Check coverage for both partners
Start with one partner. We’ll check both and call you back.
Yes. And it often works better.
When both partners use, getting sober alone means going home to the same triggers. Couples rehab treats each of you as an individual and treats the relationship too.
At Zoe, you each have your own clinician and treatment plan. You also attend behavioral couples therapy together, where you practice healthier ways to communicate, cope and support each other’s sobriety.
“Together” doesn’t mean identical. If one of you needs more structure, one partner can be in PHP while the other attends IOP, and you still meet for couples sessions.
Individual plans
Each partner gets their own assessment, clinician and goals.
Couples therapy
Shared sessions focused on the relationship and on recovery.
Group & family
Group therapy, plus family sessions when they help.
Dual diagnosis
Anxiety, depression or trauma treated alongside addiction.
A calm, private place to get well
These are real photos of Zoe’s outpatient center in Lake Forest. Couples come here for therapy during the day and go home together each evening.
From first call to first day
Call or send the form
One confidential conversation about what’s going on with both of you. No judgment, no pressure.
We check both policies
Each partner’s treatment is billed to their own plan, so we verify benefits for each of you, for free.
Phone assessment, then start
A staff physician recommends a level of care for each partner. If detox is needed first, we coordinate it.
A level of care for each partner
You start where you need to and step down as you stabilize. Couples sessions are scheduled around both programs.
Partial Hospitalization (PHP)
Most of the day in treatment at our Lake Forest center, home or in sober living at night. A strong start after detox, or when you need daily support.
Intensive Outpatient (IOP)
Several hours a day, several days a week of individual and group therapy, with room left for work, school and family.
Outpatient (OP)
Regular counseling and group therapy as you return to everyday life, with your clinical team still in your corner.
Many couples come to Lake Forest for treatment
Outpatient treatment works for out-of-area couples when you have a safe, sober place to stay nearby. Our admissions team can tell you about independent sober living homes near our center and what’s available for couples.
Housing is arranged and paid for separately from treatment. We’ll be clear about what your insurance covers and what it doesn’t before you make any plans.
It tends to work best when you live together, share triggers, and are both committed to the relationship and to getting sober.
If there is violence, threats or coercive control in the relationship, joint therapy isn’t safe. Every couple is assessed first, and we’ll treat partners individually where needed. If you’re in danger, call 911 or the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233.
