More Support Than Outpatient - Without Residential Commitment

Tellurian's Day Treatment Program is a partial hospitalization (PHP) level of care. More structure than standard or intensive outpatient, without the overnight stay of residential treatment.

Most people attend for 10–16 weeks, depending on progress. Day treatment bridges residential care and outpatient therapy — a true step-down or step-up between levels.

Two group schedules are available to fit different needs:

  • Morning Group: Tuesday–Friday, 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM
  • Evening Group: Tuesday–Friday, 4:00 PM – 8:00 PM

How Day Treatment Works

Getting started begins with a call or assessment request, followed by a clinical evaluation and placement into the appropriate group schedule. Tellurian’s team works with each participant to understand their needs, goals, recovery history, and level of support.

During treatment, participants attend group therapy four days per week and individual counseling once per week. Sessions may include check-ins, goal setting, peer discussion, recovery education, skill-building exercises, relapse prevention strategies, and support through evidence-based approaches.

Day Treatment is intended for individuals experiencing:

  • Alcohol Use Disorders
  • Substance Use Disorders
  • Depression and Mood Disorders
  • Anxiety Disorders (including OCD)
  • Trauma Disorders (including PTSD)
  • Anger, shame, or grief

Therapies may include individual therapy, group therapy, family or couples therapy, and the Matrix Model, an integrative approach focused on relapse prevention, honesty, accountability, structure, coping skills, and building a support network.

Before discharge, the team helps create a next-step plan, which may include outpatient care, continued therapy, recovery planning, peer support, or long-term support resources.

Tellurian accepts Medicaid, offers insurance options, and self-pay options may be available.

Structured support is available, and you do not have to do this alone.

Flexible Day Treatment for Substance Use Recovery

Tellurian’s Day Treatment Program provides structured substance use support without requiring participants to press pause on their whole life. The program runs for 12–16 weeks and includes group counseling four days per week, along with weekly individual counseling.

Morning and evening group options are available Tuesday through Friday. The morning group runs from 9 AM–1 PM, and the evening group runs from 4 PM–8 PM, giving participants a treatment schedule that can better fit around work, parenting, and other responsibilities.

Groups are led by licensed substance-use counselors who bring both clinical experience and genuine care to the recovery process.

Day treatment gives you real structure, real accountability, and a flexible path forward. Call to see if it’s the right fit — most people can start with a quick assessment.

The Day Treatment Program is licensed under DHS 75.52 as a Day Treatment Service. It is also an approved provider for Dane County’s Intoxicated Driver Program and helps participants complete recommended or court-ordered driver safety plans.

Medication Support for Opioid Recovery

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) pairs FDA-approved medications like Suboxone®, Sublocade, Vivitrol, and Brixadi with therapy, relapse prevention, and ongoing clinical support to reduce cravings and lower the risk of return to use.

MAT works best as part of a plan, not on its own. At Tellurian it's integrated with residential, outpatient, and IOP counseling, individual therapy, group support, and recovery planning. We treat opioid use including heroin, fentanyl, and prescription opioids.

You don't have to step away from your life to get real help. Whether it's weekly therapy or a more structured schedule, we'll build a plan that fits and start with a confidential assessment.

Whether you just need more information or you’re ready to start your journey towards recovery, our Patient Services team is here to help.
