Levels of Care at The Garden Recovery & Wellness
Substance Use Disorder Levels of Care
01
The Garden’s Outpatient Program offers weekly or bi-weekly counseling and skills groups to maintain momentum after higher-intensity care concludes. Clients balance work, school, or parenting while refining relapse-prevention tactics, adjusting medication management, and checking in with therapists—an agile bridge to sustained addiction recovery and improved mental health.
02
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Meeting three to five days per week, the IOP program layers individual therapy, small-group processing, and holistic sessions into a schedule that still accommodates work or school. This mid-level of care strengthens relapse-prevention skills and addresses co-occurring mental health needs, bridging Partial Care and standard outpatient addiction treatment for sustained recovery.
03
Partial Care
This full-day, non-residential level of care operates five days a week, combining individual therapy, small-group sessions, and holistic activities under the close supervision of clinical staff. PC bridges medical detox and intensive outpatient programs, giving clients concentrated addiction treatment and mental-health support while they begin practicing real-world routines.
Mental Health Treatment Levels of Care
01
Outpatient Program
Ideal for step-down care or mild symptom management, Mental Health OP offers weekly therapist check-ins and targeted skills groups that fit around a full work or school schedule. Clients fine-tune coping strategies, monitor medications, and reinforce progress made in higher levels of mental health treatment, all within The Garden’s discreet, boutique setting.
02
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Running three to five days per week, this clinically focused track delivers individual therapy, group process, and psychiatry-driven medication management for depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other conditions. Clients receive robust mental health treatment and skills training while continuing work or school, making IOP a flexible bridge between higher-acuity care and standard outpatient support.

Frequently Asked Questions About Levels of Care at The Garden
How is the appropriate substance use disorder level of care determined?
A comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment evaluates medical stability, withdrawal risk, trauma history, and co-occurring mental health conditions.[1] Assessment findings guide the clinical team in assigning each individual to Partial Care, Intensive Outpatient (IOP), or standard Outpatient (OP), creating a safe starting point and a clear path through the continuum of care. If needed, individuals may be referred to a partner detox facility for stabilization prior to beginning at The Garden.
Is movement allowed between substance-use and mental-health tracks?
Yes. Because substance use and mental health conditions often overlap, an individual may transition from a substance-use track to the Mental-Health IOP or OP (or vice versa) without disrupting therapeutic rapport or existing treatment plans. [2]
Does health insurance cover every level, including Partial Care and IOP?
Most commercial policies reimburse out-of-network addiction treatment programs such as Partial Care, IOP, and OP. The Garden admissions team verifies benefits, explains any co-payments, and files claims directly, allowing participants to focus on recovery rather than paperwork.
How does Partial Care differ from inpatient rehab?
Partial Care (PC) offers comprehensive therapy, medical supervision, and holistic services, allowing participants to return home each night and continue fulfilling their work and family responsibilities. Inpatient rehab, by contrast, requires 24-hour residence. PC, therefore, delivers hospital-level intensity without on-site housing.
What follows the completion of the Intensive Outpatient Program?
Most graduates step down to weekly OP sessions and alumni support groups to reinforce relapse-prevention skills. [3] Ongoing medication management and periodic family sessions help sustain long-term health and well-being.
