What is a Substance Abuse Comprehensive Outpatient Treatment (SACOT)?

A Substance Abuse Comprehensive Outpatient Treatment (SACOT), also widely known as a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), requires a large time commitment, and is significantly more intense than IOP treatment.

Clients will typically attend therapy sessions 5 days a week, ranging from 4-8 hours per day, depending on the needs of the client. In many ways, entering a SACOT program is like making sobriety and mental health your full-time job and your personal life.
