We offer full-spectrum care so individuals can move through treatment as their needs evolve. Each level of care is designed to support a different stage of recovery and includes a range of therapeutic and clinical services.

Medical Detox

The detox process is often the first step in recovery, especially for substances like alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, or methamphetamine. At Christopher Care, our medical detox program offers 24/7 supervision in a safe and supportive environment. Medical staff closely monitors withdrawal symptoms and provides medications and emotional support as needed. Our team is trained to respond promptly to changes in a client’s condition, helping to reduce discomfort and minimize medical risks.
Once detox is complete, clients are guided into the next phase of care, with a precise treatment plan tailored to their recovery goals. Detox is not the end of treatment but the foundation for more profound healing.

Residential Treatment

Our residential program is ideal for individuals who need structured care in a distraction-free setting. Living on-site provides space to focus on mental, emotional, and physical recovery. Clients attend daily therapy, educational sessions, and wellness activities. Nutritional support, peer interaction, and consistent staff engagement create an environment conducive to personal growth.
This immersive setting helps break harmful patterns while building new coping skills. With the support of a clinical team and peer community, individuals begin to restore self-confidence and routine. The daily structure also reinforces accountability, an essential component of lasting sobriety.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

PHP allows clients to receive full-day treatment while living at home or in a sober living environment. This level of care includes therapy, group sessions, and continued psychiatric support. Clients participate in various evidence-based therapies throughout the week, and treatment is guided by a personalized plan developed by our clinical team.
PHP offers the intensity of inpatient care with the flexibility of living offsite, making it an excellent option for those transitioning from residential care or needing a high level of support during early recovery.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

IOP offers flexibility while maintaining therapeutic engagement. Clients attend treatment several days weekly, participating in group and individual therapy. This program is ideal for people balancing recovery with family, work, or school responsibilities. IOP provides the structure to maintain progress in sobriety while helping individuals reintegrate into daily life.
Sessions focus on skill-building, relapse prevention, emotional regulation, and long-term planning. Clients are encouraged to apply what they learn in treatment to real-world situations, creating a bridge between clinical care and independent living.

Outpatient and Continuing Care

As recovery progresses, clients benefit from less intensive treatment. Our outpatient care focuses on maintaining sobriety, managing mental health, and setting long-term goals. Weekly therapy sessions, support groups, and access to case management help individuals continue growing in their recovery.
Our alumni support program includes ongoing peer engagement, community events, and mentorship opportunities. This helps clients remain connected and inspired, even after they complete formal treatment.

Our therapy options are designed to help clients understand their addiction, explore trauma or mental health issues, and develop skills for managing triggers. We use evidence-based and client-centered approaches to ensure treatment is practical and meaningful.

Individual therapy
Provides a private setting for clients to explore emotional pain, develop coping strategies, and identify triggers. Group therapy offers the benefit of peer interaction, where clients learn from others’ experiences, share their own, and build social skills in a guided, supportive setting.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Helps individuals reshape negative thinking patterns that fuel substance use or emotional distress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) supports clients with unresolved trauma by reducing the intensity of distressing memories.

holistic approaches
Such as mindfulness, meditation, yoga, expressive arts, and nutrition-focused education to support whole-person wellness. Our family therapy services help rebuild trust and understanding, equipping loved ones with tools to support recovery constructively.
