Levels of Care

RIDGEVIEW INSTITUTE
provides a comprehensive continuum of care for children, adolescents, and adults with psychiatric, emotional, and addictive disorders. Our inpatient, partial hospitalization, and outpatient treatment options are cost-effective and give patients access to the least restrictive level of care. All programs offer individualized treatment in a supportive and nurturing environment.

Levels of care include:

  • DETOXIFICATION
  • INTENSIVE INPATIENT
  • PARTIAL HOSPITALIZATION
  • INTENSIVE OUTPATIENT
  • RECOVERY RESIDENCE
  • OUTPATIENT COUNSELING
  • CONTINUING CARE

Detoxification
(Inpatient/Ambulatory)
Depending upon clinical need, detoxification from alcohol or drug dependence can be managed in inpatient treatment or in partial hospitalization.

Intensive Inpatient
Some patients require the safety and security of 24-hour medical care. Our inpatient programs allow patients to begin treatment in an intensive and medically monitored therapeutic environment.

Partial Hospitalization
Partial hospitalization is an option for patients who need more support and structure than outpatient treatment can provide, but do not require 24-hour medical supervision. Ridgeview's partial hospitalization programs offer the same quality of clinical care as our inpatient programs and allow patients to return home in the evening. Adults in the PHP level may reside in our Recovery Residence. The program is available Monday through Friday; a typical schedule is six to eight hours per day.

Intensive Outpatient
Our intensive outpatient programs offer a flexible schedule of treatment - typically three hours per day - allowing patients to live at home and maintain a work schedule. The program is available Monday through Friday with day and evening hours.

Recovery Residence
Ridgeview's Recovery Residence offers supportive community living for adults in our partial hospitalization treatment programs. Community living gives patients the opportunity to work on restoring the balance between work, family, and leisure while still in treatment. Whether they are in the recovery process for addiction, eating disorders, depression or another illness, patients develop a bond of community and a partnership in healing. The residence includes male and female dormitory-style quarters, staff support, and 24-hour medical on-call. We also offer a separate residence for young adult males, ages 18 to 26.

Outpatient Counseling
Ridgeview has an extensive network of clinicians to help find the right placement for patients who need a referral for individual outpatient therapy.

Continuing Care
The treatment team works closely with each patient to develop a continuing care plan that will solidify the gains made in treatment and ensure that the healing process continues. This plan may include aftercare support groups at Ridgeview or additional treatment or support services in the patient's home community.
