Treatment Programs at PMHL Rehab
A full continuum of clinically rigorous addiction care, designed by clinicians who built each level around what helps patients actually steady - and stay steady.
Medical Detox
Medical detox at PMHL Rehab runs three to seven days in a dedicated wing of the East Fourth Street campus, with a physician on site daily and nurses on the wing around the clock. We accept detox admissions at any hour. A nurse completes vitals and comfort medication within the first twenty minutes of arrival; the intake paperwork waits.
Our protocols cover alcohol, opioids (including fentanyl), benzodiazepines, stimulants, and polysubstance presentations. Medication-assisted treatment - buprenorphine, methadone bridging, naltrexone - is available and discussed openly. We monitor withdrawal with CIWA and COWS scoring and adjust comfort protocols every two hours through the acute phase.
Detox is the corridor that makes treatment possible. Most patients transition directly into residential by day four.
Residential Treatment
Residential care at PMHL runs thirty to ninety days across 54 beds. The clinical structure follows a balanced-recovery model: equal time for clinical work, physical movement, creative expression, and reflective practice. Days begin at 7:00 a.m. and end with reflection at 9:30 p.m.
Every resident is assigned a primary therapist, a case manager, and a peer-mentor pairing in the first 72 hours. Standardized outcome assessments occur at admission, mid-stay, discharge, and at 90- and 365-day follow-ups.
Outpatient Program
Outpatient care at PMHL is structured in three tiers and supports both step-downs from residential and direct admissions from the community.
Partial Hospitalization (PHP)
Two to four weeks of six-hour clinical days, Monday through Friday. PHP suits patients who no longer need overnight care but still require a full therapeutic schedule and medical oversight.
Intensive Outpatient (IOP)
Eight to twelve weeks of three-hour sessions, three to four days per week. Evening IOP runs 6 to 9 p.m. for working professionals.
Standard Outpatient
Weekly individual therapy, monthly psychiatric follow-up, and alumni group access. The maintenance tier that sustains recovery over months and years.
Dual Diagnosis
Most patients who arrive at PMHL carry more than one diagnosis - depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, ADHD, or unresolved trauma. Treating the addiction alone leaves the underlying architecture intact, which is why every admission receives a psychiatric consult within forty-eight hours.
Dr. Chen-Whitfield and the psychiatric team coordinate with the therapy staff in shared rounds three times per week. Medication adjustments, therapy modality selection, and trauma-focused work are sequenced together so one track does not undercut the other.
