Real recovery happens when treatment fits your life.
At Waterside Recovery, we offer structured outpatient care that combines clinical support, therapy, and accountability — without the need to stay overnight. Our programs are designed to help you stabilize, rebuild, and move forward one step at a time.
Every person’s path looks a little different. That’s why we offer three levels of care that can be adjusted as you grow in recovery.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) — Our most structured daytime option. You’ll attend a full day of group therapy, individual sessions, and psychiatric care, then return home in the evening. It’s the ideal bridge between inpatient rehab and independent living.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) — A flexible afternoon schedule designed for people balancing work, school, or family responsibilities. You’ll receive the same quality of care in a more adaptable format.

Outpatient Treatment (OP) — Continued support through weekly therapy sessions, case management, and relapse prevention. It’s a great option for step-down care or for those seeking stability after completing a higher level of treatment.

1. Assessment & Planning
We start by understanding your full picture — substance use history, mental health needs, medical background, and daily routine.
2. Personalized Plan of Care
Your treatment plan may include individual therapy, CBT or DBT skills groups, family involvement, and medication management when appropriate.
3. Daily Skills, Real-Life Practice
You’ll build coping tools, identify triggers, and learn how to manage cravings — while practicing those skills in the real world.
4. Step-Down & Aftercare
As you gain stability, you’ll transition from PHP to IOP or Outpatient and leave with a detailed aftercare and relapse-prevention plan.
Our clinical team integrates multiple evidence-based approaches to address both the physical and emotional sides of addiction:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Motivational Interviewing (MI)
Family Education and Support
Psychoeducation and Life Skills Groups
Medication Management (when clinically appropriate)

Our program provides compassionate, daily support from a team of expert providers. When you come to us for help, you can expect a comprehensive exam, evidence-based therapy, and aftercare planning.
As you graduate from our day treatment program, we will work with you to create a plan for managing your mental health and maintaining sobriety. This may include stepping down to our afternoon treatment program or outpatient program and becoming active in our alumni group.
The benefits of a day treatment program go beyond being able to return home at night.
