Treating Substance Use at the Level That’s Right for You

March 20, 2026

Canvas Health offers Substance Use Treatment with two levels of care, 1.0 (Outpatient) and 2.1 (Intensive Outpatient). Although there are common elements, there are also important distinctions between the two levels of care:

Level 1.0 Outpatient

Level 2.1 Intensive Outpatient

Both levels of care are MAT (Medication Assisted Therapy) friendly, use evidence-based practices, and include random UA testing throughout the course of treatment. Both levels of care involve collaboration with any other interested professionals, such as mental health professionals, probation agents, social workers, and primary care physicians.

How do I determine which level of care I need?

Unless you have been recommended to enter one of our programs as “step-down” from a higher level of care, the first step in determining the need for substance use treatment and the appropriate level of care is to schedule a Substance Use Comprehensive Assessment. If you have already completed one, the recommendation for level of care is typically found at the end of the assessment.

Canvas Health offers substance use treatment under a hybrid model. We have multiple locations offering in-person programming and offer telehealth programming to individuals who meet our telehealth guidelines. To request an appointment, fill out an online request or call to speak with an intake coordinator.
