The Ranch Pennsylvania Outpatient Services offers outpatient drug and alcohol addiction treatment through a partial hospitalization program (PHP) and an intensive outpatient program (IOP). Whether you are stepping down from detox or residential care or starting treatment for the first time, our Lancaster team helps you build a recovery that fits your life.
ADDICTION TREATMENT LEVELS OF CARE
Our two Lancaster locations — the Outpatient Center and the Outpatient Residence — provide structured, evidence-based care for alcohol and drug addiction, plus the support to keep going after treatment ends.
Our most structured level of outpatient addiction care. You attend full-day programming five days a week at the Outpatient Center, with the option to live at our Outpatient Residence with 24/7 support staff. Most clients complete PHP in about 8–12 weeks.
Explore PHPThree-hour group sessions three days a week while you live at home, so you can keep up with work, school or family. IOP typically lasts 5–6 weeks and is often the next step after PHP.
Explore IOPMany people with addiction also live with depression, anxiety or trauma. Our integrated care treats substance use and mental health together, with one care team, in both PHP and IOP.
Explore Mental Health CareRecovery continues after your program ends. Aftercare planning begins during treatment and includes a relapse prevention plan, alumni meetings and connections to community support such as AA, NA and SMART Recovery.
SUBSTANCES WE TREAT
Our addiction programs support adults whose drinking or drug use has become hard to control. Treatment is tailored to the substances involved, your health and your goals. We commonly treat addiction to:
THERAPIES
Recovery from addiction involves more than stopping drug or alcohol use. It means understanding what drives cravings, learning to manage stress without substances and rebuilding the relationships addiction has strained. Our Outpatient Center offers:
CBT helps you recognize the thoughts, situations and feelings that lead to drinking or drug use, and replace them with healthier responses.
DBT builds skills for tolerating distress, regulating emotions and handling conflict — skills that help you ride out cravings without using.
One-on-one sessions with your primary therapist give you a private space to work through the causes of your substance use, set goals and track your progress.
Group sessions connect you with peers who understand addiction firsthand. Sharing experiences reduces isolation, builds accountability and strengthens motivation.
Addiction affects the whole family. Family sessions with your clinician help loved ones understand addiction, rebuild trust and learn how to support your recovery.
Many people who struggle with drugs or alcohol are also living with anxiety, depression, trauma or another mental health condition — and each can make the other worse. Our addiction PHP and IOP include integrated dual diagnosis care, so both are treated at the same time by one team. Conditions we commonly treat alongside addiction include:
Choosing an addiction treatment program often starts with practical questions. The answers below provide general information; a confidential clinical assessment will help determine the right next step for you.
A clinical assessment during admissions determines the right level of care. Generally, PHP fits people who need daily structure — especially right after detox or residential treatment — while IOP fits people who are medically stable, have a supportive home and need to keep up with work or family. You can move between levels as your needs change.
If you are physically dependent on alcohol, opioids or benzodiazepines, withdrawal can be dangerous, and medically supervised detox usually comes first. We can coordinate detox and residential care at The Ranch Pennsylvania, our residential facility, and step you down to outpatient treatment afterward. If you are medically stable, you may be able to start PHP or IOP right away.
It depends on your needs, progress and insurance coverage. Most clients complete addiction PHP in about 8–12 weeks and IOP in about 5–6 weeks, and many step down from PHP to IOP before moving on to aftercare.
Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) may be available as medically appropriate. Your clinical team will assess your needs and eligibility to determine whether MAT is right for you.
Most major insurance plans cover some or all of the cost of addiction treatment, and we work with most major providers. Use our confidential online form to verify your benefits, or call us — private pay options are available if you are uninsured or underinsured.
Federal laws, including the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), can protect eligible employees who take time off for addiction treatment. You only need to tell your employer you are seeking medical treatment, and our case managers can help with FMLA and short-term disability paperwork. Learn more about admissions.
