ILWU

Our outpatient detox services may be an ideal fit for some clients going through the initial withdrawal process. While outpatient detox services are not suitable for everyone, such as those with severe symptoms requiring around-the-clock medical support, both inpatient and outpatient detox programs are covered by ILWU. If outpatient detox isn’t right for you, we can help you find inpatient detox as a precursor to one of our programs. 

The goal of any detox program is to help you get off of substances safely, with lower levels of discomfort and a reduced potential for relapse. Most of the time, detox of any kind lasts for 1-2 weeks or less.

The partial hospitalization program (PHP) at Peninsula Health offers the most intensive and immersive outpatient addiction treatment. PHP clients at Peninsula Health attend treatment Monday-Friday, six hours per day. Also called partial day treatment, PHP can be ideal for:

• Clients seeking an outpatient alternative to inpatient rehab.
• Those who do not need the around-the-clock supervision of inpatient rehab.
• Those able to manage symptoms, like drug cravings, outside of treatment hours.

At Peninsula Health, PHP treatment schedules include twice-weekly individual therapy, regular group therapy sessions, and other services outlined in your treatment plan.

While PHP clients attend treatment for a total of about 30 hours per week, intensive outpatient program (IOP) clients at Peninsula Health attend treatment for about 15 hours per week. Clients in our IOP in Palos Verdes, California, still come to Peninsula Health five days per week Monday-Friday, but for about three hours per day rather than six. The lower time commitment required for IOP clients provides additional time and flexibility for other obligations, like work or school.

Standard outpatient treatment generally requires even fewer hours per week than PHP or IOP. You will get an individualized treatment plan as a Peninsula Health client, which will outline your treatment schedule and requirements.
