Levels of Care

Comprehensive Treatment for Addiction

At Legacy Healing Center, we provide nationally accredited, evidence-based drug and alcohol treatment services that support long-term recovery and whole-person wellness. Our programs are guided by a multidisciplinary team of licensed medical professionals, psychologists, and behavioral health experts who specialize in treating substance use disorders, co-occurring mental health conditions, and the behavioral complexities of drug addiction.

We treat a wide range of addictions, including those related to alcohol, opioids, stimulants, nicotine, and other substances, recognizing that detoxification alone is not enough; comprehensive treatment is essential for meaningful, lasting recovery.

🔹 Our mission isn’t just to help you stop using drugs or alcohol, but to help you truly heal from the inside out.

Understanding Substance Abuse Treatment Options

Substance use disorders (SUDs), including alcohol use disorder and drug addiction, are complex medical conditions that impact brain function, behavior, and decision-making. These disorders are recognized by the American Psychiatric Association and the National Institute on Drug Abuse, with the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) providing the standard criteria for diagnosis.

At Legacy Healing Center, we recognize that effective recovery requires more than detox or short-term care. That’s why we provide a full spectrum of treatment options designed to support long-term sobriety, whole-person healing, and personal transformation. We meet clients wherever they are in their recovery journey.

Research shows that individualized care and comprehensive support significantly improve recovery outcomes for those with substance use disorders.

Clinical Step-Down Model

Recovery from a substance use disorder is a process, not an event. At Legacy Healing Center, we guide clients through a clinical step-down model of care that offers the right level of support at the right time. This tiered approach begins with the most intensive services and gradually decreases in structure as clients gain stability and independence.

Rather than following a fixed path, the step-down model adapts to each client’s unique progress, needs, and potential risks. Clients can enter at the appropriate level and move fluidly between phases of care as their recovery evolves. At every stage, therapeutic interventions are tailored to support sustained growth and prevent relapse. This flexible approach mirrors the natural ups and downs of a person’s recovery journey.

Clients may “step up” when challenges arise, or “step down” as stability improves—all within a supportive, coordinated care environment.

Unlike the spiritual 12-step philosophy found in programs like Alcoholics Anonymous, our “steps” refer to a clinical progression of care intensity, ensuring that clients receive the right level of support at the right time.

Why the Step-Down Model Works

This model acknowledges that recovery is a dynamic, non-linear process. By adapting treatment intensity to the individual’s changing needs, we:

• Reduces relapse risk through early intervention and ongoing clinical oversight
• Encourages steady personal growth and long-term lifestyle changes
• Builds sustainable coping strategies that support independence and emotional balance
• Improves treatment retention and long-term recovery outcomes
• Aligns with best practices for managing chronic, relapse-prone conditions like addiction

Research shows that flexible, multi-level programs increase adherence and reduce treatment dropout rates for individuals with substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions.

Clinical Expertise for Whole-Person Recovery

Addiction often coexists with mental health disorders such as anxiety, depression, or PTSD. Nearly 50% of individuals with a SUD meet the criteria for a co-occurring condition, making dual diagnosis care essential. Our licensed therapists, addiction specialists, and medical staff work together to treat the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—rather than just the symptoms of substance use.

We integrate a range of therapeutic interventions, including:

• Individual and group counseling
• Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
• Trauma-informed care
• Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) when appropriate
• Life skills training and family involvement

Our Healing Approach to Recovery

At Legacy Healing Center, we understand that substance use disorders are not one-size-fits-all conditions, and neither is recovery. Each client begins with a comprehensive clinical evaluation to assess physical health, substance use history, mental health status, and personal circumstances. This process forms the foundation of a personalized treatment plan tailored to meet each individual’s unique medical, emotional, psychological, and social needs.

Our clinical and holistic approach treats addiction as a chronic brain disorder that affects decision-making, behavior, and emotional regulation. We recognize that nearly half of individuals with a substance use disorder also experience co-occurring mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, or PTSD. That’s why dual diagnosis care is an essential part of our whole-person healing philosophy.

