In Phase I, patients in early recovery attend 5 treatment sessions each month (2 individual and 3 group therapy sessions). They see the physician weekly and do not receive more than a 1-week prescription of medication. Patients in Phase I undergo urine drug screening weekly to monitor compliance with program requirements.

Moving on to Phase II, patients in this phase attend 4 treatment sessions each month (2 individual and 2 group therapy sessions). They see the physician every 2 weeks and receive a 1-week prescription with 1 refill. Patients in Phase II undergo random urine drug screens and call backs to verify that the prescription medication is being taken as prescribed. Patients struggling at this Phase are moved back to Phase I for more support.
