Residential/Inpatient Drug Rehab

Inpatient alcohol and drug rehab centers offer a highly structured program with 24/7 supervision. You will live at the treatment center and attend daily groups, including therapies and activities.

Outpatient Treatment

Outpatient programs give you the flexibility of traveling to the treatment center while living at your home. Although outpatient programs are structured and offer similar services to residential treatment, they are best for those with a strong support system. 

Outpatient programs can also be used as a step-down program, following a residential drug or alcohol rehab program.
