Medical Drug & Alcohol Detox

Short-term medical detoxification programs prepare you for drug or alcohol rehab by keeping you medically supervised as you experience withdrawal symptoms.

After you finish your detox program, you or your loved one can choose between a variety of different rehab programs to continue your recovery progress.

Inpatient/Residential Treatment

Inpatient treatment facilities are designed for individuals who need focused, intensive treatment for substance use disorders or dual diagnoses involving co-occurring mental health disorders.

If you enroll in an inpatient drug rehab program, you should expect to live inside a rehabilitation center for an extended period of time, with close access to medical professionals and a variety of treatment programs and interventions. 

Outpatient Treatment

If you enroll in outpatient treatment, you will be expected to attend regular treatment sessions while continuing to live at home. Outpatient services may be offered after, in place of, or as an alternative to inpatient treatment, and may be formatted as:

• non-intensive outpatient programs
• intensive outpatient programs (IOPs)
• partial hospitalization programs (PHPs) with focused mental health treatment

Opioid & Alcohol Treatment Programs

MAT is available in both inpatient and outpatient treatment programs.
