• Not a fit if: Adults who need detox; require 24-hour; are looking for primarily one-on-one therapy and little group time.

What to expect

Developing your care plan

• **Prescreen and initial assessment **: Prior to admission, clients take part in a 20-minute phone prescreen to determine whether the facility's level of care can safely meet their needs. During admission, an on-site intake starts the clinical chart, and a biopsychosocial assessment takes place during the first week to help guide treatment planning.
• Individualized treatment planning: Clients work individually with a counselor to determine treatment goals based on current symptoms, triggers, level-of-care needs, and concerns the client may want to address.

Who you will meet with

• Individual counseling and group therapy: Clients receive about one hour of individual counseling per week, and group clinicians lead sessions focused on tools for managing mental health and addiction symptoms. This may include somatic exercises and physical grounding techniques.
• Case management and practical support: Case managers support clients by helping with practical needs like getting an ID or glasses, scheduling doctor's appointments, and arranging next steps after formal treatment is complete. Operations staff interact with clients while coordinating supportive housing, meals, and transportation.
• Daily support and clinical oversight: Behavioral technicians help with daily needs within the program while the clinical director may work with clients when clinical needs arise.

Typical schedule

• PHP: The PHP runs from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. five days a week, with 50-minute groups and 10-minute breaks between them. The IOP includes three hours of treatment per day, 3 or 5 days per week.
• Virtual IOP and group sizes: Virtual IOP takes place from 6-9 p.m. for clients whose life responsibilities require them to participate in evening treatment. Morning groups typically have about 15 clients, while afternoon groups are usually smaller, often with two to five clients. Virtual groups have a maximum of about 20 people.
• Group-based clinical treatment: Group therapy is the primary means of care and focuses on managing mental health and addiction symptoms. Sessions may cover coping and recovery strategies, trigger and stress management, somatic exercises, and physical grounding. Clients are not required to participate in group discussions but it is encouraged.

Living experiences and amenities

• Supportive housing: Optional supportive housing is available for PHP clients who may need additional support while transitioning from detox or residential treatment. Though housing is not considered residential treatment, meals and transportation are coordinated by the operations team.

Aftercare

• Alumni support: Clients have the opportunity to stay connected through the alumni program and an open-door policy. This policy allows former clients to reach back out to the facility and reconnect with a clinician or former group connections when appropriate.
• Step-down care: After completing IOP, clients may transition to weekly outpatient counseling for continued support.

Pre-admissions experience

We conducted a series of pre-admissions calls, the most recent on August 13, 2026, to evaluate response time, transparency, and patient experience.

Calling New Hope Healthcare was a warm and comfortable experience. The admissions representative was kind, knowledgeable, and open to questions, providing detailed answers about treatment without making the conversation feel salesy or rushed.
