Addiction and Mental Health Services Available Through Longleaf
Longleaf provides multiple levels of care to match the severity and complexity of each person’s needs. A clinical assessment helps determine whether a person needs intensive residential support, structured outpatient programming, or a less intensive option. We offer the following levels of care:
- Partial hospitalization programming (PHP): A PHP is a structured, short-term, intensive day treatment program that provides several hours of therapeutic services each day while allowing patients to return home in the evenings.
- Intensive outpatient programming (IOP): Our IOP is a flexible treatment option that offers several weekly hours of group and individual therapy, enabling clients to maintain work, school, or family responsibilities while receiving ongoing clinical support.
- Medical detox: Medical detox is a medically supervised process that safely manages acute withdrawal symptoms from drugs or alcohol, using medications and monitoring to stabilize patients physically and prepare them for further treatment.
- Virtual IOP: Our virtual IOP delivers the same core components of intensive outpatient care, such as therapy and psychoeducation, through a secure online platform, allowing participants to attend sessions from home.
- Outpatient and aftercare support: Outpatient and aftercare support encompasses ongoing, lower-intensity counseling, check-ins, and relapse-prevention resources that help individuals sustain their recovery after completing higher levels of care and transition back to daily life.
Some locations vary in services, so it’s important to confirm offerings for each Longleaf Recovery facility. Reach out to our team to learn more.
Treatment at Longleaf includes several evidence-based therapies, including:
- Individual therapy: Individual therapy at Longleaf Recovery provides one-on-one sessions in which licensed clinicians help clients address root causes, limiting beliefs, and underlying behaviors that contribute to addiction and mental health challenges
- Group sessions: Group sessions serve as a primary treatment modality at Longleaf, offering facilitated peer support that helps clients enhance interpersonal skills, process feelings, and practice positive coping behaviors in a safe, shared environment
- Family therapy: Family therapy addresses relational dynamics and promotes comprehensive recovery for the entire support system
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): CBT helps clients identify and modify negative thought patterns and behaviors to build healthier coping mechanisms and prevent relapse
- Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT): DBT helps clients regulate intense emotions, tolerate distress without turning to substances, and improve interpersonal relationships through core skills like mindfulness and emotion regulation
These approaches work together to address the personal, relational, and behavioral dimensions of recovery. Family involvement can play an important role in long-term outcomes, particularly for individuals managing co-occurring conditions.

When evaluating Longleaf locations, consider the following:

- Work, school, and family responsibilities
