What type of treatment can I receive for my Addiction Recovery?
There are two types of Intensive Outpatient Programming at Balanced Recovery Center:
-High-Intensity Outpatient- sometimes referred to as Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
-Intensive Outpatient
These programs offers structured, therapist-led care several days per week for people affected by alcohol or drug use who do not require inpatient. They differ based on the level of services offered and the hours per week that you are elligible to receive.
How do High Intensity Outpatient and Intensive Outpatient programs work?
Our Intensive programs are designed for those that need more than simple once-per-week individual therapy sessions. Our programs connect you to individual therapy PLUS medical oversight, wellness and experiential therapies, group and dyad therapy, referral and resource connection, phone support/coaching, crisis intervention, family and support network engagement, and community connections. You gain access to all of these by joining our program.

Who Can Benefit from Intensitve Outpatient programs?
Intensive Outpatient programs are especially helpful for individuals who:
recently discharged, or are about to discharge, from an inpatient program, who do not want to backslide into old habits.
want more access to therapeutic support throughout the week to remain in recovery
want to meet people with similar shared experience and create community
want a "recovery bootcamp" that provides the highest level of treatment in the shortest duration of time.
would benefit from daily structure due to having time off from school, work, or other daily obligations.
Yes! Insurance companies will cover our services depending on the benefits you are elligible for. If you are not sure, fill out a no-obligation web referral on our website and we will check your insurance in minutes!
In many cases, your state will pay you directly while you are in day treatment with us! We will walk you through the process in applying for this and complete the paperwork with you!
You will arrive and be encouraged to begin your therapeutic healing process in whatever way makes sense to you, based on YOUR needs. Some days you may choose to join a few folks for therapeutic connection and sharing of stories. Other days you may choose to focus on independent skills work, or engage in a mind-body regulation activity. Food and drinks are available to you throughout the day, and lunch may be ordered based on the day. At some point during the day you may also choose to focus on an individual issue with your clinician. We are also always available by telehealth when coming on site is not an option for whatever reason.
Our programs are entirely voluntary, but to remain elligible for services through your insurance companies, there is a minimum per week of services that you must utilize.
Your privacy is very important to us. All information shared during treatment at Balanced Recovery Center is protected by federal confidentiality laws, including HIPAA (the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) and 42 CFR Part 2, which specifically protects the privacy of individuals receiving substance use disorder treatment.
The goal of our treatment program is to get you ready for discharge. Therefore, you may often hear that "discharge planning begins on day 1", which is to say, we are always discussing your life AFTER the program ends. Of course, as you get closer to the end of programming, we want to make sure you have a solidified aftercare plan that includes your next care or service location. We recommend general outpatient and community meetings for most individuals, and we will help you get these services in place prior to discharge.
