Overview of Outpatient Programs

What is Outpatient Treatment?

An Outpatient Program (OP) is a form of rehabilitation that allows individuals to live at home and continue with their daily routines while receiving structured care and support for addiction and mental health issues. Unlike inpatient programs, which require individuals to stay at a treatment facility full-time, outpatient treatment involves scheduled therapy sessions and activities that fit into the participant’s regular life. This type of program offers various therapeutic modalities, including individual therapy, group therapy, and holistic practices, all aimed at addressing the root causes of addiction and promoting long-term recovery.

Why Choose Outpatient Treatment?

Choosing outpatient treatment provides the flexibility to maintain daily responsibilities, such as work, school, and family commitments, while still receiving comprehensive care. This approach is particularly beneficial for those who have a supportive home environment and are motivated to achieve recovery within their community setting. Outpatient programs are designed to accommodate busy schedules, allowing individuals to attend therapy sessions and participate in recovery activities without the need for residential stays. This flexibility makes it easier to integrate the principles of recovery into everyday life, helping to build a sustainable and balanced approach to long-term sobriety and mental wellness.

OP for Mental Health

Outpatient Program (OP) for mental health provides individuals with the necessary support and therapy to address their mental health concerns while allowing them to maintain their daily routines and responsibilities. This flexible treatment option includes regular therapy sessions, both individual and group, designed to address issues such as anxiety, depression, and stress management. Through personalized care plans, evidence-based therapies, and holistic practices, outpatient treatment helps individuals develop effective coping strategies and improve their overall well-being. By participating in OP for mental health, individuals can receive the comprehensive care they need without the need for residential treatment, making it an ideal choice for those seeking to balance their recovery with everyday life.

OP for Substance Use Disorder

Outpatient treatment (OP) for Substance Use Disorder (SUD) offers a flexible and effective approach for individuals seeking to overcome addiction while maintaining their daily responsibilities. This type of treatment includes scheduled therapy sessions, both individual and group, that focus on addressing the root causes of substance use and developing healthy coping mechanisms. Through personalized treatment plans, evidence-based therapies, and support from experienced professionals, outpatient programs provide the necessary tools and strategies for achieving and maintaining sobriety. Additionally, OP for SUD fosters a supportive community environment, allowing individuals to connect with peers who share similar experiences, further enhancing their recovery journey. This approach enables individuals to receive comprehensive care and support while continuing to live at home and engage in their regular activities.

Key Components of Our Supportive Outpatient Program

Individualized Therapy

At Anchored Tides Recovery, individualized therapy is a cornerstone of our outpatient program. We recognize that every woman’s journey to recovery is unique, which is why we offer personalized one-on-one therapy sessions structured to address individual’s needs and challenges. Our experienced therapists work closely with clients to develop customized treatment plans that focus on their personal goals, underlying issues, emotional stress, and progress. This personalized approach ensures that each woman receives the targeted support and guidance necessary to achieve lasting recovery.

Group Therapy and Peer Support

Group therapy is a vital component of our outpatient program, providing a safe platform for women to share their experiences, challenges, and successes in a supportive environment. These sessions foster a sense of community and connection, allowing participants to learn from each other and build strong, supportive relationships. Peer support plays a crucial role in recovery, offering emotional encouragement, accountability, and the opportunity to develop meaningful connections with others who understand the journey. Through group therapy, women gain the strength and confidence to continue their path to sobriety together.

Holistic Healing Practices

Our outpatient program at Anchored Tides Recovery incorporates holistic healing practices to promote overall well-being and support the recovery process. We offer a variety of therapies such as mindfulness, yoga, and art therapy, which help women manage stress, improve emotional regulation, and enhance physical health. These holistic approaches address the mind, body, and spirit, providing a comprehensive treatment experience that goes beyond traditional therapy. By integrating these practices into their recovery journey, women can achieve a more balanced and harmonious lifestyle.

Life Skills Training

Life skills training is an essential part of our outpatient program, equipping women with the tools they need to manage daily challenges and build a stable, independent life. Our workshops cover a range of practical skills, including effective communication, time management, financial planning, and stress management. By developing these essential skills, women are better prepared to handle the demands of everyday life and maintain their sobriety. Our life skills training empowers women to make positive, informed decisions and fosters a sense of confidence and self-sufficiency in their recovery journey.

Benefits of Outpatient Treatment for Women

Emotional and
Mental Health Support

Outpatient treatment for women at Anchored Tides Recovery provides comprehensive emotional and mental health support, addressing co-occurring disorders such as anxiety, depression, and trauma. Our program includes individualized therapy sessions with experienced clinicians who specialize in dual diagnosis treatment, ensuring that both substance use and mental health issues are treated simultaneously. This integrated approach helps women understand the root causes of their addiction and develop effective coping strategies to manage their emotional and psychological well-being, leading to more sustainable recovery outcomes.

Relapse Prevention and
Long-Term Sobriety

A key focus of our outpatient program is relapse prevention and promoting long-term sobriety. We provide extensive education on recognizing and managing triggers, developing healthy coping mechanisms, and building resilience against relapse. Our therapists work with each woman to create personalized relapse prevention plans that include practical strategies for maintaining sobriety in real-world situations. Additionally, ongoing support and regular check-ins help reinforce these strategies, empowering women to stay committed to their recovery goals and achieve lasting sobriety.

