Outpatient Admissions and Assessment Process

Outpatient treatment begins with a clinical assessment to determine the most appropriate level of care.

The process typically includes:

1. A confidential consultation and insurance review
2. A clinical assessment to evaluate treatment needs
3. Recommendations for IOP or addiction counseling based on clinical findings

All outpatient services are voluntary and designed to support individuals who are able to live at home while engaging in structured treatment.

Active Participation in Outpatient Treatment

Outpatient recovery requires commitment, honesty, and active engagement. Clients are expected to participate fully in scheduled sessions and collaborate with their treatment team.

Successful outpatient treatment involves:

• Consistent attendance
• Open participation in therapy
• Respectful communication with clinicians and peers
• Willingness to apply skills learned outside of sessions

Treatment is designed to support progress while respecting individual responsibilities and autonomy.

Building the Foundation for Long-Term Recovery

Your treatment team works with you to:

• Develop coping and relapse-prevention skills
