Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How many hours per week is the Outpatient Program?

Our OP typically requires 3-6 hours per week, usually spread across 1-3 days. This can include group therapy, individual counseling, and family sessions. The exact schedule is tailored to your clinical needs and availability.

Can I work full-time while in the Outpatient Program?

Absolutely. The OP is designed specifically for individuals who need to maintain full-time work, school, or family responsibilities. We offer evening and weekend sessions to accommodate your schedule.

What's the difference between OP and IOP?

IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program) requires 9-12 hours weekly and is more structured, while OP requires 3-6 hours weekly with greater flexibility. OP is typically for those who have completed IOP or need less intensive ongoing support.

Do I need to live in sober living to attend OP?

No, you don't need to live in sober living for OP. Many clients live at home with family or independently. However, having a stable, supportive living environment is important for success in outpatient treatment.

How long does the Outpatient Program last?

OP duration varies based on individual needs, typically ranging from 8-12 weeks or longer. Some clients continue for several months as ongoing support. Your treatment team will regularly assess your progress and adjust the length of stay accordingly.

Does insurance cover Outpatient treatment?

Yes, most insurance plans cover outpatient addiction treatment. We accept major insurance providers including Aetna, BlueCross BlueShield, Cigna, and UnitedHealthcare. Our admissions team will verify your benefits and explain your coverage.

What happens after I complete the Outpatient Program?

After completing OP, we develop an aftercare plan that may include alumni support groups, ongoing individual therapy, 12-step meeting attendance, and sober community involvement. We remain available for continued support as needed.

Can I attend OP if I'm on medication-assisted treatment (MAT)?

Yes, we fully support medication-assisted treatment for opioid and alcohol use disorders. Our medical team can coordinate with your prescribing physician or provide MAT services through our program.
