Life and Recovery Balance
When you’re in recovery, part of what you learn is how to balance your life to minimize stress with sober living skills. But sometimes, balancing your commitments, like at work or school, with substance use treatment sessions poses a roadblock when you are new to the process.
A major advantage to outpatient clinics like this one is that they don’t require as much time as higher intensity programs. Sessions here are one and a half hours, so they’re easier to fit into a busy schedule.
Recover in a Community
This program may mix individual and group therapy in your treatment plan. The time you spend in group therapy can be valuable, as it connects you to others navigating addiction recovery and their successes. You can learn a lot from what’s shared in sessions and who knows? What you share could help someone else.

Levels of Care
Outpatient rehabs encompass multiple levels of care to facilitate clients' progress through their recovery journey. Clients who are stepping down from inpatient treatment may require intensive outpatient (IOP) treatment, which involves more frequent and substantive therapeutic interventions than does standard outpatient care. Outpatient centers typically provide extensive addiction counseling, including individual, group, and family therapy. Medication assisted treatment programs (MAT) and recovery-focused life skills training are also common in outpatient care.
Treatments
In Florida, substance abuse treatment focuses on treating mental health and substance use disorders concurrently to improve recovery outcomes and overall health. Levels of care include medical detox, outpatient, residential treatment, and intensive outpatient programs. Clinicians utilize evidence-based therapies such as dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) or medication-assisted treatment, group therapy, and skills training activities. This comprehensive approach to treatment helps to ensure sustained recovery.
Clinical Services
