Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

car-building iconOutpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

bed-front iconInpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

house-medical iconIntensive Outpatient

Their intensive outpatient program (IOP) provides more structure and in-depth treatment compared to once-a-week visits, but it’s also less structured than an inpatient program. IOP may be recommended to help the patient cope with anxiety, depression, addiction or trauma. It also helps build basic recovery skills that will allow personal growth during and after the recovery process. Because substance use affects the person and all of his or her relationships, families and significant others are included in care, education and support.

house-medical iconAftercare

Rehab aftercare programs support clients' long-term recovery through highly customized wraparound care aligned with clients' evolving needs. Most have been sober for a period of weeks or longer and have completed intensive inpatient rehab but may be receiving outpatient care. Many clients also receive services after being discharged from formal treatment. Long-term care plans are typically developed in collaboration with the client's case manager and care team and may include peer coaching, relapse prevention, and related services.

book-medical icon12-Step

12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

hospital iconPartial Hospitalization Program

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.

truck-medical icon24-Hour Clinical Care

At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour clinical care offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, knowing medical detox and other treatment will happen with professionals on hand.

clipboard-medical iconMedically Assisted Detox

Medical detox involves weaning your body off drugs and/or alcohol in an inpatient setting, and is often the first step in addiction recovery. Quitting alcohol and certain drugs (like benzodiazepines or opioids) can cause dangerous side effects once you have become physically dependent. In medically assisted detox, a team of on-site healthcare professionals will work to keep you safe and comfortable during this process. Additionally, they may administer medications when needed to alleviate any withdrawal symptoms.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Couples Therapy

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person’s life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Whether the patient is in a relationship, married or going through a divorce, their compassionate therapists will help him/her address problems and restore and heal his/her relationship.

Family Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Group Therapy

Group therapy allows patients to give and receive immediate feedback about their concerns in a supportive, confidential environment. Patients are encouraged to identify and process feelings associated with negative life circumstances and through the help of counselors, explore issues in a social context that more accurately reflects real life.

Individual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Recreational Therapy

Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.

Don't go here!!This hospital almost killed my wife after we had our son then refused to allow her to breastfeed even after she spoke with multiple Doctor's prior to him being born and they all reassured her it was her baby her choice. My wife had asked many times for her records as she still doesn't know what they did to her and here we are a year later and nothing! She is still traumatized by the events and even though she won't admit there's a disconnect between her and our son. She's waited 18 year's for a boy and now this! She can't sleep or eat and now she fears even going to the Doctor's office to get the help she so much needs. It's hard watching her lungs this and knowing I can't fix what they broke! Please if you love your family like I do you'll Stay away!! Pictures of the surgery, my wife after surgery, and our son! Also would like to add during the video in the background you can hear her saying something is wrong this feels different from the last time. Unfortunately I stopped recording when she asked the nurse "please don't let me die, I haven't met my son yet and my other children need me". I broke down as they rushed her away from me not knowing what was happening.

Brother admitted to ICU, I am only relative and live in California. Called Nurses station @812pm today to check and see if he is still there and ok. Nurse Betty was so rude and combative and refused to say anything other than read me the riot act, yes I am fully aware of PHI, but was not asking for that! Brother has difficulty comprehending at times so there us NO Place for rude and mean behavior. Get a new job since it is apparent you do not like this one and go over and beyond to family of sick loved ones.

Ashley 3rd shift nurse, 12:20AM 3/8/2024, HIGHLY RUDE, SUPER MEAN, I asked if she can see about a puddle of water coming from the garbage can, NOT ONLY DID SHE GIVE ATTITUDE when I asked 2 be cleaned but She grabbed a white towel with ATTITUDE and cleaned it with her FOOT. THE WHITE TOWEL WAS YELLOW FROM WHATEVER WAS COMING from the garage Ashley did NOT DISINFECT NOTHING. HIGHLY UNSANITARY. ASHLEY took 10 MINUTES TO send someone to DISINFECT after ASKED BY MYSELF TO DO SO. Left his heart monitor off for 15 minutes then said hooking this up is more important than a puddle on the floor that I had 2 walk past. I FELT Totally UNCOMFORTABLE.
