Outpatient Programs
Clients in outpatient care receive medical and mental health assessments, personalized care planning, and comprehensive case management. Those in alcohol and/or opioid recovery may enroll in the evidence-based MAT program for longer-term pharmacotherapy. This treatment is designed to reduce cravings, minimize withdrawal symptoms, prevent potentially serious complications, and decrease relapse risk. Outpatient clients also engage in intensive, trauma-informed individual, group, and family counseling and robust, age-specific life-skills training. Topics of focus include coping, self-care, emotional regulation, anger and stress management, and relapse prevention. An array of evidence-based complementary therapies is also available, including experiential therapy.

Aftercare Services
Their aftercare services ensure a complete continuum of care aligned with clients’ evolving needs. These services may include step-down support, sober living transitions, academic and vocational training, employment and housing assistance, and referrals for additional medical, mental health, and social service programs.
