Things to consider when choosing an outpatient program:
📈 Level of Care – outpatient programs vary in how many weekly hours of treatment they provide. Look for a program that matches the level of support and structure you need in your recovery journey, whether you’re stepping down from residential or trying to balance recovery with work and family life.
🤸 Flexibility – programs vary in which days of the week and times of the day they’re offered. Consider programs that closely align with your schedule.
🏆 Licensed Clinicians – Make sure any program you’re considering has licensed professionals. This will ensure treatment will be evidence-based and credible.
📝 Approach – Many programs will combine aspects like group and individual therapy, medication management, therapeutic activities, and random uranalysis to give you a structured and supportive environment. It’s helpful to choose a program with variety to give you a broad approach and the chance to learn what is most helpful to you.
Despite considering all these things, it still may feel uncomfortable the first few times going to treatment. But there is comfort in the uncomfortable – new environments can take time to settle in, but the challenge will bring about growth we never could have imagined.
