Christopher Care provides a complete range of addiction treatment services to meet the evolving needs of each client. We know that recovery isn’t linear, so we offer flexible options designed to meet individuals wherever they are in the process.

Each level of care at Christopher Care serves a specific purpose. Whether someone is beginning detox or transitioning into outpatient support, we ensure that every phase is coordinated, supportive, and focused on healing.

Detox and Residential Treatment

Our residential and detox programs help individuals stabilize both physically and emotionally. Detox includes medical supervision, symptom management, and 24/7 support. Once detox is complete, clients begin daily therapy, structured activities, and wellness-focused routines that prepare them for long-term sobriety.

Residential treatment includes a schedule that helps reintroduce structure and routine into everyday life—two key components in sustainable recovery. Days are filled with a mix of individual therapy, group sessions, recovery education, physical movement, and reflection.

This immersive level of care is particularly beneficial for individuals with a history of relapse, co-occurring disorders, or environmental stressors that may hinder early recovery efforts.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

PHP offers full-day programming without overnight stays. This level of care is perfect for individuals stepping down from residential treatment or needing structure while managing outside responsibilities.

Clients in PHP continue receiving therapy, skills training, and case management, but can return home or to sober living in the evenings. This balance of care and independence is crucial for transitioning back into daily life.

Participants also benefit from strong peer support, personalized goal planning, and continued connection with our clinical team.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

IOP allows clients to maintain work or school obligations while attending therapy multiple times weekly. It’s an essential bridge between high-intensity treatment and everyday life.

IOP includes cognitive therapy, life skills development, relapse prevention, and continued accountability through peer support and clinician oversight.

We also incorporate recovery assignments and check-ins to reinforce accountability and help clients track progress in real-time.

Outpatient and Continuing Care

Our outpatient services support clients in maintaining recovery. Counseling, peer groups, relapse prevention planning, and progress tracking keep individuals engaged and focused. We also help clients access community resources such as employment assistance or housing support.

Continuing care focuses on maintaining sobriety through long-term support, goal setting, and relationship building. It helps clients avoid isolation and stay motivated through weekly check-ins and support groups.

Ongoing care is especially valuable for individuals re-entering high-risk environments or facing significant life transitions.

Therapy is the foundation of every treatment program at Christopher Care. Our team uses evidence-based methods to help clients process emotions, develop coping skills, and improve their mental health.

Individual and Group Therapy

Clients attend private therapy sessions to address core issues, triggers, and behavior patterns. In group settings, they build trust, practice communication, and learn from others’ experiences.

Group sessions are also designed to develop social and interpersonal skills, which are often strained by years of addiction.

Therapists focus on skill-building, emotional exploration, and goal setting, encouraging clients to understand and reshape their behavior patterns.

Trauma-Informed Therapies

Many clients carry trauma that fuels their addiction. We offer EMDR and other proven techniques to help individuals reprocess painful memories and find emotional balance.

Understanding the impact of trauma allows clients to break free from the patterns that once kept them stuck in cycles of substance use.

By reducing the power of unresolved trauma, clients are better equipped to focus on the present and plan for the future.

Relapse Prevention and Life Skills

Therapists teach clients how to identify triggers, create relapse prevention strategies, and make recovery-focused decisions. Life skills education includes time management, communication, and emotional regulation.

These tools not only support recovery—they improve quality of life and help clients rebuild confidence.

We help clients build daily routines, improve decision-making, and establish long-term goals.

Holistic Activities

Clients benefit from yoga, fitness, meditation, and expressive arts therapy. These activities help reduce stress, increase self-awareness, and promote balance between mind and body.

Participating in these modalities gives clients alternative ways to cope with anxiety, depression, and cravings—skills that are essential after discharge.

These practices also support emotional clarity, better sleep, and an overall sense of well-being.

Family Counseling and Support

Family members are part of the healing process too. Through therapy and education, we help families understand addiction, rebuild relationships, and offer support without enabling.

We aim to promote honest communication, emotional healing, and lasting change within the family unit.

We also offer educational materials and workshops to ensure family members are well-informed and empowered to support their loved ones.
