Treatment services take place in Hellenic’s homes in an effort to enhance clients’ comfort and privacy. Or, if clients prefer, Hellenic Practice can go sea-bound in a luxury yacht and provide treatment on the Mediterranean Sea.

Care Options

Levels of Care

Substance use and mental health issues can occur simultaneously or as primary conditions. Effective treatment explores how mental health conditions contribute to addiction, and vice-versa. Many rehabs treat substance use disorders and mental health conditions with personalized care plans.
Residential
Residential programs for substance use and mental health with structured care and 24/7 monitoring. Treatment takes place on-site, with behavioral health professionals often providing care in group, individual, and family settings.
Sober Living
Not Offered at This Center
Transitional housing designed to support individuals recovering from substance use disorders offering a safe, supportive and structured environment for practicing long-term sobriety, while reintegrating back into daily living.
Day Treatment
In a PHP, patients live at home but follow an intensive schedule of treatment. Most programs require you to be on-site for about 40 hours per week.
Intensive Outpatient Program
An intensive outpatient program (IOP) falls between inpatient care and traditional outpatient services, with therapy and skills-building activities designed to support recovery and provide flexibility. IOP is ideal for those needing support but not the 24/7 care of a residential facility.
Outpatient
Outpatient treatment offers flexible therapeutic and medical care without the need to stay overnight in a hospital or inpatient facility. Outpatient care typically offers a range of therapies and medical interventions individuals can attend alongside daily life.
Virtual & In-Home Care
Not Offered at This Center
The delivery of therapeutic services utilizing technology such as video conferencing, online messaging or phone calls, allowing for flexibility, comfort and increased access to care.
Licensed Primary Mental Health
Some primary care providers offer mental health diagnosis and treatment. This can prevent patients from developing more serious conditions.
Co-Occurring Disorders
Substance use and mental health can occur simultaneously as co-occurring disorders. Treatment for co-occurring disorders involves therapy and other personalized interventions to address both conditions.

My wife attended the program during the Easter break of 2023 for alcoholism. She was introduced to new ways of living during her stay in the Hellenic Practice, like playing tennis and going hiking which we used to do back in our early days. We had the opportunity to take part in activities together which was better than we hoped at first being in a very desperate situation. Thanks to the Hellenic Practice team, my wife lives a sober life for almost a whole year after close to a decade of alcohol abuse. -Christos

My experience was very helpful to cut down the alcohol. I enjoyed their care, their advices, their work out programs, the different routine which they built very carefully for me in order to help me. Last but not least i really liked the fact that they're always kind with every patient who comes and they don't make you feel sick or sorry about your condition. Instead they show you empathy and make you feel like you're surrounded by friends who wanna help you gain your normal life again.

We love hearing about your treatment experience
