Treatment that Fits Real Life
Structured care • Stay at home • Keep work & family commitments

Understanding Outpatient Care
Outpatient treatment delivers professional services on a regular schedule—days or evenings—while you live at home. It’s effective for many with mild–moderate substance use disorders, for step-down after inpatient care, or for anyone needing structure and support.
Flexibility
Maintain work, school, and family responsibilities.
Accessibility
Lower cost than residential care; local options.
Continuity
Practice new skills in real-life settings between sessions.
Support
Build recovery while staying connected to home & community.
