Counseling Center Outpatient

Counseling Center Outpatient structures its addiction treatment around two primary levels of care: standard outpatient programs and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP). The outpatient program serves individuals who need ongoing recovery support while maintaining work, family, and community responsibilities. This flexible approach allows participants to build sustainable recovery practices within their existing life structure.

The intensive outpatient program provides more concentrated substance abuse treatment for those requiring additional support during early recovery or after completing residential treatment. IOP participants benefit from structured programming while gradually rebuilding independence within the Portsmouth community. Both programs address co-occurring mental health conditions alongside addiction, recognizing that comprehensive treatment leads to stronger long-term recovery outcomes.

Established in 1970, Counseling Center Outpatient has witnessed and adapted to five decades of changes in addiction treatment and recovery approaches. This longevity reflects deep roots within the Portsmouth community and understanding of local recovery challenges. The center's location on North Locust Street provides accessible treatment for residents throughout Scioto County.

The facility's CARF accreditation demonstrates commitment to maintaining national quality standards while serving local needs. State substance abuse agency licensing ensures compliance with Ohio treatment regulations. This combination of community presence and professional credentialing creates a recovery center that balances local familiarity with recognized treatment standards.

Understanding that recovery doesn't follow a standard business schedule, Counseling Center Outpatient operates Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 8 PM, with Saturday hours from 9 AM to 5 PM. This extended availability accommodates working individuals, parents with school-age children, and others whose recovery needs must fit around existing responsibilities.

The center's scheduling flexibility particularly benefits those transitioning from residential treatment back into Portsmouth community life. Evening hours allow participation in aftercare programming without sacrificing employment stability. Weekend availability provides additional recovery support during times when other community resources may be limited.