Our licensed therapists, addiction specialists, and medical team collaborate to deliver an integrated treatment experience that goes beyond symptom management. Depending on each client’s needs, we incorporate:

• Individual and group counseling
• Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
• Trauma-informed care
• Medication-assisted treatment (MAT), when appropriate
• Life skills training and family involvement

Personalized Levels of Care for Substance Use Disorder

Medical Detoxification

The first step toward lasting recovery often begins with detoxification—the medically supervised process of clearing substances from the body. The goal of detox is to help clients safely stop taking addictive substances under medical supervision. At Legacy Healing Center, we offer medically monitored detox to ensure that clients with substance use disorders safely manage withdrawal symptoms, reduce physical health risks, and begin treatment in a stable condition.

Why Medical Detox Is Essential

Sudden cessation from drugs or alcohol can result in serious—and sometimes life-threatening—withdrawal symptoms, including:

• Nausea, headaches, and insomnia
• Anxiety and irritability
• Seizures or hallucinations (in severe cases)

Our clinical team establishes a personalized detox plan, including medications when appropriate, to ease discomfort and reduce risk. Medical care is available around the clock to ensure patient safety and comfort during this critical stage.

⚠️ Withdrawal varies significantly depending on the substance involved, usage patterns, and co-occurring mental health disorders.

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

for Opioid Use Disorder

For individuals facing opioid addiction, Legacy Healing Center offers medication-assisted treatment (MAT)—an evidence-based practice that combines pharmacological support with counseling and behavioral therapies. These medications are designed to reduce cravings and help clients avoid relapse during recovery.

MAT Options Include:

• Buprenorphine (Suboxone®): Reduces cravings and alleviates withdrawal
• Methadone: Used in some clinical environments, but at Legacy, we emphasize complete abstinence as the ultimate goal
• Outpatient MAT Programs: These allow clients to receive ongoing medication management while engaging in group therapy and individual counseling

Our medical team carefully evaluates whether MAT is appropriate and integrates it into a broader treatment plan that supports full, long-term recovery, not just symptom management.

While MAT can be effective, Legacy strongly encourages progression toward full sobriety—avoiding “Cali Sober” models that replace one substance with another.

Specialized Opioid Use Disorder Treatment Options

Our specialized opioid addiction programs utilize medication-assisted treatment (MAT) when clinically appropriate:

• Buprenorphine: Used to reduce withdrawal and cravings in opioid use disorder.
• Methadone: Although effective, Legacy Healing encourages clients to achieve complete abstinence from all MAT to reach full sobriety, avoiding “Cali Sober” trends.
• Outpatient MAT programs: Administer medications while integrating counseling and behavioral therapy.

MAT is supervised by medical experts and integrated into our larger philosophy of holistic, sobriety-centered recovery.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Structured Day Treatment for Substance Use Recovery

The partial hospitalization program (PHP) at Legacy Healing Center is often the first full-phase of treatment following medical detoxification. PHP offers intensive, medically informed care without requiring overnight stays, making it ideal for clients who need structure, stability, and therapeutic engagement in the early stages of recovery.

What to Expect in a PHP

Clients in our PHP receive a minimum of 25 hours per week of clinical services, which may include:

• Individual and group therapy
• Behavioral interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational enhancement therapy that focus on modifying attitudes and behaviors related to drug use to improve treatment outcomes
• Family therapy to strengthen relationships and address enabling behaviors
• Educational workshops focused on relapse prevention, stress management, and emotional regulation
• 12-step integration and peer-led support groups
• Recreational therapy and wellness activities for healthy lifestyle development

Clients often reside in our community housing, offering a safe, substance-free environment that supports social connection and accountability.

Who Benefits Most from PHP?

PHP is typically recommended for individuals who:

• Have completed detox but still need close clinical monitoring
• Do not require 24-hour residential care but benefit from intensive day programming
• Lack supportive home environments or are at higher risk of relapse
• Are beginning treatment for the first time and need a structured foundation

By combining medical oversight with targeted psychotherapy, PHP empowers clients to build coping strategies and reframe behaviors without sacrificing autonomy.

Clinical Value of PHP in the Step-Down Model

As a bridge between inpatient and outpatient care, PHP is essential for maintaining progress and avoiding early relapse. Clients in PHP can begin to reclaim responsibilities like work or family involvement, while still benefiting from daily therapeutic structure.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Sustaining Recovery with Flexibility and Support

The intensive outpatient program (IOP) at Legacy Healing Center provides a vital next step for individuals transitioning out of more intensive care settings like PHP or inpatient rehab. IOP allows clients to maintain clinical engagement while beginning to reintegrate into their daily lives, responsibilities, and routines.

