Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Our partial hospitalization program is ideal for individuals who need intensive outpatient addiction treatment without requiring overnight residential care. PHP provides structured daily programming that helps people build stability while remaining connected to their families and communities.

  • Focus: Building stability and developing healthy coping skills
  • Typical Duration: 4–6 weeks, based on individual progress
  • Schedule: 5–6 hours per day, 5 days per week
  • Care Team: Therapists, counselors, peers, and family involvement when appropriate

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Our intensive outpatient program is one of the most common forms of outpatient rehab in Rhode Island. IOP allows individuals to receive comprehensive therapy, relapse prevention education, and recovery support while continuing to work, attend school, or care for family responsibilities.

  • Focus: Strengthening coping skills and supporting real-world integration
  • Typical Duration: Varies based on progress and goals
  • Schedule: 3–5 days per week with flexible scheduling
  • Care Team: Therapists, counselors, and a supportive peer group

Outpatient Treatment

Our outpatient treatment program provides ongoing clinical support for individuals who have completed PHP or IOP, as well as those who need a lower level of care from the start. Through individual counseling, group therapy, relapse prevention, and continued recovery planning, outpatient addiction treatment helps clients maintain long-term progress while living at home.

  • Focus: Maintaining progress, preventing relapse, and supporting long-term recovery
  • Typical Duration: Ongoing, based on individual needs and goals
  • Schedule: 1–3 sessions per week
  • Care Team: Therapists and a supportive clinical team as needed

Why Choose Outpatient Rehab in Rhode Island?

Outpatient rehabilitation allows individuals to receive professional addiction treatment while continuing to live at home and remain connected to work, school, and family responsibilities. For many people, outpatient care provides the flexibility they need without sacrificing access to evidence-based therapies, peer support, and individualized treatment planning.

At Bold Steps Rhode Island, every treatment plan is tailored to the individual. Whether someone is recovering from alcohol addiction, opioid use, stimulant use, or another substance use disorder, our team provides coordinated care that addresses both addiction and mental health whenever appropriate.

Why Structured Treatment Like PHP and IOP Matters

Structured programs like PHP and IOP play a critical role in helping individuals stabilize and build lasting recovery.

  • Over 1 in 5 U.S. adults lives with a mental health condition each year
  • Many individuals with co-occurring substance use and mental health conditions do not receive the integrated care they need
  • Mental health and substance use disorders frequently occur together, requiring coordinated treatment
  • Programs like PHP and IOP improve outcomes by providing consistent, structured therapeutic support

These realities underscore the need for structured, accessible care—programs like PHP and IOP that provide consistent support and a clear path forward.

Features That Make Bold Steps Rhode Island Different

Our programs combine clinical excellence with a holistic, person-centered approach, ensuring that each individual receives care designed for lasting change.

  • Individualized Treatment Planning: Every client receives a personalized treatment plan based on clinical assessments, recovery goals, and progress throughout care.
  • Curriculum-Based Groups: Structured lessons that help clients build skills step-by-step
  • Specialized Therapies: Including trauma therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR therapy, and more
  • Holistic Healing Practices: Yoga, mindfulness, and wellness activities that support mind-body balance
  • Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT): When appropriate, to safely manage cravings and withdrawal
  • Family and Alumni Support: Weekly family sessions and ongoing alumni events that extend recovery support beyond treatment

Who Benefits from Outpatient Treatment?

Outpatient rehabilitation can benefit individuals who:

  • Have completed detox or residential treatment
  • Need structured addiction treatment while living at home
  • Require flexible scheduling around work or school
  • Are managing both substance use and mental health disorders
  • Want continued professional support during long-term recovery

Whether you’re beginning recovery or transitioning from a higher level of care, Bold Steps Rhode Island can help you find the outpatient program that’s right for you.

Your Commitment: What to Expect

Your schedule will depend on your level of care and personal recovery goals, but each program provides a clear, structured path forward:

  • Partial Hospitalization Program: Full-day programming, typically Monday through Friday, including therapy, group sessions, and holistic activities.
  • Intensive Outpatient Program: 3–5 days per week with structured therapy sessions that allow you to maintain outside responsibilities.
  • Outpatient Treatment: 1–3 sessions per week focused on maintaining progress, preventing relapse, and continuing personal growth.
