Substance Use Disorder Outpatient Care

Providing support for those healing from substance use disorders is our focus. Much of the time, outpatient services are more convenient or appropriate for our patients. Those who don’t require inpatient care will have all the benefits of those using inpatient services with the option of a more integrated care experience. We help you reach your healthy lifestyle goals with our expert care.

Outpatient Program

Outpatient services provide a specialized level of care that may not be available to all patients. We can provide structure on your terms, so you can begin your healing journey. Our outpatient programs are tailored to suit the needs of each patient, so you receive the best luxury care.

We focus on treating substance use disorders as well as any underlying mental health conditions. Often, untreated co-occurring disorders cause people to experience a relapse. The combination of mental health issues and substance use disorders is common, and treating both concerns together increases the likelihood of a successful recovery.

In our programs, a great deal of emphasis is placed on not only counseling, but also on medical care for those suffering from substance use disorder. However, patients who use our outpatient services can also experience programs such as support groups that meet at a variety of times during the week. People in our outpatient program can still attend school or go to work. After their commitments, they can appear for their set treatment times for medication and mental health services. They then return home or to a sober living facility at the end of the day.

Intensive Outpatient Program

Not all programs are alike. The intensive outpatient program, or IOP, is much more focused than a traditional substance use disorder treatment program. We offer care that is based on science and has been proven to assist those in need of treatment. IOP can often be a “step up” from other outpatient care, as the program itself is more regimented and structured. It is considered a “step down” from a partial hospitalization program (PHP).

If you’ve already experienced a detoxification program, the IOP may be the best choice for you. Once you’ve contacted our care team, we’ll be able to best assess your needs to provide you with the best luxury care possible. We tailor your program so that you’ll be prepared for a fresh, sober lifestyle upon completion. Rehabilitation is a process, but we offer support each step of the way to ease any concerns or worries. With more knowledge at our disposal than ever before, we have the skills to help your story be a successful one.

An IOP requires shorter and fewer visits a week than a partial hospitalization program. As the patient’s needs change and they are experiencing success with their program, fewer or shorter visits may be required. An IOP may take longer than traditional inpatient care, due to the nature of the program.

Partial Hospitalization Program

Deciding on the best care for your struggle with substance use begins with evaluating your needs. With an evaluation by a mental health provider, you can decide if a partial hospitalization program is the best option for you. Some of the qualifiers for PHP may include:

Medication Management icon

Medical stability

Education icon

Difficulty participating at school or work

Individual Counseling icon

Struggling with co-occurring disorders

Support Groups icon

Motivation to engage in treatment

Healing Space icon

Still suffering through symptoms of withdrawal

Family Visits icon

Currently not a risk to onself or others

This kind of treatment can be more intensive than IOP, but less intensive than full inpatient care. IOP provides structure and allows a patient to continue participating in their outside lives. PHP, however, requires the patient to participate in more sessions throughout the week to maintain healthy sobriety. PHP doesn’t require the patient to stay in residential care.

Typically, PHP maintains a schedule of five facility visits a week, but that will depend on the needs of each patient. The length of each visit will also vary. The needs of the patient are our utmost concern.

Co-Occurring Disorders

Treating both mental health disorders and substance use disorders leads to a greater level of success. Some different mental health disorders that occur alongside substance use disorders include:
  • Mood disorders including anxiety
  • Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
  • Bipolar disorder
  • Major depressive disorder
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Schizophrenia
These are some of the more common mental health disorders that co-occur with substance use disorder. The most commonly used substances include:
  • Alcohol
  • Hallucinogens, including LSD, PCP, and ketamine
  • Marijuana
  • Prescription drugs
  • Opioids
  • Stimulants including cocaine and amphetamines
While there are no specific combinations that are more likely to co-occur, each of these has a higher potential to be part of a diagnosis. A co-occurring disorder, or dual diagnosis, frequently benefits from an outpatient program because those participating in the program will still have a connection with their support network. Outpatient programs can also be ideal for those who have already experienced a detox treatment and are ready to have more freedom in their program. Additionally, outpatient programs work well for those who need the benefit of a structured program and accountability.

Treating both parts of a dual diagnosis is integral to a patient’s success.

Different programs at varying levels of intensity are available for outpatient services, but some of the common treatment options may include:

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)

Individual Counseling icon

Coping skills

1 on 1 Attention icon

Interpersonal skills

Exercise icon

Yoga

Open Policy icon

Meditation/mindfulness
