Addiction and Mental Health Levels of Care at The Lakes

At The Lakes, every step of care is designed to meet you where you are and guide you toward lasting clarity. Whether you’re rebuilding after a difficult season or taking the next step beyond crisis care, our goal is to help you find balance, strength, and a deeper sense of well-being.

Our continuum of care includes detox placement and crisis management for those in acute distress, plus two levels of outpatient treatment.

Each offers a structured yet flexible path toward recovery. Together, they form a bridge between stability and independence, allowing you to progress at your own pace with consistent professional support.

The Importance of Individualized Level of Care Placement

Choosing the most appropriate level of care for individual needs is essential for lasting recovery. Addiction affects everyone differently, so it’s important that treatment is matched to the unique goals and requirements of each client. If a person enters a treatment program that is too much or too little, they may either be overwhelmed and not able to successfully build the stability they need for lasting success. Finding the appropriate level of care means that an individual will have the correct balance of medical assistance, therapeutic support, independence, and real-world practice .

Matching care levels to personal severity, co-occurring conditions, social support, and readiness for change not only improves safety and engagement but also significantly increases the likelihood of maintaining sobriety.

Detox Placement

For some people, the first step in care is getting safely through withdrawal. While The Lakes does not provide detox onsite, our team can help coordinate medical detox or inpatient stabilization at trusted facilities and then support a smooth transition into our programs once you are medically stable.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Levels of Care

What is the difference between PHP and IOP?

Each level offers a different amount of time in treatment and day-to-day structure. PHP is the most intensive: you are at the program most of the day, several days a week, with a full schedule of groups, individual therapy, and psychiatric support. IOP is a step down, with fewer hours on fewer days, so you can keep working, going to school, or handling family responsibilities while still getting consistent support.

How long does treatment usually last?

Most clients participate in programming for two to six months, though the length of stay depends on clinical recommendations and personal goals.

Do you accept insurance?

Yes. The Lakes accepts private pay and out-of-network insurance. Our team assists with verification and reimbursement guidance.

Can I attend therapy while working or going to school?

Absolutely. Our IOP programs are designed with flexible schedules that make it possible to maintain daily responsibilities while continuing treatment.

What conditions do you treat?

The Lakes specializes in mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and burnout, with integrated substance use support when needed.
