What to Expect Upon Arrival at Our Outpatient Center

Once you’ve made the life-changing decision to enroll in our program and you have arrived at one of our outpatient centers, you’ll first be greeted warmly by our staff because kindness and compassion are at the heart of what we do. Next, you’ll be evaluated both mentally and physically. These evaluations are used to formulate a specific treatment plan that is suited to your needs. 

Within our immersive addiction recovery programming, your personalized treatment plan options will encompass a variety of core therapies and services. 

  • Group Counseling – As addiction is an isolating disorder, group counseling sessions are the foundational part of the services we provide. It is through a connection with others who understand your experiences and struggles, you come out of isolation and begin to heal.  
  • Individual Counseling – There are times where you may need to work through personal issues that will be better addressed individually. Our experienced counselors, clinicians, and therapists provide a minimum of weekly sessions to anyone enrolled in our substance abuse treatment programs. 
  • Peer Services – In addition to those clinical services offered, with the supports of a certified peer recovery specialist, specific guidance, coaching and support is offered to help you focus on your unique needs and goals

What to Expect During Treatment at Our Outpatient Center

Once our expert counselors have determined the best path for your recovery, then your therapy will begin. One or more of these therapy options will be available to you:

  • Cognitive-behavioral therapy – This type of therapy focuses on patients changing their negative self-image. Also, cognitive-behavioral therapy helps to alleviate negative thinking, which can sabotage any attempt at recovery. 
  • Dialectical behavior therapy – Along with cognitive-behavioral therapy, this therapy is designed so that patients will gain positive and healthy techniques to deal with the grind of day-to-day life. Additionally, dialectical behavior therapy encourages patients to regulate their emotions, which in turn leads to fewer relapses.
  • Motivational interviewing – People with substance abuse disorders might become irrational and despondent over time due to the effects of their addiction. This type of therapy teaches patients to be practical and empathetic so that they work to resolve their insecurities.
