Day Treatment

Structured treatment most of the day, several days a week, without overnight stays.

In the context of addiction treatment:
Similar intensity to partial hospitalization but may vary by program.

What to know:

  • Good for people who need strong structure but can sleep safely at home or in sober living.

  • Often includes groups, individual therapy, psychiatry, and case management.

Example:
A client attends treatment from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday–Friday, then returns to a sober home each evening.
