Recovery works best with rhythm—time to learn, time to process, and time to practice. Our Day Treatment schedule gives you a steady, full-day structure while you continue sleeping at home. Your plan is individualized, but here’s the feel:
Day Treatment fits people who need full-day structure and clinical support while sleeping at home. If any of these sound like you, this level may be the right next step:
In Massachusetts, the Bureau of Substance Addiction Services (BSAS) uses the term Day Treatment for this full-day, structured outpatient level of care. Many national resources and other states refer to the same clinical intensity as a partial hospitalization program (PHP) or ASAM Level 2.5. Different name, same idea: highly structured daytime care while you sleep at home. We follow MA terminology while explaining both so you can compare options.
Our program is a highly structured and intensive treatment option tailored for individuals seeking to overcome addiction and manage mental health challenges. Here’s a glimpse of what you can expect when you enroll in our Day Treatment Program:
In our program, you will receive daily treatment and therapeutic support, allowing you to participate in a variety of evidence-based therapies and activities designed to address the complexities of addiction and mental health issues.
Our program incorporates holistic therapies and wellness activities, such as yoga, mindfulness, and art therapy, to promote overall well-being and personal growth.
Clients in our program attend treatment daily for several hours at a time. This steady, intensive schedule is ideal for those transitioning from residential treatment or those in need of comprehensive care without 24/7 monitoring.
Determining whether our Day Treatment Program is the right fit for you or your loved one is a significant decision. Here are some factors to consider:
Completing our program marks a significant milestone in your recovery journey, but planning the next steps is crucial.

Enrolling in our Day Treatment Program is a commitment to recovery and enhanced well-being. It’s a courageous choice that can lead to transformative change, and we are here to support you every step of the way.

Day Treatment typically delivers 20+ hours per week in multi-hour daytime blocks (often ~5+ hours/day across most weekdays), consistent with ASAM Level 2.5 intensity. Your exact schedule depends on your individualized plan.

Day Treatment provides more total weekly hours and daytime structure. IOP involves fewer hours and is commonly used as a step-down after Day Treatment or a step-up from standard outpatient when more support is needed.

People stepping down from detox/residential, stepping up from IOP due to symptom flare, or those who need a high-structure daytime program while returning home in the evenings. Co-occurring mental health needs are common at this level.

We create a personalized aftercare plan. Many clients step down to half-day (also known as IOP), then Outpatient, with alumni/peer support and recovery resources to maintain momentum.

Most major health insurance providers in the Plymouth area cover day treatment programs as part of their addiction health benefits. Coverage levels vary, but many plans fully or partially reimburse for day treatment sessions with an in-network specialist. Leading U.S. insurers like Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, Aetna, Cigna, and Humana often include care benefits covering day treatment programs. However, out-of-pocket costs such as copays and deductibles also factor into coverage. Begin your journey toward improved wellness with a day treatment program from Waterside Recovery.
