Outpatient Substance Use Disorder Treatment Program

Outpatient Substance Use Disorder Treatment Program

Healing House provides outpatient treatment and recovery support services for individuals who suffer from substance use disorders. These services include group therapy, counseling, classes, and recovery coaching.  Our services are provided by a team of professional therapists, substance abuse counselors, and certified peer support specialists. This approach combines clinical expertise with lived experience, ensuring a well-rounded support system for participants. Those involved with the outpatient treatment program stay in one of our beginner recovery homes; Cornerstone, Mama Judi’s, or Purple House.

The ASAM Criteria

Healing House’s treatment services align with the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) six dimensions of care, ensuring a comprehensive, holistic, and personalized treatment approach. These dimensions allow practitioners to evaluate each participant across multiple aspects of their life and health, promoting long-term recovery.

  1. Intoxication, Withdrawal, and Addiction Medications: Assessing the participant’s immediate risk of intoxication, withdrawal symptoms, and need for medication management related to addiction.
  2. Biomedical Conditions: Identifying and addressing any physical health issues, illnesses, or medical conditions that could impact recovery.
  3. Psychiatric and Cognitive Conditions: Evaluating mental health conditions, cognitive functioning, or co-occurring psychiatric disorders to provide integrated treatment for both addiction and mental health challenges.
  4. Substance Use-Related Risks: Assessing the severity of the participant’s substance use, its impact on their life, and the potential for continued use or relapse.
  5. Recovery Environment Interactions: Examining external influences like family, social network, living situation, and work that either support or hinder the participant’s recovery journey.
  6. Person-Centered Considerations: Taking into account the participant’s unique circumstances, including motivation for change, personal preferences, cultural background, and readiness to engage in treatment.

This multidimensional assessment helps tailor care plans that are deeply individualized, improving outcomes for participants at Healing House.

Two levels of care are available:

  1. Level 1 outpatient treatment consists of treatment for substance use that is less than 9 hours a week. Level 1 is appropriate for people with less severe disorders, or as a step-down from more intensive services.
  2. Level 2.1 is intensive outpatient services consisting of at least 9 and no more than 20 hours per week of treatment.

Therapy groups meet in the evenings at 6:00 PM and 7:30 PM. Intensive Outpatient programming is on Monday – Friday, 8:00 to 4:00 PM with various options available.  (download the schedule)
