1. What Types of Rehab Programs Are Available?
Addiction treatment programs vary based on the level of care and support needed:
Detoxification (Detox): The first step for many, detox helps manage withdrawal symptoms safely under medical supervision. Learn more about our detox treatment.
Residential/Inpatient Rehab: A structured program where patients live at the facility to focus entirely on recovery. Discover our residential programs.
Outpatient Programs: Allows individuals to attend treatment while living at home, ideal for those with less severe addiction or strong support systems.
