What Is Outpatient Addiction Treatment (OP)?
Our OP is a step-down from Intensive Outpatient (IOP), offering flexible support for maintaining sobriety. After a thorough clinical and medical assessment, we create a personalized Treatment Plan. This holistic approach treats you as a whole person—not just the addiction.
We address substance use alongside underlying issues, such as neurocognitive disorders (brain changes from trauma affecting thinking and memory) or negative behaviors from untreated mental health.
OP suits those with jobs, family responsibilities, and strong social support. It involves regular office visits for counseling, medication support, or both—while living at home.

Program Requirements and Structure
Each Treatment Plan is unique, but our OP typically follows IOP (which starts at 5 days/week and tapers to 3 over 3 months). Minimum OP commitment:
- One (1) group session per week: Peer support and skill-building.
- One (1) individual session per week: Personalized counseling.
- One (1) drug screening per week: Ensures accountability.
Programs vary in intensity. Many complete OP in 8-12 weeks, with alumni support ongoing. Integrated dual diagnosis care improves retention by 30-50% vs. separate treatment (SAMHSA Evidence-Based Practices KIT, 2024).
