Understanding Levels of Care
Addiction treatment follows the ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) framework. Each level addresses a different stage of recovery.
24/7 medical supervision to safely manage withdrawal. Required for alcohol, benzodiazepines, and severe opioid dependence.
Live at the facility with round-the-clock care. Daily therapy, groups, and structured activities in a substance-free environment.
Structured treatment 3–5 days per week while living at home. Ideal as primary treatment or step-down from residential care.
Weekly individual or group therapy for maintenance and relapse prevention. Supports long-term recovery after higher levels of care.