Recovery doesn’t end when inpatient care does. IOP ensures continued therapeutic structure during the most vulnerable phase of early sobriety.

What Does IOP Include?

Our IOP offers a minimum of 9 hours of clinical care per week, including:

• Individual counseling to explore personal triggers, progress, and barriers
• Group therapy sessions focused on peer connection, skill-building, and relapse prevention
• 12-step and other peer support meetings
• Family therapy and education to strengthen the home support system
• Case management and recovery coaching
• Sober social events and community-building activities

Clients in IOP can live at home or in sober housing provided through our community partnerships, depending on their needs and goals.

Who Should Consider IOP?

IOP is designed for individuals who:

• Have completed detox or PHP and are ready for a less intensive but still structured program
• Have work, school, or family commitments but need ongoing therapeutic support
• Require a bridge between full-day treatment and independent living
• Are at risk of relapse and benefit from regular clinical touchpoints

Clinical Role of IOP in Addiction Treatment

As part of the step-down model, IOP allows for continuity of care while promoting increased independence. Therapists work closely with each client to:

• Monitor drug cravings and mental health symptoms
• Adjust the treatment plan as needed
• Address challenges like stressful situations, lifestyle restructuring, and decision making

Research shows that clients who engage in IOP following PHP or inpatient rehab have higher rates of sustained recovery and lower rates of opioid overdose or relapse.

Outpatient Program (OP)

Flexible Care for Continued Recovery

The outpatient program (OP) at Legacy Healing Center offers structured support for individuals who have completed higher levels of care, such as IOP or PHP, and are transitioning toward full independence. As the final phase of our clinical step-down model, OP ensures that clients maintain therapeutic contact while rebuilding their personal, professional, and family lives.

What the Outpatient Program Offers

Our OP includes approximately 1–3 hours per week of therapy and recovery support, including:

• Individual counseling to reinforce coping strategies and track goals
• Optional group therapy sessions and support groups
• Family check-ins or brief family counseling as needed
• Relapse prevention planning and lifestyle monitoring
• Integration with peer support networks like Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous

Clients typically live independently or in sober housing and attend appointments on a flexible schedule that accommodates their work, education, or parenting responsibilities.

Who Is Best Suited for OP?

OP is appropriate for individuals who:

• Have completed detox, PHP, and IOP
• Are experiencing stability in their mental and emotional health
• Have strong external support systems, but still benefit from clinical guidance
• Are reintegrating into work, school, or family life, but remain committed to long-term recovery

Outpatient Support for Lifelong Recovery

Though minimal in structure, OP plays a vital role in preventing relapse. Therapists remain actively involved in adjusting the treatment plan and addressing late-stage challenges like:

• Triggers in daily environments
• Stress management in high-responsibility roles
• Avoiding complacency during prolonged sobriety
• Continued engagement in self-help groups and aftercare services

Outpatient care helps clients stay focused, connected, and accountable as they build a life free from addiction.

Family Program and Involvement in Addiction Recovery

Addiction often affects the entire family system. We offer family therapy and education as part of every level of care. This includes training on identifying enabling behaviors, improving communication, and setting healthy boundaries. Including families helps sustain lifestyle changes that support sobriety.

Addiction affects more than just the individual—it impacts entire families. At Legacy Healing Center, we believe that family therapy is a crucial component of comprehensive substance use disorder treatment. Rebuilding trust, improving communication, and addressing codependent or enabling behaviors are key to supporting lasting recovery.

Why Family Involvement Matters

Research shows that individuals who receive ongoing support from engaged families are more likely to:

• Complete treatment successfully
• Experience fewer relapses
• Maintain long-term sobriety
• Improve mental health and self-esteem

Family members often carry emotional wounds, confusion, or guilt. Through guided therapy, we help families move from dysfunction to mutual understanding.

Our Family Support Services Include:

• Family counseling sessions with licensed mental health professionals
• Educational workshops on addiction, boundaries, enabling, and communication
• Support groups for spouses, parents, and children impacted by addiction
• Coordination with self-help groups like Al-Anon and Nar-Anon
• Integration of family into the treatment plan, relapse prevention, and discharge planning

When the family heals, the recovery deepens. Our goal is to equip loved ones with tools to support—not sabotage—healing.

