Recovery from addiction is a long-term process. While detox and inpatient rehab are vital first steps, most clients need continuing treatment at lower levels of care. Often, as clients heal from the harmful effects of substance abuse, they begin to understand the root causes of their addiction.
At our outpatient rehab in Egg Harbor City, New Jersey, we continue the work that clients began during detox and inpatient care. That way, our clients can tackle their addiction at the root cause, leading to lower relapse rates, improved quality of life, and better treatment outcomes.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
Our partial hospitalization program (PHP) is the highest level of care we offer. Sometimes called “day treatment,” PHPs occur for several hours daily for five days each week. During PHP, clients continue building the skills that they attained in residential care without the restrictions of living within a facility.
During PHP in Egg Harbor City, clients get an immersive experience with peers and professionals while residing within their own homes or a sober living program. Clients follow a structured daily schedule that includes group as well as individual therapeutic activities.
This program is great for those who aren’t yet ready or able to resume their careers or academic pursuits following inpatient rehab.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Intensive outpatient programs (IOPs) are our next level of care after PHP. Some clients might be ready to attend an IOP if the schedule of a PHP is too restrictive. At our IOP in Egg Harbor City, clients attend the program around their schedule. That way, they can go back to work, resume family duties, or attend school with minimal disruption.
IOPs occur for several hours each week, and sessions are broken up into blocks of two to three hours each. Clients will have a mix of group and individual sessions, which include therapy and life skills preparation. Our IOP offers sessions in the morning, afternoon, and evening for greater flexibility.
In addition, Vista Research found that Enlightened Recovery’s IOP boasts a 67% successful completion rate compared to the 26% national average.
Outpatient Program (OP)
Outpatient programs (OP) are the least restrictive type of program that we offer. Clients in OP have the coping skills and natural support system to manage without the intensity of PHP and IOP. Usually, clients attend an hourly appointment with a therapist or group once per week. This helps clients continue to grow and work on underlying issues or challenges to recovery.
OP is also more flexible in terms of the specific issues a client will bring up during sessions. While PHP and IOP have a majority of sessions built around topics about recovery in general, OP can be geared towards more unique struggles of each person in recovery.
Common topics in OP include grief and loss, low self-esteem, relationship problems, coping with stress, negative thinking, and other issues that could trigger relapse or decrease a person’s life satisfaction.
