What it is
What is Outpatient Treatment?
Outpatient is ongoing weekly or biweekly clinical care — typically a mix of individual therapy and group therapy, with psychiatric care and medication management as needed. It's the right level for clients who have completed higher levels of care, or who present without acute symptoms.
Most clients attend outpatient for 6 months to a year or longer, gradually reducing frequency as recovery stabilizes.
