Levels of Care
Southwest Addiction Centers offers several levels of outpatient care in Albuquerque. We will help you choose a program based on your symptoms, responsibilities, support system, and recovery goals.
PHP
Our partial hospitalization program, or PHP, provides structured treatment during the day without requiring an overnight stay. It offers a higher level of support for people who need consistent care while living at home or in a supportive environment.
IOP
Our intensive outpatient program, or IOP, combines structured treatment with greater flexibility. It may be a good option for people who want to continue working, attending school, or caring for their families while receiving ongoing support.
OP
Outpatient services provide continued care with fewer weekly treatment hours. This program can help you maintain progress, strengthen coping skills, and receive support as you return to a more independent routine.

Questions about insurance and cost should not keep you from asking for help. Our team can review your insurance benefits, explain your available payment options, and help you understand possible costs before treatment begins. Coverage varies by insurance plan and medical necessity.
