Frequently Asked Questions
Will an Intensive Outpatient Treatment Program Help Me? Outpatient treatment programs work best for men and women who have some structure in their lives, e.g., married, in a committed relationship, or have supportive family members, and are working or going to school. We see many people succeed who are willing to do the footwork necessary for recovery. We require you to stop your alcohol or drug use for 3-5 days prior to the start of treatment. If you are unable to stop your use on your own, we will help coordinate a referral for your detoxification, prior to admission, in a hospital or physician office setting, depending on the substance and amount used in the past 3-4 weeks.
Inpatient or residential treatment, (usually 30+ days is best) is recommended when the alcohol and/or drug addiction has progressed to create a severe disruption in the person’s ability to function physically, including medical complications. Other reasons for inpatient treatment include severe conflicts in the immediate family that actively sabotage treatment, or being unable to cope for even limited periods of time outside a structured 24 hour environment without supervision. What Outpatient programs do you offer? Intensive Outpatient Treatment Programs DAY Women Only (12 hours per week)
