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
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

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.
