Levels of Care

Everyone's recovery journey is unique. Whether it looks like residential rehab for 30 days, an outpatient program, or virtual therapy, you can find a level of care that fits your needs.
Detox
Not Offered at This Center
Typically the initial stage of treatment for substance use, focusing on medically supervised management of withdrawal symptoms.
Residential Rehab
Offering intensive care with 24/7 monitoring, residential substance use treatment is typically 30 days. Length can range from 14 to 90 days.
Sober Living
Not Offered at This Center
Transitional housing designed to support individuals recovering from substance use disorders offering a safe, supportive and structured environment for practicing long-term sobriety, while reintegrating back into daily living.
Day Treatment
In a PHP, patients live at home but follow an intensive schedule of treatment. Most programs require you to be on-site for about 40 hours per week.
Intensive Outpatient Program
An intensive outpatient program (IOP) falls between inpatient care and traditional outpatient services, with therapy and skills-building activities designed to support recovery and provide flexibility. IOP is ideal for those needing support but not the 24/7 care of a residential facility.
Outpatient
Outpatient treatment offers flexible therapeutic and medical care without the need to stay overnight in a hospital or inpatient facility. Outpatient care typically offers a range of therapies and medical interventions individuals can attend alongside daily life.
Virtual & In-Home Care
Not Offered at This Center
The delivery of therapeutic services utilizing technology such as video conferencing, online messaging or phone calls, allowing for flexibility, comfort and increased access to care.
Intensive Inpatient
The highest level of care, medically managed with 24-hour nursing and physician care in a residential or medically-based setting, and can include any combination of medication, counseling and therapy.
Co-Occurring Mental Health
Treatment for co-occurring mental health disorders, which affect the majority of individuals diagnosed, integrates care for mental health conditions with primary substance use. Personalized care plans are crafted to effectively address each condition simultaneously, optimizing the healing process.

Review from Rehabs.com

A couple of good overworked psychiatrists, but that is it. The staff is incredibly rude. Some of their policies - while \"legal\" - is morally unethical and cold hearted, especially for patients with mental illness. And you don\'t get much therapy while there. This place is also disorganized - information conveyed to the nurse and staff may not always get to its appropriate destination (and you are not allowed to email). Even if the patients sign the ROI, the family is notified of hardly anything (not even the discharge date or time). Empathy training is STRONGLY encouraged for the staff at Dewey - especially for a place like this. A family member was sent on the street for me to pick them up with no shoes or cell phone. The only way I knew to pick them which was an allowed phone call by this family member on their way out the door. Again, no notice of discharge or any kind of honesty from this place.

Treatment was based upon my needs independent of a set treatment program that everyone needs to adapt to. Staff and the facility. The program administrators.

Review from Rehabs.com

I am more than seven years clean! I attended this program beginning as a partial inpatient, all the way through to once a month counseling, and weaning off suboxone. Many people have included that this program was. for lack of better terms, a waste of money. Yes it is expensive, but just as I would have found a way to get my next fix, I found a way to attend. Also others are blaming their stay was short, or have had relapses. The tough part of addiction, is that there is no miracle that can be performed to \"keep us clean. We have to make that choice every single day from now until forever. I will certainly give Dewey some credit, they showed me the basic tools that I need to be and to say in recovery. However, it all boils down to, how much work an active addict wants to get clean, you get what you put into it. But there is no treatment center that can cure anyone from addiction...there is no cure...The only way any person will stay in recovery is by WANTING recovery MORE than they need it.

Review from Rehabs.com

They are also a mental health facility so they can accommodate people of all backgrounds. Treatment plans are patient based, which helps with the fact that everyone is different. However, space is limited and they change policies frequently regarding treatment options and medication. Also, cost can be an issue without insurance. I've been clean 4.5 years thanks to this program and my dedication to continuing in aftercare programs. I tried many things beforehand and this is the one time it's worked longer than a few months!

Review from Rehabs.com

I have been sober for almost 3years now & these nurses treat me like I\'m a junkie. Just trying to get in to see the doctor is nearly impossible and they NEVER answer the phones to help. Getting medication is a hassel because since you can\'t see the doctor on time you must send in a refill request. Then they lose them or it takes about a week to process. Then the head nurse will call you to blame you for not seeing the doctor on-time and make you pay twice. Really horrible. I would NEVER recommend it here which is a shame because there inpatient program is great

We love hearing about your treatment experience
