Levels of Care at Discovery Addiction Centers
Recovery from substance use disorder or co-occurring conditions is a journey, and your needs change during your time in treatment.
One of the ways we respond to those needs within our programs at Discovery Addiction Centers is by offering different levels of care. Some levels are comprehensive, involving 24/7 monitoring of your vital signs. Others are less intensive, allowing you to re-enter regular day-to-day life as you continue treatment.
We also use a unique measurement-based system to monitor your progress. By carefully monitoring 27 different wellness indicators, we’re able to get a complete and accurate portrait of your needs, allowing us to help you at every stage of your growth.
Residential Treatment
As it says, residential treatment, sometimes referred to as RTC, involves staying at one of our treatment centers while you receive treatment. It allows for continued close monitoring and safety during the first steps into treatment, which is why residential care is the ideal next step after detox.
During residential care, you’ll participate in group and one-on-one therapy and engage in other forms of treatment while you build your strength back up. Residential treatment offers safety and structure after detox, ensuring the hard work you did lasts a lifetime.
Although recovery isn’t a race, it’s understandable to want to know how long a particular stage in recovery lasts, especially if it involves being away from home. In general, people stay at this level of recovery for between 30 and 90 days (it depends on the program and progress of getting better).
Discovery Addiction Centers offer a range of comfortable residential care options at our various treatment centers.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
A partial hospitalization program, or PHP, offers intensive, highly structured care on an outpatient basis. During a PHP program, you spend the entire day at our treatment center and return home at night. You’ll participate in a full range of programming, including:
- Individual, group and family therapy
- Medication management
- Skill building
Like other forms of outpatient care, PHPs aren’t for everybody. They’re best for people who have moved up from inpatient care but still benefit from structured support. Also, PHP is a good fit for those who need more support than weekly sessions…but don’t really need the close 24/7 monitoring offered by residential care.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
An intensive outpatient program (IOP) allows you to slowly reinsert yourself back into regular life while still receiving treatment. It’s the most flexible level of care, and many people participating in an IOP look for work, continue in their career, or attend school.
During our IOP program, you’ll participate in:
- Therapy sessions
- Group therapy
- Medication management
- Life skills building
- Family therapy
Like PHP, there’s no definite time limit for how long an IOP program lasts. In general, an IOP takes place over part of a day, rather than the entire day, which is what makes them so flexible.
IOP takes place over part of a day, rather than the entire day, making it a flexible program. The timing for how long an IOP can depend on your needs and also your insurance.
