Outpatient Programs and Recovery Community Support

The recovery center's intensive outpatient program provides more frequent contact and support for individuals transitioning from higher levels of care or those requiring additional structure in their addiction treatment. Both program levels focus on developing coping strategies through cognitive behavioral therapy while addressing the underlying factors contributing to substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions.
