LEVELS OF CARE

Types of Addiction Treatment

Recovery is a deeply personal journey, with each patient requiring a unique approach to healing. The Embers offers a comprehensive range of treatment levels designed to meet patients exactly where they are in their recovery process.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

A world-class, intensive treatment option for patients requiring expert-level support without full inpatient care. This transformative program provides a holistic approach to recovery, offering structured therapy sessions, innovative skill-building workshops, and compassionate psychiatric care. Patients receive comprehensive support while maintaining the flexibility to return home or to sober living environments each evening.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Tailored for patients seeking a resilient path to recovery while maintaining personal and professional responsibilities. This empowering program delivers personalized treatment through multiple weekly therapy sessions, supportive group interactions, and ongoing guidance. Patients develop inclusive strategies for navigating recovery while balancing work, education, and personal commitments.

Outpatient Program (OP)

A flexible, grounded approach for patients transitioning from more intensive levels of care or seeking ongoing support. This restorative program provides weekly therapy sessions and innovative resources designed to help patients build long-term recovery strategies. With a compassionate and inclusive framework, the outpatient program ensures continued growth and healing.

Aftercare and Sober Living

Leaving formal treatment doesn’t mean the recovery journey ends. Aftercare provides patients with essential tools and support to navigate the challenging transition back to everyday life, helping them maintain the progress they’ve worked so hard to achieve.

Sober living homes allow patients to practice recovery skills in real-world settings, surrounded by a supportive community of individuals with similar goals. Sober living helps patients build confidence and develop sustainable life strategies by creating a safe and accountable space.

Comprehensive aftercare and continuing care provide patients with ongoing resources like continued therapy, career guidance, family support, and medication monitoring. These services address the practical and emotional challenges of recovery, helping patients navigate potential obstacles and maintain their commitment to healing.

Recovery is an ongoing process, and they don’t have to face challenges alone. With the right support system, participants can transform their initial treatment into lasting, meaningful change.

Choosing a Treatment Center

People and their families should do their homework when it comes to selecting the right substance abuse treatment center for their needs:

Think about treatment needs

Evaluate the specific substance use disorder, mental health challenges, and individual circumstances. Different addiction treatment centers offer varying levels of care, from medical detox to outpatient treatment, and specialize in addressing specific addictions.

Research their approach

Seek facilities that employ a holistic approach and scientifically proven treatment methodologies. Reputable addiction treatment centers in the state should offer evidence-based programs that address co-occurring disorders and provide personalized treatment plans.

Verify their credentials

Verify the center's professional credentials and acknowledgment from organizations such as AHCCCS certification. Ensure the facility employs licensed medical professionals and behavioral health experts specializing in addiction recovery.

Discuss flexibility

Consider the continuum of care and if it meets your individual needs. The right facility should provide a whole-person approach that supports patients through each stage of their recovery journey.

Inquire about ongoing support

Prioritize centers that offer comprehensive support groups, family therapy, and robust aftercare planning. Wellness-focused programs that support patients' mental health disorders, career development, and long-term recovery strategies drive sustainable healing.
