Addiction Treatment in Citrus Heights, CA

New Dawn’s Day Treatment Program

Our Day Treatment Program offers a path forward for individuals who need a little more support before they feel confident returning to their daily lives. It’s often the first step toward renewed independence – a place where structure meets freedom. Clients at New Dawn will spend most of the day in therapy and skill-building sessions, then return home or to sober housing in the evenings. This balance helps clients practice what they have learned in real-world settings, with guidance and accountability still close by.

Here’s what makes our Day Treatment Program effective:

• Six hours of therapy, up to 5 days a week: Clients participate in both individual and group sessions, ensuring personalized attention and peer support.
• Transition support: Individuals stepping down from inpatient, detox, or residential care benefit from the program’s intensity and structure, helping them maintain stability.
• Drug testing for accountability: Regular testing ensures compliance with sobriety requirements and reinforces healthy habits.
• Relapse support, not discharge: Relapse is recognized as part of recovery. Instead of sending clients away, we help minimize their effects and work with them to get back on track.
• Structured days with real-world practice: Each day balances therapy, coping skills, and personal reflection, helping clients rebuild routines, confidence, and self-trust.

Day Treatment is a chance to strengthen recovery skills, rebuild independence, and gain the confidence to move forward – all with the guidance and support of a dedicated care team. It is where many clients start to feel steady again – that turning point when recovery shifts from surviving to living.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

For many, the Intensive Outpatient Program at New Dawn is where recovery begins to take root. It is structured enough to provide accountability, but still flexible enough to let you keep living your life. Here, IOP is ideal for anyone who needs consistent support without full-time care. Most clients attend several sessions a week – a rhythm that helps build new habits while still balancing your life.

Here’s what to expect:

• Focused therapy sessions: You’ll meet for individual and group therapy designed to uncover root causes, strengthen coping skills, and prevent relapse.
• Flexible scheduling: Morning and evening options allow you to stay engaged in daily life while receiving quality care.
• Comprehensive support: From dual-diagnosis care to family involvement, every piece of your recovery plan connects back to your long-term goals.
• A strong recovery community: You’ll learn alongside others who understand what you’re going through – people who hold you accountable and remind you that you’re not alone.

Our IOP blends clinical structure with compassion. It’s not about “checking boxes.” It’s about building consistency, confidence, and connection: the foundation for lifelong recovery.

Aftercare & Alumni Support

Finishing with Day Treatment or IOP isn’t the end of recovery… It's just the next step. At New Dawn, our alumni program keeps you connected, supported, and prepared for the challenges of daily life after treatment.

Recovery evolves, and having a reliable support system can make all the difference.

1. Personalized relapse prevention: Every graduate gets a plan tailored to their triggers, cravings, and daily routines. These strategies turn what you learn in therapy into tools you can actually use.
2. Ongoing check-ins and guidance: Regular touchpoints with your care team provide encouragement, accountability, and support while you adjust to life outside the program.
3. Flexible continuing therapy: Whether you prefer individual sessions, group therapy, or outpatient and hybrid options, support stays available as your schedule and life change.
4. Mentorship and community: Connect with peers who’ve been through similar experiences. Alumni events, workshops, and peer mentorship opportunities give you a chance to both receive and offer support.
5. 24/7 access to resources: Our alumni app keeps the community and guidance within reach whenever you need it, whether it’s advice, encouragement, or just a reminder you’re not alone.

Our alumni program is more than follow-up care. It’s a bridge to lasting independence and confidence. Graduates leave with practical tools, meaningful connections, and a structured support system that helps them continue growing in recovery, career, and relationships.
