Services

Individualized Treatment

Every case of addiction is a special case. We all have different stories and experiences that shape who we are and our habits as well. That’s why at Directions, each one of our alumni is thoroughly evaluated and will have a treatment program developed specifically for them.

For our Philadelphia location, our three main services are PHP, IOP and OP. Each one of these services follows a similar structure, but is adjusted to best suit the needs of the patient.

PHP – Partial Hospitalization Program

Our partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a comprehensive experience for those seeking structure while recovering from a substance use disorder. Providing hands-on guidance and targeted approaches to therapy, participants in PHP can expect to receive the care and treatment necessary to improve coping mechanisms and reduce the risk of relapse.

IOP – Intensive Outpatient

After the successful completion of a partial hospitalization program, our intensive outpatient program (IOP) provides a continued course of care for those committed to staying clean, sober and developing lifelong recovery.

OP – Outpatient

Outpatient addiction treatment programs are designed for the patient who does not require a residential rehabilitation program, but still can benefit from a concentrated treatment plan, an individualized treatment approach. These outpatient drug rehab and outpatient alcohol treatment programs combine education on mind and body development during recovery; group, individual, and family therapy; and a family education component.

Which in my opinion, are all essential ingredients pertaining to early on and continuous sobriety!“

“Overall amazing place. The staff is VERY supportive and caring, real personable and easy to spill your heart out to. The place is very clean, organized and comfortable. Speaking for myself as an individual who just moved here from a different town, everyone in this facility has made the transition for me very comforting and smooth. There’s not one person in this facility who hasn’t gone out of their way for me.“

~Paige P.
“I have never been able to put six months together in the whole last decade of my use. I came to directions and hate to sound corny but was directed on how to not only stay clean but how to be happy and live my life with integrity and contentment..I have had a lot of ups and downs, learning how to live life again and they have put up with my mood swings and have helped me to keep pushing through. I’m truly grateful for this place and the help I’ve received here, good stuff.”

~Merissa M.
“Fantastic program. Staff was down to earth and made me feel like a person again. Thanks to them I have the longest period of sobriety I’ve ever had.“
