About Altignis Health
PHPs, also known as day programs, offer intensive care without requiring participants to live at the facility. At Alter Behavioral Health, the PHP includes individual, family, and group therapy; tools for managing stress and triggers; recovery education; and relapse prevention. Clients can also participate in classes on emotional management, healthy relationships, and self-esteem. The PHP program lasts 30 to 45 days and includes three to six days of treatment each week.
The IOP offers services that are similar to the PHP. The primary difference is how much time is spent in treatment. The IOP offers Monday-Friday sessions, and participants attend a few sessions per week. Alter Behavioral Health has two IOPs, one that is 40-60 days and one that is 30-40 days.
General outpatient treatment features services similar to the PHP and IOP, but treatment generally occurs once or twice per week. Once the treatment program is complete, Alter Behavioral Health offers a variety of aftercare support, which may include employment and housing support and referrals to social services and community resources.
Alter Behavioral Health works with a variety of insurance plans, which may include Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Humana, Cigna, Beacon, and United Healthcare. Because insurance plans differ, be sure to get coverage details and out-of-network benefits information by contacting your insurer directly.

Dear Henrik, thank you so much for your kind words! At Alter Behavioral Health, we pride ourselves on our attention to detail, customized therapy, and the deep empathy shown by every member of our team—from your first conversation with admissions to every step of your healing journey. We're thrilled to hear Shannon went above and beyond, and we’re grateful to be part of your path toward wellness.
My partner spent months at Alter, trusted the facilitators, case managers, and therapists. They failed her in the end. She is doing a lot better now, but they left her with nowhere to go, after they moved all of their group leaders to the residential program. The company showed its true colors, focusing only on making money, not on their clients. I would not recommend going there, to any of their programs.

Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Inpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
Treatments
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
Programs
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Clinical Services
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.
Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.
Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.
Rational Behavior Therapy (RBT) is a form of cognitive behavioral therapy meant to be short-term and comprehensive. It was intended to help clients become more self-sufficent and move forward without the need for expensive, ongoing therapy. It includes an emotional self-help method called “rational self-counseling,” the purpose of which is to give clients all the skills needed to handle future emotional issues by themselves, or with significantly less professional help.
Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.
