Compare Addiction Treatment Programs in Ohio

Treatment needs can change throughout recovery. Use this overview to compare the structure and purpose of each program. Our admissions team can help you understand which option may fit after a clinical assessment.

  • Medical detox: 24/7 medically supervised withdrawal support before continuing care when appropriate.
  • Inpatient treatment: Live-in, 24/7 structured treatment for people who need a highly supported setting.
  • Partial hospitalization program (PHP): Full-day treatment without overnight residence, often used after inpatient treatment or when daily clinical support is needed.
  • Intensive outpatient program (IOP): Structured treatment several days per week while clients continue living at home.
  • Sober living: Recovery-supportive housing that can complement clinical care; it is not a substitute for treatment.
  • Aftercare: Ongoing recovery planning and support after a primary treatment program.

Some people need 24/7 medical support. Others need structured therapy while continuing parts of daily life. Our admissions team can help you understand which level of care may fit your needs. Same-day admissions may be available.

What Each Level of Addiction Treatment Includes

🔵 Medical Detox (Luxury Detox) Medical detox is the first step for individuals whose bodies have become physically dependent on alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, or other substances. At Legacy Healing Center Ohio, detox is delivered in a private, luxury setting with 24/7 medical supervision, continuous clinical monitoring, and Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) when clinically appropriate. Our detox program runs 5–10 days on average and is integrated with dual diagnosis screening from day one — so any underlying mental health conditions are identified and addressed immediately, not after stabilization.

Best for: Individuals with physical dependency who need medically supervised withdrawal management before entering a residential or outpatient program.

🟣 Inpatient Residential Treatment (Luxury Rehab) Our residential inpatient program is a 30, 45, or 60-day live-in treatment program delivered in a luxury, resort-style environment. Clients receive intensive, physician-led care that includes individual therapy multiple times per week, group therapy, dual diagnosis treatment, psychiatric medication management, trauma-informed care, MAT when appropriate, and holistic wellness support including mindfulness, yoga, nutrition, and Brain Paint neurofeedback. Extended stays are available for individuals with complex dual diagnosis conditions or chronic relapse histories.

Best for: Individuals who need full-time clinical structure, 24/7 medical oversight, and a private setting away from environmental triggers.

🟠 Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) delivers residential-level clinical intensity — full-day structured programming — without requiring an overnight stay. Clients attend treatment 5 days per week for several hours per day, receiving physician oversight, individual and group therapy, psychiatric support, dual diagnosis treatment, and relapse prevention planning. PHP typically runs 2–6 weeks and serves as the bridge between inpatient residential care and intensive outpatient treatment.

What’s Included:

  • Physician-led daily clinical programming
  • Individual therapy sessions
  • Group therapy and process groups
  • Psychiatric evaluation and medication management
  • Dual diagnosis treatment (mental health + addiction simultaneously)
  • Relapse prevention planning
  • Aftercare coordination


Best for:
Individuals stepping down from residential treatment, those at high relapse risk who need daily clinical support, and clients managing co-occurring mental health conditions who are not yet ready for standard outpatient care.

🟡 Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) provides structured, high-quality addiction and mental health treatment while allowing clients to live at home and maintain work, school, or family responsibilities. IOP runs 8–16 weeks with several hours of programming per day, multiple days per week. All sessions are physician-led and include individual therapy, group counseling, dual diagnosis support, MAT oversight, and ongoing relapse prevention work. Flexible scheduling is available to support professional and personal commitments.

What’s Included:

  • Individual counseling sessions
  • Group therapy and peer support
  • Psychiatric oversight and medication management
  • Dual diagnosis care for co-occurring conditions
  • Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) when clinically appropriate
  • Relapse prevention and trigger identification
  • Family involvement as clinically appropriate


Best for:
Individuals stepping down from PHP or inpatient, those with stable home environments who need ongoing structured care, and working professionals or young adults who need treatment flexibility without sacrificing clinical quality.

🟢 Standard Outpatient Standard outpatient care is the least intensive level — typically 1–2 sessions per week — and is designed for individuals who have completed a higher level of care and are building independence in recovery. Sessions include individual therapy, group counseling, medication management, and relapse prevention support. This level works best as part of a step-down plan following IOP or PHP.

Best for: Individuals in stable recovery who need continued clinical check-ins and accountability as they transition back into daily life.

🔷 Sober Living Our sober living program provides a structured, supportive residential environment for clients transitioning out of inpatient treatment. Sober living bridges the gap between the structure of residential care and full independent living, offering peer community, accountability, and continued access to outpatient services.

Best for: Individuals who have completed inpatient or PHP but need a supervised, sober environment before returning home.

⚪ Aftercare & Alumni Support Long-term recovery requires ongoing support beyond formal treatment. Our aftercare programs — recommended for a minimum of 6–12 months post-discharge — include alumni connections, continued outpatient check-ins, relapse prevention reinforcement, and referral coordination for ongoing community resources.

Best for: All clients post-discharge who want sustained support, community connection, and accountability in long-term recovery.
