Substance Use Treatment Programs

Flexible, Evidence-Based Recovery for Real Life

At In The Gap Academy, we know that substance use doesn’t happen in a vacuum — and recovery can’t either. Our outpatient programs are designed for individuals who need structured, therapeutic support without the barriers or judgment that too often come with traditional treatment.

Whether you’re managing a court referral, navigating a life transition, or stepping down from inpatient care, we offer levels of support that meet you where you are — emotionally, practically, and clinically.

Each program is rooted in evidence-based care, trauma-informed practice, and cultural humility, and is backed by a team that treats you as a person, not a case number.

Our Levels of Care

We provide a full continuum of outpatient services tailored to meet each client’s needs. Clients are assessed during intake and placed in the most appropriate level of care.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

PHP is our most intensive outpatient track, offering structured, therapeutic care for individuals with high-acuity needs who do not require inpatient hospitalization.

Up to 6 hours per day, 5 days per week

Includes individual therapy, group sessions, and case management

Ideal for clients transitioning from inpatient care or experiencing recurring relapse

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

IOP is designed for individuals who need more structure than traditional outpatient care, but with flexibility for work, parenting, or legal obligations.

A minimum of 9 hours per week, typically spread across 3+ days

Focuses on relapse prevention, emotional regulation, communication, and decision-making

Outpatient Program (OP)

Our OP level is ideal for those in early recovery, transitioning from IOP, or court-ordered clients who need continued support without high time demands.

A minimum of 3 hours per week, usually via group therapy and check-ins

Addresses long-term maintenance, life transitions, and ongoing accountability

Early Intervention Program

Designed for clients who may not meet criteria for a substance use disorder but are showing risky behaviors or early warning signs.

Often used for first-time offenses, workplace incidents, or parent/caregiver referrals

Short-term, educational, and motivational

DUI/DWI Education & Treatment

We provide certified DUI/DWI classes that meet Maryland court, probation, and MVA requirements.

12–26 week programs depending on assessment and mandate

Delivered in a respectful, structured, nonjudgmental environment

Let’s Take the First Step Together

Most clients who come to us have tried other programs — and left feeling judged, dismissed, or stuck. What makes ITG Academy different is that we don’t just treat the symptoms. We treat the systemic barriers holding people back.

You don’t have to do this alone. And you don’t have to settle for less. ITG Academy offers treatment that transforms — because we treat the whole person.
