Waterside Recovery Center

About Waterside Recovery Center

Waterside Recovery Center is a structured outpatient program that offers a wide range of services for adults dealing with substance use disorders along with related mental health concerns. The center provides three levels of care, each with a different level of intensity: partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and outpatient (OP). Treatment starts with a detailed evaluation by a licensed therapist, who works with each client to create an individualized plan designed to address their specific needs and goals.

The PHP level of care, sometimes called day treatment, is the most intensive option available at Waterside. It is intended for people who benefit from daily clinical support but do not require round-the-clock supervision. In PHP, clients attend treatment for several hours each day, multiple times per week. Programming may include evidence-based approaches tailored to the individual, combining one-on-one counseling with skilled therapists, group therapy that strengthens peer connection and practical coping skills, and complementary holistic services such as art therapy, mindfulness practices, and yoga.

The IOP, known as the afternoon treatment program, is geared toward individuals who have finished a higher level of care or who need scheduling flexibility to manage work, school, or other responsibilities. IOP includes planned sessions several times per week featuring both individual and group therapy, along with life skills development and ongoing support provided by caring staff members. This level helps clients maintain momentum while staying engaged in treatment.

The outpatient program is designed for adults who are ready to maintain long-term recovery after completing more intensive care. OP provides the greatest level of flexibility, with fewer scheduled individual and group therapy meetings. Clients typically focus on relapse prevention, strengthening skills gained during earlier levels of treatment, and staying connected through alumni opportunities and support from peers who share similar wellness and recovery experiences.

At Waterside Recovery, progress is tracked throughout the course of treatment. The team monitors each client’s development and updates the individualized plan as needed. Family participation is also welcomed, and family therapy is offered for clients and their loved ones who have been affected by addiction, with sessions aimed at improving communication, rebuilding trust and understanding, and supporting healing within the family system.
