Outpatient services are offered afternoon and evening to accommodate life needs and obligations such as work, school, and child care. Most individuals begin at the Intensive Outpatient Program level of care and step down.
As patients progress through treatment, services are focused on continued engagement and assessment of the stages of change. Evidence-based practices include patient-centered counseling, cognitive behavioral counseling, motivational interviewing and problem-solving strategies. Self-directed treatment plan goals, focused on the individual’s specific areas of need, are developed for each patient.
