Our Outpatient Program offers the lightest clinical level of care — once-a-week sessions designed for ongoing maintenance, helping you sustain the progress you've made and continue writing your recovery story with confidence.
"Outpatient at Trailhead gave me the weekly touchpoint I needed to stay on track. Knowing I had that session each week kept me accountable and grounded."
"Stepping down from IOP to outpatient felt like the right move. I could work full-time, be present for my family, and still have professional support every week."
"The outpatient program helped my daughter maintain everything she gained in IOP. The weekly check-ins and group sessions made the transition back to normal life feel safe."
Our Outpatient Program is built around a once-a-week schedule with your clinician — the lightest level of structured care, designed for ongoing maintenance and sustained independence.
Once a week, you meet one-on-one with your therapist to check in on your progress, address emerging challenges, and refine the coping strategies you built during PHP or IOP. These sessions use evidence-based approaches — CBT, DBT, and motivational interviewing — tailored to wherever you are in your recovery journey.
Individual therapy at the outpatient level is focused and forward-looking. Your clinician helps you identify early warning signs, process real-world stressors, and strengthen the skills that keep you grounded. Medication management continues through coordination with your prescriber, ensuring continuity of care without disruption.
Group therapy remains a cornerstone even at the outpatient level. Once a week, you join a small group of peers for a structured session focused on relapse prevention, emotional regulation, and real-world application of recovery skills. The group provides accountability and community — two things that matter most in long-term sobriety.
Groups are facilitated by licensed clinicians and cover rotating topics including stress management, healthy relationships, grief and loss, and life transitions. The shared experience of recovery creates bonds that extend beyond the session room and into your daily life.
Between sessions, the real work of outpatient care happens in your daily life. You apply the skills you've developed — managing triggers at work, maintaining healthy boundaries in relationships, and building the routines that support long-term wellness. Case management support continues as needed for employment, housing, and community resource referrals.
Your clinical team remains accessible for external referrals — connecting you with psychiatrists, support groups, community organizations, and family therapy resources. Outpatient is not the end of the story; it's the chapter where you prove to yourself that the foundation you've built is strong enough to carry you forward independently.
These aren't just statistics — they're commitments to the people who continue their recovery with us.
as you step down from IOP, your clinical team creates a tailored outpatient plan. We review your progress, identify ongoing goals, and establish the weekly rhythm that will carry you forward. Your therapist and case manager coordinate with any external providers so nothing falls through the cracks during this important transition.
each week, you meet with your therapist one-on-one and attend a peer group session. These touchpoints keep you accountable while giving you the space to practice independence. You'll process real-world challenges, refine your coping strategies, and build confidence in your ability to navigate daily life on your own terms.
outpatient isn't just about maintaining — it's about growing. Your case manager helps connect you with community resources, employment support, and external recovery groups. Family therapy sessions and monthly Zoom support groups keep your loved ones engaged. This is where recovery becomes part of your whole life, not a separate chapter.
when you and your clinical team agree you're ready, you graduate into our alumni program — a lifelong community of people who understand what you've been through. You'll have access to alumni events, ongoing support, and the knowledge that Trailhead is always just a phone call away. Your story continues, and we'll always be proud to be part of it.
