Expedition Log

Log Entry 01 — Weekly Schedule

Your Weekly Rhythm

Outpatient sessions meet once per week — a focused touchpoint that keeps your recovery on track while you live independently. Each session is designed to reinforce the skills you built in earlier levels of care and address challenges as they arise in real time.

Sessions are scheduled flexibly around your work and personal commitments. Morning, afternoon, or evening options ensure treatment fits your life — not the other way around.

Log Entry 02 — Therapy & Groups

Individual & Group Sessions

Each week includes individual therapy with a licensed clinician — continuing the CBT, DBT, and relapse prevention work that started in higher levels of care. Your therapist helps you navigate real-world triggers, relationships, and personal growth with evidence-based strategies.

Weekly group therapy connects you with peers at a similar stage of recovery. Sharing experiences, processing challenges, and building accountability within a supportive community strengthens your foundation for long-term sobriety.

Navigating Life

Your case manager continues to support the practical side of recovery — employment assistance, housing coordination, court paperwork, and connecting you with community resources. These aren't extras; they're the building blocks of a stable, substance-free life.

Referrals to external providers, support groups, and community organizations ensure you have a network that extends well beyond your weekly sessions at Trailhead.

Ongoing Medical Support

If you're on medication-assisted treatment (MAT), your outpatient program includes continued medication management. Our clinical team coordinates with your prescribing provider to ensure seamless continuity of care as you step down from more intensive levels.

Family therapy remains available through individual sessions and monthly Zoom support groups — keeping your support system engaged and informed as you navigate increasing independence.

The program is ongoing and individualized. Duration depends on your progress and clinical recommendation. Some clients attend for a few months; others maintain weekly sessions for longer-term support. Your treatment team adjusts the plan to your needs.

IOP involves 3-4 sessions per week for several hours each. OP is a step-down from IOP — once-a-week sessions that maintain therapeutic support while giving you more independence. Both include individual therapy, group work, and case management.

Absolutely. The outpatient program is specifically designed for people who are working, studying, or managing family responsibilities. With just one session per week, you can maintain your full schedule while staying connected to clinical support.
