It is a flexible treatment option for individuals recovering from substance use disorders or mental health challenges who require less intensive care than what’s offered in inpatient or intensive outpatient settings.

There is no set time frame for outpatient care, it is individualized for each client based on their
needs.

Typically, outpatient involves attending therapy sessions 1-3 times per week, with each session lasting an hour. A treatment plan is individualized based on the patient’s specific needs and may include a combination of individual therapy, group therapy, family counseling, and educational workshops. Patients also receive guidance on developing healthy coping strategies, improving interpersonal skills, and managing stress or triggers that may impact their recovery.

The focus of outpatient is on continued progress in recovery, relapse prevention, and the development of long-term coping mechanisms.
