A step down from the TLP program, Day Treatment is the most intensive non-residential program for individual’s requiring a high level of care.
The Intensive Outpatient Treatment (IOP) provides a structure for specialized services on a scheduled basis.
The Outpatient Program provides non-residential comprehensive services with evaluation, treatment, case management and recovery services for clients with less problematic substance abuse related behavior than would be found in a residential or day treatment program.
BISAC has the capability of referring clients needing transition from TLP to a less intensive level of care through placement arrangements into our PPWC or Clean and Sober House.
