Outpatient Program

Ongoing Support for Recovery and Everyday Life

Ashley Addiction Treatment’s Outpatient Program, or OP, offers flexible, ongoing support for adults who want help with substance use and related mental health concerns while continuing to live at home and manage daily life.

OP can be a helpful choice for people who are stepping down from PHP or IOP, as well as people in active recovery who would benefit from regular counseling and recovery support.

Outpatient treatment gives you a place to check in, talk through challenges, strengthen recovery skills, and stay connected to support as life changes. Many people in OP continue working, attending school, caring for family, and participating in the activities and relationships that matter to them.

How Outpatient Treatment Can Help

Recovery is not just about stopping substance use. It is also about building a life that feels stable, meaningful, and manageable.

OP can help you:

  • Stay connected to counseling and recovery support over time
  • Work through cravings, stress, difficult emotions, and life changes
  • Build routines that support your health and recovery goals
  • Strengthen communication, boundaries, and relationships
  • Create a plan for handling setbacks before they become a crisis
  • Stay focused on goals related to work, school, family, health, or housing
  • Get help connecting with medical care, mental health care, community resources, and recovery supports
  • Continue building on the progress you made in PHP, IOP, residential treatment, or another treatment program

Your counselor will work with you to understand the support system you already have and help identify ways to build additional support in your life that would be helpful to your recovery.

What Happens in Outpatient?

Your treatment plan is based on your needs, goals, strengths, and schedule. Services may include group counseling, individual counseling, and help connecting with other care and community resources.

Your care may include:

  • Group counseling
  • Individual counseling
  • Help creating and updating your treatment plan
  • Recovery planning and support for preventing a return to use
  • Support for mental health concerns that may affect recovery
  • Family support or family therapy, when it is helpful and appropriate
  • Case management and help connecting with community resources
  • Medications for Substance Use Disorder, including help coordinating with qualified medical providers when medication may be helpful
  • Overdose-prevention education and naloxone training
  • Help strengthening recovery supports in your community

Services are based on your individual needs and availability. Your counselor will work with you to create a plan that makes sense for you.

Schedule and Length of Care

Outpatient treatment is individualized. There is no single schedule or fixed number of months that is right for everyone.

Some people begin OP with more frequent groups or individual appointments. As they build stability, practice recovery skills, and feel ready for less support, appointments and groups may gradually taper over time. Others may continue with regular support for longer, especially during periods of stress or change.

You and your treatment team will review your progress regularly and decide together what level of support makes sense.

Is Outpatient Right for You?

OP may be a good fit if you want continued recovery support but do not need the amount of structure provided by PHP or IOP.

It may be helpful if you:

  • Want regular counseling while living at home
  • Are ready for a more flexible treatment schedule
  • Are stepping down from IOP
  • Want help staying focused on recovery while managing work, school, family, or other responsibilities
  • Need support with cravings, stress, relationships, or mental health concerns
  • Want to strengthen your recovery plan and support system
  • Are looking for a place to check in and get help before a challenge becomes a crisis

The first step is an assessment. Ashley’s team will talk with you about what is going on in your life, what support you need, and whether OP is likely to be helpful. Your needs can change over time, and your treatment plan can change with them..

Continue Your Recovery With Support

You do not have to manage recovery on your own. Ashley’s Outpatient Program can help you stay connected, build confidence, and keep moving toward the life you want.
