About Standard Outpatient
Standard outpatient treatment offers flexible, ongoing support while you maintain your daily responsibilities. NW Recovery Centers helps you find outpatient programs that fit your schedule and recovery needs.
What Outpatient Treatment Involves
Typical outpatient services include:
- Weekly individual therapy with an addiction counselor
- Group therapy sessions with peers in recovery
- Relapse prevention education and planning
- Drug and alcohol testing and accountability
- Referrals to community resources and support groups
Who Is a Good Fit
Standard outpatient works well for individuals with milder addictions, strong motivation for recovery, stable housing, and supportive home environments. It's also commonly used as a step-down from intensive outpatient or residential programs.
Maintaining Recovery Long-Term
Many people continue standard outpatient therapy for months or even years as part of their long-term recovery plan. Combined with 12-step meetings, SMART Recovery, or other peer support, outpatient treatment helps sustain the progress made in earlier treatment phases.
