What Is Half-Day Treatment?

Half-day treatment, sometimes called Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) by insurance companies, lasts for a few hours each day, several days a week. Unlike full-day programs, outpatient addiction programs like this one provide help while still managing work, school, or family needs.

This type of outpatient treatment can be an option instead of full-day care or a follow-up after completing more intense programs like residential rehab. You get good support while slowly gaining more freedom.

What Are the Benefits of Half-Day Treatment?
  • No overnight, in-facility stays
  • Highly personalized, hospitable care that fits your schedule
  • Focused treatment that targets the root causes of addiction
  • Involve your family and support network in your recovery
  • Learn practical skills to prevent relapse and self-sabotage

Transitioning From Half-Day Treatment to Long-Term Recovery

After treatment, the recovery plan doesn’t end. We start planning your aftercare weeks before you finish the program. Your case manager and therapist will work with you and your family to create a solid plan for your continued success.

Outpatient Support and Ongoing Care

As you get better, we’ll help you move to the right level of continuing care. This might be weekly therapy, a step-down program, or less frequent check-ins for several months after you finish.

Family Involvement

We strongly encourage your family to take part in your recovery. They can join family therapy, learn about addiction, and develop ways to support you while healing your relationships.

Build a Strong Foundation for Independence

Throughout the program, you’ll gain key life skills and coping tools that support staying sober. These help prevent relapse as you handle daily challenges and build resilience.
