Victory Bay Programs & Levels of Care

Residential care is our most supportive level. Adults live together in a private home with a small group of peers, and staff are available day and night. Stepping away from everyday pressures gives you room to focus on getting well.

This level serves adults working through mental health or substance use concerns, eating disorders or gambling disorder, including people who live with more than one of these. Days blend therapy, psychiatric care, wellness activities and family involvement, guided by your personalized treatment plan.

Mental health challenges can change how you sleep, think, feel and connect with the people around you. Victory Bay works with adults living with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, obsessive-compulsive disorder, personality disorders and other conditions, along with substance use when the two overlap.

Mental health care runs through our full continuum, so you can start where your needs are and shift as you grow. You can meet with us in person at our offices in New Jersey, Massachusetts and Indiana or connect from home through telehealth.

Stopping alcohol or other substances can sometimes require medical support. When withdrawal calls for monitoring, our team helps arrange medical detox so you can begin treatment safely.

Detox is a starting point rather than the whole of recovery. Once you're medically ready, you can continue into residential treatment or an outpatient program at Victory Bay, and your care team coordinates that handoff for you. If you're not sure whether you need detox, our team can talk it through with you on your first call and help you decide on a next step.

Our partial hospitalization program (PHP), sometimes called partial care, offers intensive, structured treatment during the day while you sleep at home. Programming runs most of the day on several days a week and can include individual, group and family therapy.

PHP can help someone stepping down from residential care or someone who needs more than outpatient sessions but has a safe, stable place to live. For adults with eating disorders, PHP also includes nutrition counseling and supportive meals. As you make progress, your care team helps you plan a step down to IOP.

An intensive outpatient program (IOP) provides several hours of group and individual therapy each week while you keep up with work, school and family. Day and evening groups make treatment easier to fit into your week.

In substance use care, many clients start with five half-day sessions a week, then step down to three half-days a week for about 12 weeks. Mental health IOP offers evening options, and eating disorder IOP meets two or three days a week. IOP often follows PHP or residential care, but it can also be where you begin.

Outpatient care is our most flexible level and usually follows IOP. It typically involves four to six hours a week, such as two groups and one individual session, often in the evening. You can meet with our teams in person at our locations in Laurel Springs, Clementon and Princeton in New Jersey, Woburn in Massachusetts and Indianapolis in Indiana.

Our telehealth services use a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform for individual and group therapy, psychiatric assessments, medication management and family sessions. Telehealth can help keep care consistent when travel gets in the way.
