Outpatient Treatment
Outpatient treatment is an intensive, conveniently structured treatment program for those individuals able to abstain from use of alcohol and other drugs while involved in the treatment process.
Phase II and Relapse
Phase II and relapse prevention services provide support and stability for ongoing recovery of individuals who have completed primary treatment. Both the men’s and women’s aftercare groups focus on issues such as coping skills, securing ongoing support, family and marital dynamics, work pressures, socializing, spirituality, relaxation and stress management.
Relapse prevention may be recommended for those considered “high risk” for returning to substance use. Relapse prevention builds awareness of a person’s personal relapse process. The goal is to explore old patterns and new choices to stop the cycle from repeating.
