Frequently Asked Questions
Can I keep my job while attending Outpatient Treatment?
Yes. Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is specifically designed for professionals and parents. We offer evening and flexible daytime schedules that allow you to maintain your work and family commitments while receiving structured clinical care.
Is outpatient treatment as effective as residential rehab?
For the right candidate, yes. Studies show that IOP is highly effective for individuals who have a stable, substance-free home environment and a strong support system. However, for those with severe dependency or unstable living situations, we may recommend residential care first to ensure safety.
How often do I need to attend?
Our standard IOP track requires attendance 3 to 4 days per week, typically for 3 hours per session. This frequency ensures you maintain momentum in your recovery while still having time for your daily responsibilities.
Is there drug testing in the outpatient program?
Yes. To ensure a safe environment for all group members and to provide personal accountability, we conduct random, non-invasive drug screenings throughout the duration of the program.
What happens if I relapse during the program?
Relapse is often a sign that the treatment plan needs adjustment, not that you have failed. If a relapse occurs, our clinical team will assess the situation to determine if you need increased support (such as a brief medical detox or residential stay) or if we simply need to refine your relapse prevention strategy.
