Understanding Levels of Care

How to Read Your Quiz Result

This quiz asks a handful of questions about your substance use, your daily responsibilities, your support at home, and how past attempts at treatment have gone. It then points you toward the level of outpatient care that usually fits people in a similar situation. It is guidance, not a diagnosis. A licensed clinician confirms the right plan during a free assessment.

Partial Hospitalization (PHP) is our most structured option. Programming runs most of the day, several days a week. PHP suits people who need daily support, who are early in recovery, or who have relapsed after a lighter level of care but do not need a hospital bed.

Intensive Outpatient (IOP) meets fewer hours per week, often in the morning or evening. It works well when you have stable housing and some support at home and you need to keep working, studying, or parenting while you get treatment. Many people step down to IOP after finishing PHP.

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) pairs FDA-approved medication with counseling for opioid and alcohol use disorder. Medication reduces cravings and withdrawal so the therapy work can actually take hold. MAT can run alongside PHP or IOP, or on its own.

If your result is not what you expected, that is common and it is not a problem. Levels of care are a starting point, not a sentence. People move between them as life changes. Call (617) 341-9944 and we will talk it through, verify your insurance, and help you decide the next step at your pace.