Preparing Families for the Recovery Process

We empower families to:

• Recognize and disengage from high-risk behaviors
• Set healthy boundaries
• Support without control
• Develop a recovery-oriented home environment
• Stay engaged through aftercare and alumni services

This level of engagement helps reduce stigma, increase accountability, and foster mutual healing.

Aftercare and Relapse Prevention

Sustaining Recovery Beyond Rehab

Recovery doesn’t end when treatment does. At Legacy Healing Center, we prioritize aftercare planning and relapse prevention as integral components of each client’s treatment plan. These services provide the continued structure, accountability, and emotional support necessary to maintain sobriety in everyday life.

⚠️ Relapse is not a failure—it’s a clinical risk that can be mitigated through proactive, personalized support.

What Our Aftercare Services Include:

• Regular follow-up sessions with clinicians to monitor progress and adjust treatment goals
• Ongoing access to support groups and self help groups like Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, and alumni networks
• Counseling for lifestyle transitions, employment re-entry, or family reintegration
• Personalized relapse prevention plans, developed with mental health professionals
• Access to recovery coaches and peer mentorship programs
• Optional check-in services for accountability and early intervention

Relapse Prevention Strategies We Emphasize

Our clinical team works with clients to:

• Identify triggers and stressful situations that could lead to cravings
• Strengthen coping mechanisms through motivational enhancement therapy and CBT
• Improve emotional regulation and decision-making
• Reconnect with meaning and purpose in sobriety
• Foster long-term relationships with mental health services and community recovery resources

Studies show that structured aftercare significantly reduces the risk of opioid overdose, treatment dropout, and recurring substance use.

Empowering a Lifetime of Recovery

Relapse prevention isn’t just about saying no to drugs or alcohol. It’s about developing a sustainable, fulfilling lifestyle rooted in health, community, and purpose. Our aftercare services are available long after formal treatment ends—because healing is a lifelong process.

Payment and Insurance Options for Addiction Treatment

At Legacy Healing Center, we believe that access to high-quality addiction treatment should never be limited by financial barriers. That’s why we offer multiple payment options and accept a wide range of insurance plans to support individuals and families navigating the cost of care.

Insurance Coverage for Treatment

We accept most major private insurance carriers as well as Medicare and Medicaid, depending on the treatment level and facility location. Our admissions team will:

• Verify your insurance benefits quickly and confidentially
• Explain what services are covered under your plan
• Provide a clear estimate of any out-of-pocket costs
• Assist with financial paperwork and insurance coordination

⚠️ Admission decisions are based on clinical need, not ability to pay.

Out-of-Pocket and Alternative Payment Options

For those without insurance, we offer self-pay plans and flexible payment structures. We can connect you with:

• Sliding scale options based on financial hardship
• Health financing partners that offer low- or no-interest payment plans
• Assistance with applying for public benefits that may help cover treatment

Why Transparent Cost Matters

Navigating treatment costs can feel overwhelming. Our dedicated financial team works alongside clients and families to ensure that substance use disorder treatment is financially accessible and free from unexpected expenses. We guide you through each step, so you can focus on healing, not billing.

Support and Recovery Resources

Extending Care into the Community

True recovery is sustained not just in treatment centers, but in the community connections and support systems that follow. At Legacy Healing Center, we provide access to a comprehensive network of support and recovery resources that help clients maintain progress long after formal treatment ends.

Ongoing Community Support

We connect clients and families to:

• Self-help groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA)
• Peer-led support groups and alumni gatherings
• Sober housing networks and recovery coaching
• Educational content and resources on relapse prevention, mental health, and personal development
• Our online Recovery Resources Hub, offering updated guides, articles, and referral links

Connection reduces isolation, strengthens accountability, and reinforces purpose in recovery.

Family and Peer Integration

Recovery doesn’t happen in a vacuum. We encourage family members and loved ones to participate in support networks tailored to their experiences. Legacy Healing facilitates ongoing access to:

• Family support groups (onsite and virtual)
• Referrals to Al-Anon, Nar-Anon, and other relevant services
• Counseling to help family systems heal together
