It depends on you. Medical detox usually lasts three to seven days. Residential typically runs thirty to ninety days — closer to ninety for opioid recovery and dual diagnosis, closer to thirty if you are stepping in from a recent outpatient program. Partial hospitalization runs two to four weeks; intensive outpatient eight to twelve weeks. Our clinical team will recommend a length based on your assessment, and we will revisit that plan together every week.

Most major insurance plans cover medical detox, residential, PHP, and IOP at NHBH. After your call, we verify your specific benefits (deductible, out-of-pocket maximum, co-insurance) and walk you through what your cost will look like in plain English — before you make any decision. If you are self-pay or underinsured, we have a sliding-scale fund built from the founding coalition that helps roughly one in seven admissions each year.

Yes. Scheduled weekend visits begin in week two of residential. Our family-visiting area was designed for actual conversations — not a lobby with vending machines. Family therapy sessions are scheduled separately during the week and can happen in person or by video for relatives outside the Valley. We will help your family understand what is happening clinically so they can participate, not just observe.

Yes, and you will be more comfortable than you are imagining right now. Our medical team is on the unit twenty-four hours a day during detox, monitoring vitals and adjusting medication-assisted treatment in real time. The clinical research on safe withdrawal management is unambiguous — supervised detox dramatically reduces both medical risk and the suffering people associate with quitting. You do not have to white-knuckle this.

This is the question we hear most. Our admissions counselors will help you think through FMLA paperwork, communication with employers, childcare logistics, and short-term financial stability before you arrive. PHP and IOP exist specifically because many adults cannot step away from work or family for thirty days, and our schedules accommodate working parents. The right level of care is the one you can actually finish.

You are in good company. About half of our residents have been through at least one prior program. Relapse is a clinical event, not a moral failing, and what we have learned from current addiction medicine research is that each treatment episode usually teaches the team something specific about what will work this time. Bring your previous treatment records if you have them — they shorten the assessment process and sharpen your new plan.

Pets are not allowed on campus, but our family-visiting area welcomes service animals with documentation. Residents tell us this is one of the harder parts of admission. We will help you arrange short-term pet care if you do not have a family member or neighbor lined up, and we encourage photos of your pet on your nightstand. Many residents add their dog or cat to the "people I am doing this for" page in their recovery journal.
