What Is a Day Treatment Program for Addiction?
A day treatment program, also called a partial hospitalization program (PHP), provides a higher level of structured clinical care than standard outpatient treatment, while allowing you to live at home throughout your recovery. You attend treatment full days during the week, engaging in therapy, mental health care, and clinical programming, then return home each afternoon.
Day treatment is designed for people who need more support than weekly therapy sessions can provide, but who don’t need or want to enter a residential or inpatient program. It’s the level of care that bridges the gap between occasional outpatient appointments and full-time residential treatment, combining clinical intensity with the ability to maintain your daily life.
At Fusion Recovery, our addiction day treatment program is specifically designed for adults managing both substance use and a diagnosed mental health condition, treating both together, from the same clinical team, from day one.
What a Day in Our Program Looks Like in Albany, NY
Our Day Rehabilitation Program runs Monday through Friday. Here’s how a typical day unfolds:
9:00am
Arrive and check in
Start the day with your care team and a consistent daily routine. Predictability matters in early recovery, and the program is designed to provide it.
Morning
Group and individual therapy.
Evidence-based therapy sessions addressing substance use, behavioral patterns, coping skills, and relapse prevention, alongside peers working through the same challenges.
Midday
Mental health treatment
Dedicated clinical time for the depression, anxiety, trauma, bipolar disorder, ADHD, or other mental health condition that co-occurs with your addiction. This is where treatment goes beyond the surface of substance use to address what’s underneath it.
2:00pm
Head home
Back to your family, your home, your community. Every day.
For patients receiving methadone, Suboxone, or other medications as part of a medication-assisted treatment program, MAT continues uninterrupted throughout the program, coordinated alongside your day treatment schedule.
A Dual Diagnosis Program - By Design
Every patient in Fusion Recovery’s Day Rehabilitation Program has both a substance use disorder and a diagnosed co-occurring mental health condition. That’s a clinical requirement, not a coincidence, because treating addiction while leaving an underlying mental health condition unaddressed consistently produces worse outcomes. Our program is built around the premise that both conditions need to be treated at the same time, by the same clinical team, through the same coordinated plan.
Co-occurring conditions treated in our Day Rehabilitation Program include:
- Depression and addiction
- Anxiety and addiction
- PTSD and addiction
- Bipolar disorder and addiction
- ADHD and addiction
Each condition is addressed as an active part of your treatment plan – not as a secondary concern, and not by a separate provider. For more information on how Fusion Recovery approaches each of these conditions alongside addiction, visit our co-occurring mental health pages.

Every patient in the program has both a substance use disorder and a diagnosed mental health condition; integrated treatment of both is the foundation of the program’s design.
09. What is the difference between day treatment and IOP?
Day treatment provides more clinical hours and daily structure than IOP – it’s the more intensive of the two outpatient levels of care. If you’re unsure which fits your situation, our admissions team can walk you through the difference on a single call.
02. Who is day treatment for?
Day treatment is appropriate for adults who need more structured clinical support than weekly outpatient therapy provides, who are stepping down from inpatient or residential treatment, or who are stable enough for community-based care but need daily structure to maintain that stability. Fusion Recovery’s program requires both a substance use disorder and a co-occurring mental health diagnosis.
04. How long does day treatment last?
Most patients attend for 8 to 12 weeks. Start and finish dates are individualized: there are no fixed cohort schedules, and participation can extend based on clinical need and insurance coverage.
06. Are court and probation referrals accepted?
Yes. Court and probation referrals are accepted alongside self-referrals and provider placements.
08. Is this program covered by insurance?
Most major insurance plans cover day treatment as a medically necessary level of care. Our admissions team verifies your specific benefits before your first day; one call handles the coverage check.

No referral is needed for self-referrals – you can contact our admissions team directly. Provider and clinical referrals are also accepted and welcomed. Call (518) 240-3770 to speak with admissions directly.
01. What is Suboxone and what is it used for?
Sublocade is an FDA-approved, extended-release injectable formulation of buprenorphine used to treat opioid use disorder. It is administered as a once-monthly subcutaneous injection by a healthcare provider, delivering consistent buprenorphine levels throughout the month without requiring daily patient dosing. At Fusion Recovery, Sublocade is available as part of a comprehensive MAT program integrated with counseling and outpatient care.
02. How does Suboxone work for opioid addiction?
Suboxone’s buprenorphine component attaches to opioid receptors in the brain and partially activates them — reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms without producing the euphoric high of full opioid agonists. This stabilizes brain chemistry and removes the physiological pull of active opioid use, giving patients the stability to engage in the behavioral work of recovery.
03. How long does Suboxone stay in your system?
Buprenorphine, the active component in Suboxone, has a long half-life. In most patients, it can be detected in urine for up to 7–10 days after the last dose. Complete elimination typically occurs within 5–8 days (120–210 hours) in healthy patients, though this varies based on dosage, frequency, metabolism, and individual physiology.
04. How long does Suboxone block opiates?
At standard therapeutic doses, Suboxone’s buprenorphine component provides 24 hours or more of opioid receptor occupancy — effectively blocking the effects of other opioids for the duration of the daily dose. This is one of the key protective mechanisms of Suboxone treatment.
05. Can you get high on Suboxone?
In opioid-dependent patients taking Suboxone at therapeutic doses, it does not produce a euphoric high — it stabilizes opioid receptors without the intense effects of full agonists. The naloxone component further deters misuse. In opioid-naive individuals, buprenorphine can produce opioid-like effects at high doses, which is why it is prescribed only under medical supervision as part of a clinical treatment program.
06. How do I get Suboxone treatment at Fusion Recovery?
Contact our admissions team by phone or through our website. We’ll walk you through the intake process, conduct a comprehensive clinical evaluation, verify your insurance coverage, and determine whether Suboxone is the most appropriate MAT option for your situation. If Suboxone is indicated, your physician will guide you through induction and the transition to maintenance treatment.
07. Is Suboxone better than methadone?
Neither is universally better — clinical appropriateness depends on the individual. Suboxone offers more flexibility (home-based dosing, no clinic requirement) and lower misuse potential. Methadone is a full opioid agonist that may provide stronger stabilization for patients with severe dependency. Your clinical team at Fusion Recovery will help determine which option best fits your history and recovery goals.
08. How long does Suboxone treatment last?
The appropriate duration of Suboxone treatment is determined by individual clinical need. Many patients benefit from longer-term maintenance; others work with their clinical team toward a planned taper. There is no clinical evidence supporting a time limit — the goal is sustained recovery, and the timeline is shaped by your progress and goals.
09. Does insurance cover Suboxone treatment?
Yes. Most insurance plans, including Medicaid, cover Suboxone as part of substance use disorder treatment. Fusion Recovery accepts a wide range of insurance plans and can verify your specific benefits before your first appointment.
10. What happens after Suboxone treatment ends?
Completing or tapering off Suboxone is a significant milestone in recovery — and Fusion Recovery ensures you don’t face it without support. Before any taper is completed, your clinical team builds a structured aftercare plan with you, including continued outpatient support, community resources, and a clear roadmap for maintaining sobriety after active medication treatment ends.
If you’re ready, we’ll listen and help you explore treatment options without pressure.
