Ongoing weekly therapy for sustained recovery. Our outpatient program provides continued clinical support as you maintain your daily life and build on the progress you've made in higher levels of care.
“The outpatient program let me keep working and living my life while still having that weekly check-in that kept me on track. I never felt alone in my recovery.”
Our outpatient program provides ongoing weekly clinical support as you reintegrate into daily life. Built for clients stepping down from IOP or those ready to begin recovery at a flexible pace.
Each week includes individual therapy with your assigned clinician and a group therapy session with peers at the same stage of recovery. Medication management with our Nurse Practitioner is available as needed, and your case manager remains accessible for external referrals, housing support, or any life logistics that arise.
Relapse prevention planning is woven into every session, giving you practical tools to navigate triggers, cravings, and high-risk situations as you build independence in your recovery.
You'll attend once per week, spending focused time with your clinician reviewing progress, processing challenges, and refining coping strategies. Sessions build directly on the foundations laid during PHP and IOP — reinforcing skills you've already developed while addressing new situations as they arise.
The emphasis shifts toward maintaining sobriety independently, increasing personal responsibility, and strengthening the routines and relationships that support long-term recovery. Your clinician adjusts the focus based on where you are each week.
Sessions are scheduled once per week at a time that works with your schedule. There is no fixed end date — the program continues as long as you and your clinical team agree it's beneficial. Our Nurse Practitioner is available as needed for ongoing medication management.
You can enroll directly into outpatient care or step down from our IOP program. Either way, you'll receive the same quality clinical attention and personalized treatment planning that defines every level of care at Trailhead.
Attend just once per week at a time that fits your work, school, and family commitments. Recovery on your schedule.
Stay connected to your clinical team long after stepping down from intensive care. Consistent support reduces relapse risk.
Every week includes one-on-one time with your therapist and a group session with peers — both formats work together to reinforce your recovery.
Transition seamlessly from IOP with the same clinical team, familiar environment, and treatment philosophy. No starting over.
Every session reinforces trigger identification, coping strategies, and real-world skill application. Prevention is woven into everything we do.
Attend sessions virtually when in-person isn't possible. Telehealth keeps your care consistent through travel, illness, or schedule conflicts.
Our Nurse Practitioner remains available as needed for medication adjustments, refills, and check-ins throughout your outpatient care.
Outpatient clients are part of the Trailhead alumni community — recovery events, peer support, and a network that lasts beyond formal treatment.
Family therapy sessions and monthly Zoom support groups keep your loved ones involved and informed as your recovery evolves.
Need a psychiatrist, housing support, legal aid, or vocational services? Your case manager connects you with trusted community resources.
Stay as long as it serves your recovery. There's no arbitrary timeline — you and your clinician decide together when the time is right to graduate.

Weekly Sessions
Whether you're stepping down from IOP or enrolling directly, your outpatient journey begins with a clinical assessment and collaborative goal setting. Your therapist reviews your history, current strengths, and areas of focus to create a treatment plan tailored to this stage of recovery. If medication management is needed, we'll coordinate a Nurse Practitioner appointment. This phase establishes a clear picture of where you are and what you want to achieve.
Each week, you'll meet with your therapist for an individual session focused on the goals you've set — processing challenges from the week, reinforcing coping skills, and addressing any new triggers or stressors. Group therapy provides a peer support component where you can share experiences and learn from others at a similar point in recovery. Your clinician draws from CBT, DBT, ACT, and motivational interviewing based on what resonates with you.
Between sessions, you're living your life — working, caring for family, rebuilding relationships. The outpatient structure is designed so that your weekly session becomes an anchor point: a consistent space to reflect, recalibrate, and stay accountable.
As your recovery stabilizes, sessions focus increasingly on long-term integration — building sustainable routines, deepening community connections, and handling life's inevitable stressors without returning to old patterns. Family therapy may continue to strengthen relationships that support your sobriety. Your case manager ensures any external needs (housing, vocational support, legal matters) are being addressed.
When you and your clinician agree you've met your treatment goals and built a solid foundation for independent recovery, you'll graduate from the outpatient program. But leaving doesn't mean losing support — you transition into our alumni network with access to recovery events, peer connections, and the knowledge that you can return to outpatient care anytime if you need a tune-up. Trailhead remains in your corner.

Verify Your CoverageOur outpatient program provides continued care for a full range of substance use disorders including alcohol, opioids, heroin, fentanyl, cocaine, methamphetamine, benzodiazepines, marijuana, kratom, and prescription drug abuse. We also support clients recovering from less common dependencies including synthetic drugs, hallucinogens, inhalants, stimulants, barbiturates, and MDMA. Whatever the substance, our clinical framework adapts to your specific needs.
Many clients in outpatient care continue managing co-occurring anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, OCD, panic disorders, trauma, and self-harm behaviors. Our dual-diagnosis approach ensures both conditions are addressed simultaneously — because treating one without the other rarely leads to lasting recovery.
