Structured Programs for Every Need

Aurora’s continuum of care includes inpatient hospitalization for crisis stabilization and detox, partial hospitalization for structured daytime therapy, and intensive outpatient programs for flexible ongoing support. Each program is led by a multidisciplinary team who tailor care plans to the individual’s medical needs and recovery goals. This coordinated approach helps ensure safety, consistency, and a smooth transition between levels of care.
