Care That Meets You Where You Are
At Bold Steps, treatment is built around your life — not the other way around. Here is what sets our outpatient care in Harrisburg apart.
Local & Outpatient
Treatment in Harrisburg, PA designed around real life. You attend programming and return home each day — staying connected to family, work, and your community throughout recovery.
Trauma Therapy & EMDR
Unresolved trauma often sits underneath addiction and mental health struggles. Our clinicians offer trauma-informed care, including EMDR, to help you process the past and build healthier ways to cope.
Dual-Track Care
Separate, dedicated pathways for mental health and substance use mean your treatment plan is built around what you actually need — and addresses co-occurring conditions together when they overlap.
Family & Group Support
Healing is stronger in community. We offer bi-weekly family support groups and a monthly alumni group so you and your loved ones stay supported throughout and after treatment.
Our Difference
Trauma Therapy & EMDR
For many people, addiction and mental health struggles are connected to trauma that has never been fully addressed — whether from loss, abuse, or difficult experiences carried for years. Treating the surface without addressing the root often makes lasting change harder to reach.
Our clinicians provide trauma-informed care, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an evidence-based therapy that helps people process distressing memories in a safe, structured way. Integrated into individual and group sessions, this approach helps you understand the past, ease its hold, and build healthier ways to cope.
- Evidence-based EMDR with trained clinicians
- Trauma-informed individual and group therapy
- Care for PTSD and trauma-related conditions
- A safe, judgment-free space to do the work
Dual-Track Care: Mental Health & Substance Use
Bold Steps offers separate, dedicated pathways for mental health and addiction — and treats co-occurring conditions together when they overlap. Here are the conditions we support.
Mental Health Pathway
Compassionate, evidence-based care for adults living with mental health conditions — with trauma-informed therapy woven throughout.
Substance Use Pathway
Structured, supportive outpatient treatment for substance use disorders, with care for the whole person — mind, body, and relationships.
Outpatient Programs Built Around Your Life
From the structure of partial hospitalization to flexible intensive outpatient and continuing care, every program is delivered locally in Harrisburg — so you can heal while staying home.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
Structured daytime treatment — while you live at home
Our Partial Hospitalization Program offers the most structured level of outpatient care at Bold Steps. You attend treatment for several hours a day, multiple days a week, and return home each evening. PHP is well suited for adults who need intensive clinical support — individual therapy, group sessions, medication management, and skill-building — but do not require around-the-clock supervision. It can serve as a step down from a higher level of care or a starting point for those who need focused, daily support close to home in the Harrisburg area.
- Several hours of structured programming per day
- Individual and group therapy with licensed clinicians
- Medication management and psychiatric coordination
- Return home each evening — stay connected to your life
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Flexible, focused care that fits around work and family
Our Intensive Outpatient Program provides meaningful clinical structure with the flexibility to keep working, attending school, or caring for your family. IOP typically meets several times a week for group and individual therapy, building the coping skills and community support needed to navigate everyday triggers. It is a strong fit for adults stepping down from PHP, as well as those who need more than weekly therapy but want to remain fully engaged in their daily routine here in central Pennsylvania.
- Several group and individual sessions each week
- Coping skills, relapse prevention, and peer support
- Schedules built around work, school, and family
- Outpatient — you continue living at home
Outpatient & Continuing Care
Ongoing support as you build a life in recovery
Recovery continues well beyond the most intensive phases of treatment. Our general outpatient and continuing care services provide a flexible level of support — regular individual therapy, check-ins, and connection to our alumni and family programs — to help you maintain the progress you have made. This level of care is designed for adults who have completed PHP or IOP, or who need consistent professional support while managing the responsibilities of daily life.
- Regular individual therapy and clinical check-ins
- Connection to alumni and family support groups
- Long-term relapse-prevention planning
- Whole-person, outpatient support close to home
Family & Group Support
Recovery does not happen in isolation. Addiction and mental health affect the whole family, and healing is stronger when loved ones are part of the journey. At Bold Steps, support extends beyond the individual to the people who matter most.
Bi-Weekly Family Support Groups
Every other week, families come together in a supportive, guided setting to learn about the recovery process, ask questions, and find encouragement alongside others who understand.
Monthly Alumni Group
Once a month, our alumni community reconnects to celebrate progress, share experiences, and stay supported long after a program ends — because recovery is an ongoing journey.
