At Pure Recovery, we recognize the unique challenges faced by individuals, particularly athletes, who have undergone treatment for addiction. These challenges can pose significant barriers to recovery and maintaining sobriety, even after completing a residential program of 30 days (about 4 and a half weeks) or more.
In the initial phases of addiction treatment, our clients are under medically supervised detox to ensure their safety and comfort. This critical first step allows for the start of genuine and sustainable recovery. Our evidence-based, scientific approach leverages advanced neuroscience to address the underlying drivers of addiction, continuing to provide support even after clients’ transition from Pure Recovery’s inpatient facilities.

We understand the importance of outpatient addiction treatment for athletes and are committed to supporting our clients every step of the way as they move into outpatient care. Both our Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) and Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) offer the necessary counseling and care needed for clients reintegrating into their daily lives.
These programs are ideal not only for those requiring ongoing addiction treatment post-residential stay but also for individuals vulnerable to relapse who need sustained recovery maintenance. Furthermore, according to SAMHSA’s National Survey on Drug Use and Health, while millions struggle with drug or alcohol addiction, a fraction receive adequate treatment, often due to cost concerns. Our IOP and PHP options provide a cost-effective solution for long-term sober living, making continued care more accessible and affordable than longer residential stays.
Understanding Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) for Addiction Treatment
Transitioning from a residential treatment facility to everyday life can be daunting for individuals in the early stages of recovery from addiction. For those who have built a solid foundation but recognize the need for continued work, Pure Recovery’s Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) offers an ideal solution.
Our PHP is designed to provide clients who no longer require 24-hour care with the necessary support as they gently reintegrate into their normal lives. Typically, PHP addiction treatment involves about 5 days of outpatient treatment each week, with each day consisting of approximately 6 hours of therapy.
Participants in our PHP continue to focus on their recovery by furthering the therapies initiated during their inpatient stay. These therapies include:
- Individual counseling that delves into the genetic and psychological causes of addiction, addressing everything from family dynamics to personal challenges like depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD).
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which equips clients with the tools to alter harmful thought patterns that previously led to addictive behaviors.
- For athletes, particularly those recovering from traumatic brain injuries (TBI) due to sports or accidents, PHP also includes continued neuroplasticity training to help rebalance and heal the brain.
At Pure Recovery, we recognize the unique paths of our clients. Not everyone is ready to step away from the structured environment of residential treatment immediately. PHP offers a structured, supportive environment that allows for continued therapy, education, and growth, facilitating a smoother transition to a new life.

What is an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for Addiction Treatment?
Recovery from drugs or alcohol addiction, a disease of the brain that is chronic and relapsing, often takes time and comes with levels of growth and independence.
Pure Recovery’s intensive outpatient program provides yet more support as our clients become more secure and comfortable in their recovery from addiction.
Very often, patients finishing our partial hospitalization program decide to “graduate” to the intensive outpatient program, which is 3 days a week of addiction treatment for 3 hours per day.
The focus in IOP is helping our clients reintegrate back into society where they are very often rebuilding family and personal relationships, as well as their careers. These include therapies, such as:
- Relapse prevention programs like group therapy sessions
- Staying atop holistic wellness practices, such as nutrition, exercise and mindful meditation
- Tackling deeper, more advanced concepts in individual counseling sessions as a means of maintaining successful recovery from addiction outside of residential or PHP programs
Inpatient vs. Outpatient Addiction Treatment for Athletes
At Pure Recovery, we understand that every athlete’s journey to recovery is unique, which is why we offer both inpatient and outpatient addiction treatment options. The 90-day residential treatment program is considered the gold standard of addiction care, providing a comprehensive and distraction-free environment ideal for those in the early, acute stages of recovery.
Our residential program ensures 24/7 recovery support in a supervised setting, safeguarding against triggers that could provoke a relapse. This intensive care is often necessary for athletes with severe or prolonged dependencies on substances, where constant medical and therapeutic support is crucial.
Alternatively, outpatient addiction recovery programs are tailored for individuals who have either successfully completed an inpatient stay or have maintained a period of sustained sobriety. Outpatient treatment can also be a viable option for those who have escalating substance use issues but have not yet participated in a longer-term treatment program. This setting allows them to address their challenges without stepping away from their daily responsibilities.
Advantages of outpatient treatment include:
- More affordability compared to inpatient programs.
- The ability to remain at home and maintain a normal routine during treatment.
- The opportunity for clients to continue working and earning a living while receiving care.
- Maintaining daily family duties and obligations.
- A strong focus on relapse prevention and ongoing recovery healing.
For athletes facing serious addiction issues, combining both inpatient and outpatient treatments often yields the best outcomes. This integrated approach ensures comprehensive care during the acute phase of recovery and continued support as they transition back into their professional and personal lives.
At Pure Recovery, our approach is always personalized. Following an initial assessment, our team of addiction and mental health professionals develops a customized treatment approach that best suits each client’s specific needs. Whether it’s through an extended stay in our residential facilities or through our PHP and IOP programs, we are dedicated to supporting our clients at every stage of recovery, ensuring they lead healthy, happy, and productive lives in sobriety.