Building a Support Network

Building a strong support network is crucial for successful recovery, and our outpatient program emphasizes the importance of fostering these connections. Through group therapy sessions and peer support activities, women have the opportunity to connect with others who share similar experiences and challenges. These interactions create a sense of community and belonging, which can be incredibly empowering and motivating. By establishing a network of supportive peers, family, and friends, women can rely on this collective strength and encouragement to navigate their recovery journey and maintain their progress over time.

Relapse Prevention

Long-Term Relapse Prevention in Outpatient Care

Recovery doesn’t end after PHP or IOP—and neither does relapse prevention. Our Women’s Outpatient Program (OP) provides continued support to help you maintain structure, emotional balance, and connection as you transition back into everyday life.

OP focuses on strengthening the relapse prevention strategies learned in higher levels of care while helping women build confidence and independence in recovery.

Outpatient Relapse Prevention Includes:

Weekly therapy and recovery coaching
Accountability check-ins
Strengthening coping and grounding skills
Managing stress & environmental triggers
Community support to reduce isolation
Navigating relationships, work, and life transitions

Outpatient care is ideal for women who feel stable but want consistent support to protect their recovery long-term.

Need Support After a Relapse? You’re Not Alone.

Most women who relapse aren’t “starting over”—they’re experiencing a natural part of the recovery cycle. What matters most is the support you get now.

At Anchored Tides Recovery, we offer three levels of outpatient care designed specifically for women:

A FEW WORDS FROM OUR CLIENTS

STORIES OF RECOVERY

I would highly recommend anchored tides! I was a client at anchored tides for almost a year and it was such an amazing place to be and played a major part in my recovery. First the owners Becca and Amy are such amazing women who truly care about helping women and run an honest recovery center with great therapists, case managers & staff. This place helped me integrate back into life and always encouraged me throughout the time I was there. I now have almost 18 months sober and am truly blessed by the life I have today and a HUGE thank you goes out to achored tides and all that they did to help to get me where I am at today. I truly couldn’t not say enough good things about this place or the amount of love that I have for everyone here!

Caleigh P.

What an amazing place Anchored Tides is. As Amy explained when we first visited, girls and women are an afterthought in many treatment programs, which often are founded and structured for boys and men. Anchored Tides’ holistic approach to ALL of the co-existing issues that girls and women face is groundbreaking, and so appreciated. They are wonderful people who do inspiring work and make the world a better place every day. I highly recommend their sober living and IOP. The founders have crucial and relevant lived experiences and care deeply, and they are amazing role models for all the women help.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does outpatient treatment mean?

Outpatient treatment refers to a form of rehabilitation where individuals receive care and support for addiction or mental health issues while living at home and maintaining their daily responsibilities. This program involves scheduled therapy sessions and activities designed to promote recovery without the need for full-time residence at a treatment facility.

What are the different levels of care for outpatient treatment?

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), Sober Living programs

What Is Outpatient Alcohol Treatment?

Outpatient alcohol treatment is a type of rehabilitation program that allows individuals to receive therapy, counseling, and support for alcohol addiction while living at home, maintaining their daily responsibilities, and attending scheduled treatment sessions. This flexible approach typically includes individual and group therapy, educational sessions, and relapse prevention strategies.

How Do Residential And Outpatient Rehab Programs Compare?

Residential rehab programs provide 24/7 care and a structured environment for individuals to focus solely on recovery, while outpatient rehab programs allow individuals to live at home and maintain their daily responsibilities while attending scheduled treatment sessions. The choice between the two depends on the severity of the addiction and the individual’s personal and professional commitments.

How long does one stay in sober living?

The length of stay in sober living varies depending on individual needs and progress, typically ranging from a few months to a year or more, with the goal of providing a supportive environment as individuals transition to independent living.

Signs of Copendency

Signs of codependency in addiction include an excessive reliance on approval from others, difficulty setting boundaries, and prioritizing the needs of the addicted person over one’s own well-being.

Do I need treatment after a relapse?

A relapse is often a sign that more support or structure is needed. Many women benefit from stepping into PHP or IOP where they can address triggers, rebuild coping skills, and stabilize safely.

How does PHP help prevent relapse?

PHP provides daily therapy, trauma-informed support, and relapse prevention planning—ideal for women experiencing cravings, emotional instability, or repeating relapse cycles.

Is IOP enough support if I recently relapsed?

IOP is a strong option for women who need structured therapy and accountability but do not require full-day PHP care. It’s designed to help women rebuild stability after relapse.

What’s the best outpatient option for preventing relapse?

Outpatient (OP) care is ideal for women who have completed PHP or IOP and want to maintain long-term stability through ongoing therapy, accountability, and relapse prevention skills.

Can trauma or mental health issues cause relapse?

Yes. Trauma, anxiety, depression, and PTSD can increase relapse risk if untreated. Dual diagnosis treatment addresses both the emotional and addiction-related triggers that lead to relapse.
