Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Adults who have completed or do not meet criteria for a detox program may admit directly to one of our PHP/IOP IOP Programs. The PHP/IOP is available in a Day Program format at either our Long Hill Road or Gold Star Highway campus. PHP is day treatment that is offered five (5) days per week. There are specialty tracks for Young Adults as well as those with a co-occurring diagnosis. Individuals admitted to the PHP may access sober housing while in treatment at one of our 13 Off-Campus Housing (OCH) locations.
The OCH is not a treatment facility, but allows men and women to live in a sober group home where they can practice recovery skills learned at program, participate in daily AA/NA meetings, get a sponsor and make appropriate discharge arrangements.
Individuals who do not need housing may commute to the PHP/IOP Program from home.
The Evening IOP service (EIOP) is a separate IOP service offered at the Main Campus in North Stonington three nights per week (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) for three hours per night. This service is IOP level of care only and geared to those who have family or employment obligations during the day, but are still in need of structured outpatient therapy. Admission to the EIOP is also based on ASAM criteria for intensive outpatient level of care.
