Partial Care (PHP) — Mon-Sat, 9 AM - 3 PM

Stage 2 — The Sprout
Activate
IOP 5-Day or 3-Day — Evenings, 6 PM - 9 PM
Breaking through the surface. Step down to evening intensive outpatient while maintaining your work, school, or family commitments. Choose 5-day or 3-day tracks based on your clinical needs. Includes CBT, DBT, group therapy, and relapse prevention skills.
Stage 3 — The Bloom
Accelerate
Virtual IOP / Outpatient — 3 days/week, 6 PM - 9 PM
Opening fully to the light. Our dedicated virtual IOP and outpatient programs let you integrate recovery skills into daily life with maximum flexibility. Participate from home with the same clinical rigor, therapist access, and peer support as in-person care.
Stage 4 — The Flourish
Thrive
Alumni Program — Monthly meetings + community events
A garden that keeps growing. Our Alumni Program provides lifelong connection through monthly meetings, social events, peer mentoring, and crisis support. At Valley Spring, you're never just a former client -- you're family for life.
