What to expect

A clear plan, reviewed as needs change.

01

Assessment first

The team reviews substance use, withdrawal and relapse risk, health, functioning, readiness, recovery supports, and goals before recommending a level of care.

02

Individualized planning

Services and goals are organized around the person while keeping alcohol or drug use disorder as the primary treatment focus.

03

Ongoing review

Progress, participation, safety, and medical necessity inform continued care and any step-down recommendation.

04

Transition planning

Planning includes the supports and next level of care needed to continue progress after this program.

Important: Outpatient care is not a substitute for emergency or inpatient treatment. Service availability and clinical fit are confirmed through assessment.
