Recovery
Typically the first step of treating substance use disorders, detox allows harmful chemicals to leave the body in a safe and controlled manner. Although drug detoxification can be difficult, it’s a necessary part of recovery – drug rehab simply can’t work if a person has addictive drugs in their system.
As your body adjusts to ridding itself of the substance it’s been depending on to feel normal, withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, nausea, and high blood pressure may surface and need to be monitored by a medical professional.
At Casa Palmera, our team will ensure that you’re as comfortable and safe as possible during this process. You will receive 24-hour residential care and be surrounded by medical staff who can attend to your detox process. Casa Palmera has a talented team experienced with detox treatment. We are ready to help you through this first step of recovery and into a fulfilling and sober life.
Most people enter our residential treatment program after going through detoxification services.
Aftercare: Because Nothing is as Important as the Rest of Your Life
Aftercare is every bit as important as the other stages of care. As you complete your treatment and begin reintegrating into daily life, our priority is to ensure you feel secure, supported, and empowered during this pivotal transition.
That’s why, from the very start of your journey with us, we collaborate closely with you to develop a personalized aftercare plan tailored to your unique needs. This plan includes a trusted recovery support network designed to help you maintain momentum and stay connected. It’s a vital part of our commitment to your long-term success.
Plus, there’s Discovery365™, our exclusive aftercare program. Using proprietary technology, Discovery365 is able to tell when you need extra support – and connects you to it. It’s your partner in recovery for a year after you leave Casa Palmera.
Measurement-Based Care at Every Level
As part of the Discovery Addiction Centers family, you’ll receive our unique approach to your care at every level. We carefully examine 27 different wellness indicators, including your mental and physical health histories, social influences, and more. It helps us create truly effective care plans, no matter what level of care you’re at.
