What is Alcohol Addiction?

Alcohol use disorder is one of the most common addictions in the United States, affecting an estimated 28 million American adults. It develops gradually โ€” what starts as social or stress-related drinking can progress into physical dependence over months or years. Because alcohol withdrawal can be medically dangerous, professional treatment is critical for safe recovery.

Our PHP and IOP programs let you receive intensive treatment while living at home.

What's the difference between PHP and IOP for alcohol?

PHP (Partial Hospitalization) is more intensive โ€” typically 5-6 hours per day, 5 days a week โ€” best for people in early recovery or stepping down from inpatient care. IOP (Intensive Outpatient) is 3 hours per day, 3-5 days per week, designed for people balancing recovery with work, school, or family.
