Sunrise Treatment Center/Middletown

Sunrise Treatment Center's Middletown facility offers two outpatient levels of care for adults working through substance use and addiction: a standard Outpatient Program and an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). These tracks are built for people who are past the acute phase of addiction and are focused on the sustained, day-to-day work of recovery — maintaining responsibilities at home or work while engaging in structured treatment.

The IOP provides a more intensive schedule of clinical services for those who need deeper support without transitioning to residential treatment. Both programs are available to men and women, including pregnant women and those entering treatment through the court system, reflecting the center's commitment to meeting people where they are in their recovery journey.

One of the defining features of Sunrise Treatment Center Middletown is its treatment of co-occurring disorders — the clinical term for when a mental health condition and a substance use disorder exist at the same time. Many people in long-term recovery find that untreated mental health challenges were a significant factor in their substance use, and addressing both within the same outpatient program is a meaningful advantage.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the therapeutic method confirmed at this location. CBT is a structured, skill-based approach that helps people recognize and shift the thinking patterns connected to addictive behavior. The skills built in CBT sessions have practical applications in daily life, making them relevant not just during active treatment but throughout the ongoing recovery process.

This center is designed to serve a diverse recovery community. Populations explicitly served include men, women, pregnant women, individuals who are Deaf or hard-of-hearing, and people referred through the court system. The inclusion of Deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals reflects an intentional effort to serve a population that is frequently overlooked by addiction treatment programs.

The center accepts Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, self-pay, and offers a sliding scale fee option. This range of payment methods reflects a genuine effort to reduce financial barriers to substance abuse treatment for people across different economic situations in the Middletown and Butler County area.

Sunrise Treatment Center Middletown holds an Opioid Treatment Program (OTP) certification, a formal designation that distinguishes it from general outpatient substance abuse treatment providers. OTP certification indicates the center meets federal and state regulatory standards for opioid treatment delivery in an outpatient setting.

Combined with CARF accreditation — an internationally recognized standard for rehabilitation and addiction treatment quality — this center carries two independent markers of clinical credentialing that matter for individuals and families evaluating long-term recovery partners rather than short-term crisis resources.
