Young people who are motivated for change, ready to take the necessary steps to learn to abstain from substance usage, and who have a supportive living environment (family, school, neighborhood and friends) are typically recommended to some level of outpatient treatment. Our outpatient services include Outpatient Treatment, Intensive Outpatient Treatment, and Day Treatment.

Outpatient treatment involves participating in treatment groups from one to eight hours per week. Treatment is scheduled around the individual's specific needs. The intensity of the program can be increased or decreased depending on the progress made. Treatment groups include drug/alcohol education, decision-making skills, coping styles, communication skills, self-esteem, life skills, relapse prevention and family issues.

Intensive Outpatient Treatment (IOPT) is designed for those young people who are experiencing significant substance abuse problems but are demonstrating a willingness to work toward a substance-free lifestyle while remaining in their home environment. IOPT requires much more intensive group participation than regular outpatient services. A young person typically is required to attend from nine to 12 hours of group each week for two to four weeks. The groups assigned have been determined to best meet the needs of each young person. These groups may include: communication/decision-making skills, drug education, leisure education, life skills, stress management, self-esteem, relapse prevention, group counseling, and family group.

Day Treatment is designed for those young people in need of the type of intensive services provided in residential treatment, but who do not require being removed from their home environment. Day Treatment is more intensive than IOPT in that the services are available seven days a week and typically involves participation in a minimum of 12 hours of groups each week. A young person participating in this program attends treatment groups offered on the residential units during the day and returns to his or her home in the evening. The length of treatment each day is determined on an individual basis, with the capability of increasing or decreasing the involvement as the need arises. The young people in this program receive homebound tutoring services available to the residential clients.
