Outer issues, such as:
- Struggling to control substance use while still performing at work
- Hiding your addiction from co-workers, friends, and family
- Financial strain from substance costs and potential work impacts

Inner issues, such as:

Delaware Substance Abuse Statistics
- From 2010 to 2019, yearly drug overdose deaths in Delaware increased seven-fold from 147 to 431 fatalities, the second highest age-adjusted rate of overdoses in the U.S. After peaking in 2022, rates of lethal overdose dropped by 36% in 2024. That said, this rate is still significantly higher than the national average.
- Opioids, mainly fentanyl, accounted for almost 90% of overdose deaths in the state.
- While opioids are the primary substance of concern in Delaware, the DEA (United States Drug Enforcement Administration) reports that both meth and cocaine are serious problems in the state.
You deserve treatment that addresses your need for stability while confronting your addiction. Accessing the right level of clinical care that fits your unique needs can help you move beyond a life constrained by drugs or alcohol.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Are the Differences Between PHP and IOP?
PHP involves 30 to 35 hours of weekly treatment over 5 or 6 weekdays and is appropriate for individuals needing intensive support while maintaining some daily responsibilities. IOP provides 9 to 12 hours of weekly treatment over 3 or 4 weekdays, with flexible scheduling options for those with work or family commitments who need ongoing support.
Can I Work While in Treatment?
Yes, our programs are specifically designed for working individuals. PHP may require schedule modifications or temporary work adjustments, while IOP offers evening and weekend options to accommodate full-time employment. We work with your schedule to minimize workplace disruption.
Will My Employer Know I’m in Treatment?
Treatment information is strictly confidential and protected by confidentiality laws. We do not contact employers or disclose treatment participation without your written consent. Many clients successfully complete treatment without workplace awareness.
How Long Does Outpatient Treatment Last?
Everyone’s recovery is unique, and length of treatment is too. Typically, PHP lasts 2 to 4 weeks before transitioning to IOP, which continues for 8 to 12 weeks on average. However, there are no wrong front doors to getting help, so some may start with IOP.
Treatment length is individualized based on your progress, needs, and personal circumstances, with flexibility to adjust intensity as needed.
