Women’s Outpatient Treatment
Treatment That Fits Your Life
Outpatient treatment for substance use can be an ideal option if you have the motivation to get sober but can’t take leave from work, disrupt school attendance or step away from other responsibilities in order to stay at a residential treatment program.
We work with clients to develop a personalized plan that outlines treatment goals.
Different levels of outpatient services are available so that you can transition progressively from more frequent and intensive therapy to less intensive therapy as you show an ability to manage your own recovery with less clinical support.
For people who need substance use disorder treatment that fits into their life, we offer a licensed outpatient program with convenient morning and evening hours to fit a busy schedule
Telehealth Services throughout Minnesota
We offer treatment and support services via a secure virtual environment. Our telehealth counseling option allows clients to receive or continue group-based and individual treatment without the need for an in-person visit.
