Mental Health Assessment & Counseling
Clinicians use mental health assessments to evaluate the severity of the participant’s substance use disorder and to create an individualized treatment plan. Treatment may include individual counseling to discuss the treatment process, set recovery goals, and talk through any post-treatment recommendations.

Inpatient Detox
Detox is for individuals with acute alcohol use disorder that may experience withdrawal symptoms when they stop drinking, which can be dangerous without medical supervision. Medical detox involves the use of medication to safely and comfortably alleviate withdrawal symptoms until the body has detoxed from substances. After detox, it is recommended that participant’s attend an inpatient or outpatient addiction treatment program.

Residential Substance Use Disorder Treatment
Inpatient addiction treatment uses evidence-based interventions to treat substance use disorders, such as cognitive behavioral therapy and individualized treatments. Treatment begins with an assessment to determine individual needs, which informs a customized treatment plan, followed by individual and group counseling, psychoeducation, and recovery support meetings.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Created for adults who need formal treatment but have at-home support. Participants attend individual and group treatment sessions for improved coping skills, peer support, and recovery support meetings, several days per week.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
Like other outpatient programs, participants attend individual and group sessions, but do so most days of the week.
