Many people suffering from an addiction issue find that they need help. For example, they may be struggling with alcoholism, unable to limit their intake appropriately, or fearful of a substance’s role in their lives.
By design, an outpatient program allows you to come to one of our world-class facilities, receive the therapy you need, and return to your home or office at the end of the day. You’ll never need to worry about living arrangements, boarding, or other amenities. Instead, our goal is to make sure that you get the therapy you need and then return to your life. Outpatient therapy is ideal for people looking to begin their treatment journey, who do not need 24/7 monitoring or are in the “maintenance” stage of their recovery.
Fortunately, outpatient therapy is ideal for many patients. Patients who enter any of our facilities to receive such treatment can expect access to treatment that is safe and secure and respects their privacy. We offer a variety of outpatient therapeutic programs, including:
Outpatient therapy can be very intensive and take as much as 10 hours a week. It can also be much more casual and simply involve visiting our facilities once or twice a week for regular therapy or a group therapy appointment. Ultimately, it is between a patient, doctor, and family to decide if inpatient or outpatient therapy is more appropriate for them. However, outpatient therapy works best for someone who can still function in the real world and does not require constant monitoring to ensure that they do not relapse. It can allow someone to continue to work or attend school while getting the help they need, thus minimizing the disruption to their life. It also allows someone to continue to rely on their existing social network while in therapy. This may not be appropriate for some individuals, such as those with particularly toxic social circles.
Ultimately, outpatient treatment isn’t for everyone. You, your loved ones, and your medical team must decide if outpatient or inpatient can serve you better.
Individuals who use our Outpatient Program can expect to learn identical skills and lessons to those who attend our Inpatient Program. These include:
