How care is structured
Programs Differ by How Much Time You Spend With Us
Each program at Exist is a level of care, and the difference is how much time you spend with us each week. PHP is about six hours a day, Monday through Friday. IOP is about three hours a day, three to five days a week, in person or virtually. Outpatient 1:1 is one-on-one therapy, usually weekly. Dual diagnosis care, for mental health and substance use together, runs in PHP and IOP.
Not everyone's path to recovery needs to look the same.
