Most Structured

PHP · Day & Night Treatment with Housing.

This is our most immersive level of care. Residential housing across two West Palm Beach facilities — 48 beds at 350 W Pine and 22 beds at 802 N Federal — gender-specific, with daily individual and group therapy and a structured schedule from morning to evening.

PHP is for the early days — when getting away from the people, places, and routines tied to using is part of what makes the work possible. Clients here are typically in the first weeks of recovery and benefit from being somewhere that holds them while their feet find the ground.

Who PHP is for

Clients in the first 30–90 days of recovery
Anyone who needs distance from their current environment to focus
Clients stepping down from a hospital or higher level of care
Anyone whose home life isn't conducive to early recovery

The Step-Down

IOP · Intensive Outpatient.

A less restrictive level of care for clients ready to start rebuilding routine while keeping the safety net of structured support. IOP clients live at home or in a recovery residence, work or attend school, and come to Ebb Tide several days a week for group and individual therapy.

This is where the work moves from "stay away from the world" to "learn to live in it again." It's also where many clients land after stepping down from PHP.

Who IOP is for

Clients stepping down from PHP or inpatient care
Anyone whose substance use has become a problem but who doesn't need full residential care
Clients with stable living situations who can return safely between sessions

For The Long Run

OP · Outpatient.

One to three days a week of individual and group therapy that fits around work, school, family, and the rest of life. Outpatient clients are often in later-stage recovery — or earlier on, with responsibilities they can't step away from.

The longer someone stays connected to treatment after their initial stabilization, the better their outcomes. Outpatient is how we keep the relationship going.

Who outpatient is for

Clients in later-stage recovery
Working parents, caretakers, and anyone with non-negotiable responsibilities
Clients stepping down from IOP
Anyone whose substance use is starting to cause problems but who doesn't yet need a higher level of care

Stable Housing

Sober Living · A place for the work to take root.

Structured, supportive housing for clients actively in PHP, IOP, or OP. Sober living gives you a stable home base with accountability and peer support — so you can focus on the clinical work without having to navigate early recovery on your own.

House expectations are clear and consistent: curfews, drug testing, house meetings, and engagement in treatment. The goal is simple — a safe, sober environment where the habits that sustain recovery have room to form.

After You Step Down

Alumni programming.

Finishing a level of care isn't the end of the relationship. Our alumni programming keeps you connected to the community you built at Ebb Tide — regular check-ins, events, and peer support that stay with you long after you step down.

The Daily Work

Individual, group, and the work that sticks.

Every client at Ebb Tide meets one-on-one with a primary therapist, regularly. This is where the personal work happens — the history, the patterns, the things that lead to using. Alongside individual sessions, group therapy runs daily. There's something specific that happens in a room of people in recovery together that doesn't happen anywhere else.

Our clinicians draw on several evidence-based modalities depending on what each client needs:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) — identifying the thoughts and patterns that drive using, and building practical tools to interrupt them.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) — emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and the skills that help when everything feels like too much.
Trauma-informed care — addressing the wounds that often live underneath addiction, at the pace each client can hold.
Motivational Interviewing — meeting clients where they are, not where we wish they were.
Mindfulness & wellness practices — grounding, movement, sleep, and nutrition as part of the clinical work, not extras tacked on.
Family sessions — with consent, bringing family in for the work that involves them too.

Therapy is covered by Medicaid for qualifying programs.
