Recovery is a gradual process, and each step forward deserves the right level of care. At Pyramid Healthcare West Virginia, our low-intensity residential program (ASAM Level 3.1) offers continued structure and support for men who have already made progress in treatment but still benefit from a recovery-focused environment.

Located in Hedgesville at the Martinsburg Residential Treatment Center, this program bridges the gap between high-intensity residential treatment and full independence. Clients continue to receive clinical guidance, therapy and peer support while rebuilding confidence and preparing for a stable, self-directed life in recovery.

What is Low-Intensity Residential Treatment?

Low-intensity residential treatment provides a supportive, structured setting for men who no longer need 24-hour intensive medical supervision but are not yet ready to transition to outpatient care or independent living.

This level of care emphasizes accountability, personal responsibility and continued therapeutic engagement. Clients live on-site in a safe environment while gradually gaining more autonomy, learning how to apply recovery skills in real-world situations.

Who Benefits from This Level of Care?

This program is ideal for men who:

  • Have completed detox or high-intensity residential treatment and need continued structure
  • Are working to strengthen relapse prevention and coping skills
  • Need a stable, recovery-oriented living environment before returning home
  • Want to develop independence while maintaining professional clinical support
  • Are rebuilding relationships, employment readiness and life skills after early recovery

Our admissions team can help determine whether low-intensity residential care is the right next step in your recovery journey.

What to Expect in the Program

The low-intensity residential program focuses on reinforcing healthy routines, strengthening recovery tools and developing the life skills necessary for long-term success. Each client receives an individualized treatment plan designed to meet their ongoing clinical, emotional and practical needs.

Program features include:

  • Individual and group therapy sessions
  • Continued relapse prevention planning
  • Life skills and employment readiness programming
  • Peer and community support activities
  • Access to medical and psychiatric care when needed
  • Recovery-focused education and goal setting

Our team of licensed therapists and counselors provides the structure and guidance men need to maintain accountability while learning to navigate increased independence.

Why Structure Matters During Transition

Early recovery can be unpredictable, especially when transitioning from an intensive treatment setting. The low-intensity residential level allows men to practice self-management and responsibility while remaining supported by a professional care team.

This balance between structure and independence helps clients:

  • Strengthen decision-making and coping skills
  • Build confidence in managing daily life
  • Maintain sobriety while reintegrating into work or community settings
  • Establish a healthy support network for long-term recovery

A Day in Low-Intensity Residential Treatment

While the pace of this program is more flexible than higher levels of care, days remain structured to encourage consistency and accountability. A typical day may include:

  • Morning check-ins and goal-setting sessions
  • Group or individual therapy
  • Employment and education workshops
  • Recreational and wellness activities
  • Time for reflection, peer connection and personal growth

This combination of structure and flexibility allows men to transition smoothly toward independent living while keeping recovery at the center of their daily routine.
