Levels of Care Available at Buffalo Plains Recovery

Medical Detox

Medical detox may be the first step for adults withdrawing from alcohol, opioids, fentanyl, stimulants, prescription medications, or other substances. Our medically supervised detox program provides 24/7 monitoring, clinical oversight, and structured support to help clients stabilize safely before continuing treatment.

Residential Treatment

Residential treatment offers a structured, supportive environment where clients can focus fully on recovery. Care may include individual therapy, group counseling, relapse prevention, life skills development, family support, and support for co-occurring mental health concerns.

Partial Hospitalization Program

Partial Hospitalization Program, or PHP, provides structured daytime treatment for clients who need more support than traditional outpatient care but do not require 24/7 residential supervision. PHP may be recommended as a step-down option after residential treatment or as a more intensive level of support.

Intensive Outpatient Program

Intensive Outpatient Program, or IOP, offers structured treatment with more flexibility than PHP or residential care. IOP may help clients continue therapy, build relapse prevention skills, and stay accountable while managing responsibilities at home, work, or school.

Outpatient Treatment

Outpatient treatment provides continued recovery support with a lower time commitment. Our outpatient addiction recovery services may include individual therapy, group sessions, relapse prevention planning, life skills support, and ongoing recovery guidance.

Continuing Recovery Support

Recovery is an ongoing process. Our team helps clients understand the next steps that may support long-term progress, including continued outpatient care, recovery planning, family support, and community-based resources.
