Outpatient Rehab in San Antonio, TX

Outpatient rehab in San Antonio lets you get real treatment for addiction while you keep living at home, working, and caring for the people who depend on you. At New Day Recovery Services, that means a full continuum of care that runs from medically supervised detox through PHP, our intensive outpatient program (IOP), and virtual options. You can find the level that fits your life instead of pausing it.

Our Levels of Outpatient Care

Recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all, so we built a continuum you can move through at your own pace.

Here’s where each level fits. Follow any link to see that program in detail.

IOP vs. PHP: which level is right for you?

Both programs are outpatient, so you sleep at home either way.

The difference is intensity. PHP gives you more structured hours during the day, while IOP asks for fewer hours a week so you can hold down a job or class schedule. Here’s a side-by-side to help you picture the fit.

Who is Outpatient Rehab For?

Outpatient care works well for adults who have a stable, safe place to live and want treatment that fits around their responsibilities. We see working professionals, veterans and first responders, students, parents, and people stepping down from detox or a higher level of care. If you’re not sure it’s the right fit, that’s exactly the kind of thing our team can talk through with you.

Your days in treatment center on group and individual therapy, skills for handling triggers and cravings, and support for any co-occurring mental health needs. We build your plan around your goals rather than a template, and we adjust the level of care as you move forward.

The Difference Between Inpatient And Outpatient Treatment Programs

An outpatient treatment program will include many of the same services as an inpatient addiction program. The primary difference is that clients do not live at the rehab facility. Instead, clients attend half-day sessions several times a week. Since outpatient programs are more flexible, clients can continue to work or attend school while in treatment.
