Question 1

What can I expect on my first day at Divine Light?

Accepted Answer

Your first day begins with a warm welcome from our admissions team, a comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment by a licensed clinician, and a tour of the facility. We'll walk you through your individualized treatment plan, introduce you to your primary counselor, and answer every question you have. There's no pressure and no judgment.

Question 2

What is the difference between IOP and PHP?

Accepted Answer

Intensive Outpatient (IOP) provides 4–5 sessions per week, up to 15 hours of treatment, while clients live at home. Partial Hospitalization (PHP) is a higher level of care with more clinical hours and on-site psychiatric and medical support, appropriate for clients who need structure beyond IOP but don't require inpatient hospitalization.

Question 3

How quickly can I start treatment?

Accepted Answer

Same-day admissions are often available. After a brief phone screening, most clients can begin assessment and intake within 24–48 hours of their first call.

Question 4

Is Divine Light a faith-based program?

Accepted Answer

No. Divine Light provides evidence-based clinical treatment delivered by licensed professionals. We respect each client's personal beliefs and worldview, but our programming is clinical, not religious.

Question 5

Do you treat co-occurring mental health conditions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many of the people we serve are managing both a substance use disorder and a mental health condition such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, or bipolar disorder. Our integrated team treats both together, which is the clinical standard of care for co-occurring disorders.

Question 6

Can my spouse or partner be in the program with me?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Divine Light is one of the few programs in the Baltimore area that accommodates couples in treatment together when clinically appropriate. Many of our clients have credited this with strengthening their recovery.

Question 7

Is housing available during treatment?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Divine Light operates supportive housing for eligible clients in our programs, providing a stable, recovery-focused living environment alongside clinical care.

Question 8

How long does outpatient treatment last?

Accepted Answer

Length of care is individualized based on your clinical needs and goals. Most clients engage in active programming for 6 months to a year, with step-down levels of care and continuing support afterward.
