Treatment Overview
Outpatient Treatment Programs
Outpatient treatment protocols may include any one or a combination of the following:
- Detox - the medically supervised gradual removal of the abused substance from your system
- Medication - a number of clinically approved medications are now available to treat addictive disorders
- Outpatient counseling - a hour or two a week of counseling with a certified substance abuse counselor
- Intensive Outpatient - 2-3 hours per day, three times per week in a group setting with a certified substance abuse counselor
- Continuing Care - since addiction is a chronic disease, regular ongoing contact with a treatment provider maximizes treatment success
