Intensive outpatient is a step down from inpatient treatment but still functions as a highly structured recovery program. It requires participation seven days per week, 1½ to 3 hours per day. Participants are able to return to their homes in the evening and can often continue working or handling family responsibilities while receiving treatment. Educational topics related to addiction and the issues surrounding addiction are incorporated into the program. Many of the same topics covered in inpatient treatment will be addressed.

The outpatient program at Safe Refuge does not require daily participation and is considered a step down from intensive outpatient care. There are morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend programs available. The staff works with each person to help create a customized treatment plan that meets individual needs and goals.
