How Bold Steps Provides Mental Health and Addiction Treatment
At Bold Steps Behavioral Health, we provide individualized care plans to address both mental health and addiction, recognizing that these conditions often coexist and require specialized treatment.
Evidence-Based Therapies
Our clinical team uses evidence-based treatments like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). These therapies are designed to help clients manage emotions, change harmful thought patterns, and develop healthier coping strategies.
Medication Management
For clients requiring medication, our psychiatrists provide thorough assessments and closely monitor the effectiveness of prescribed medications. This ensures that clients are receiving the right treatment for their unique needs, whether it’s for mental health, addiction, or both.
Holistic Healing
Our approach includes complementary therapies like yoga, art therapy, and nutrition counseling, supporting the whole person. We focus on healing both the mind and body, providing clients with the tools they need for long-term recovery.
Treatment Programs We Offer:
- Detoxification (Detox) The first step in the recovery journey for many individuals is detox, which helps rid the body of harmful substances. Our medically supervised detox ensures a safe and comfortable process while managing withdrawal symptoms.
- Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) PHP offers intensive, structured care for individuals who need more support than outpatient care but don’t require 24-hour supervision. This program includes daily therapy sessions, counseling, and medical care, allowing individuals to focus on recovery while living at home.
- Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) Our IOP is designed for individuals who need continued support but wish to maintain their work or home responsibilities. This flexible program offers multiple therapy sessions per week, focusing on relapse prevention, coping strategies, and ongoing recovery support.
- Outpatient Program Our outpatient program provides ongoing care for those transitioning from higher levels of treatment or seeking less intensive support. Clients participate in therapy sessions and counseling while managing daily life responsibilities.
- 12-Step Programs Bold Steps incorporates the principles of 12-step programs, such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA), to help individuals build a strong foundation for sobriety through peer support and personal growth.
- Sober Living For individuals in need of a structured living environment during their recovery, our sober living homes offer a safe, drug-free space to practice newly developed coping skills and maintain a supportive community.
- Counseling and Therapy Therapy is a core component of all our treatment programs. We offer individual, group, and family therapy to help clients address the root causes of addiction and mental health disorders. Our therapists use evidence-based approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), to promote lasting change.

PHP, IOP, and Outpatient: Which Program Is Right for You?
Not every person needs the same level of support, and choosing the right program is one of the most important decisions in the recovery process. Here’s a plain-language comparison of our three primary outpatient levels of care.
Program | Time commitment | Structure | Best for |
Partial hospitalization program (PHP) | ~5–6 hours/day, 5 days a week | The most structured outpatient level; clients return home in the evenings | Step-down from inpatient or detox; those needing intensive daily support |
Intensive outpatient program (IOP) | ~3 hours/day, 3–5 days a week | Structured group and individual therapy on a consistent schedule | Moderate support needs; maintaining work, school, or family responsibilities |
Outpatient treatment program | A few hours per week | Flexible individual, group, and family sessions | Step-down from IOP; ongoing maintenance and relapse prevention |
For clients with co-occurring mental health conditions, our dual diagnosis program integrates addiction and mental health treatment at whichever level of care is most appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between PHP and IOP?
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is the more intensive option, typically requiring 25–30 hours of structured treatment per week. An intensive outpatient program (IOP) is less intensive, usually 9–15 hours per week, and is better suited for those who have already stabilized or who need to maintain work or family commitments during treatment. Both are outpatient—clients go home each evening.
How long does an outpatient treatment program last?
Program length varies by individual. PHP typically lasts 4–6 weeks. IOP commonly runs 8–12 weeks. A standard outpatient program may continue for several months depending on clinical progress and goals. Your treatment team will develop a plan based on your specific needs.
Can I keep working while enrolled in a treatment program?
Many clients successfully maintain employment during IOP and outpatient treatment. IOP sessions are often scheduled in the morning or evening to accommodate work schedules. PHP requires a more significant daily time commitment, so it may not be compatible with full-time work. Our admissions team can help you weigh your options.

Yes, most commercial insurance plans cover outpatient behavioral health treatment, including PHP and IOP. Coverage levels vary by plan. Bold Steps will verify your insurance benefits at no cost before you begin. Call (717) 896-1880 or use our online insurance verification form to get started.
