Outpatient and Day Treatment Programs

The ultimate goal of our outpatient treatment program is long-term abstinence from drugs and alcohol. This is achieved by educating and treating clients so that they may re-enter society and lead responsible, successful drug and alcohol free lives by using our proven tools of recovery. We recognize and fulfill each client’s needs by helping them attain a thorough understanding of themselves and the recovery process.

Outpatient Treatment Program

Our CARF-accredited outpatient treatment programs are designed for clients who do not require a more structured environment to maintain sobriety and who are not in acute withdrawal. Treatment includes individualized treatment planning, educational and process groups several times per week, and individual counseling. Appropriate referrals are made to community-based self help groups, vocational agencies, and other necessary ancillary services. Outpatient Treatment gives the individual an opportunity to interact with the real world environment while still benefiting from a peer-oriented, structured therapeutic program. Clients’ progress is assessed regularly by clinical staff to help determine the length of the program for each participant. Safe, supportive living in our sober living homes is highly recommended during the outpatient treatment process.
