Recovery isn’t a one-size-fits-all journey.
Some individuals need intensive, daily support to build a strong foundation for recovery, while others are ready to balance treatment with work, school, or family life. At Bold Steps Rhode Island, we offer multiple levels of care so you can receive the right support at the right time.
Our programs are built around structured, curriculum-based groups, specialized therapies, and holistic practices that support both mind and body. Whether you’re entering a Partial Hospitalization Program for full-day support or an Intensive Outpatient Program with more flexibility, our team will help you build a plan that fits your life.
Each level of care is designed to meet you where you are in your recovery. After an initial assessment, our team will recommend the program that best supports your clinical needs, daily responsibilities, and long-term goals.
A Partial Hospitalization Program is our most intensive level of care. It provides full-day, structured support for individuals who need stability after detox or during a period of heightened symptoms. Clients spend most of the day in treatment, building coping skills, addressing underlying causes, and establishing a strong foundation for recovery.
An Intensive Outpatient Program offers a step down from PHP while still providing meaningful structure and support. It’s ideal for individuals who need consistent treatment while maintaining work, school, or family responsibilities, or for those transitioning from a higher level of care.
Outpatient treatment is the least intensive level of care and offers continued therapy and support as individuals return to daily life. This level of care is ideal for those who have completed higher levels of treatment and want to remain connected to professional guidance and community support.
Structured programs like PHP and IOP play a critical role in helping individuals stabilize and build lasting recovery.
These realities underscore the need for structured, accessible care—programs like PHP and IOP that provide consistent support and a clear path forward.
Our programs combine clinical excellence with a holistic, person-centered approach, ensuring that each individual receives care designed for lasting change.
Recovery is not something you have to face alone.
During treatment at Bold Steps Rhode Island, you’ll be supported by a community that may include:
This community environment helps create accountability, connection, and a safe space for personal growth.
