Outpatient Treatment

Outpatient treatment offers scheduled therapy and treatment sessions without requiring patients to live on-site at a treatment facility. This approach enables recovering addicts and alcoholics to continue working, attending school, and fulfilling family obligations while receiving professional support for their recovery.

At Anchorage Recovery Center, our outpatient treatment programs include:

• Medical care
• Individual and group therapy
• Psychiatric services
• Medication-assisted treatment (MAT)

No matter the level of care, a successful treatment program relies on your commitment to sobriety. A healthier lifestyle is possible for anyone.

The time commitment for outpatient care varies based on individual needs and the severity of addiction. Some programs may require attendance once a week, while others may involve multiple sessions per week.

Anchorage Recovery Center offers different levels of outpatient treatment to accommodate varying recovery needs.

Intensive outpatient programs are ideal for those who need structured treatment. They work best for those who cannot fully step away from work or personal responsibilities.

• Therapy sessions 3-4 days per week
• Flexible scheduling options (daytime or evening sessions)
• Gradual reduction in session frequency as recovery progresses

As opposed to Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP), PHP is a more rigorous option that offers structured support. Patients may live at home or in a sober housing environment.

Day therapy programs require the most significant time commitment. Individuals typically attend sessions 5-7 days per week for several hours each day.

• Individual, group, and family therapy
• Medical care
• Support for co-occurring mental health conditions

Therapy types include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and more.

Continuing care is a less intensive form of outpatient treatment designed to provide long-term support. This includes:

• 12-step programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA)
• Ongoing counseling and peer support groups
• Relapse prevention strategies

Choosing the right treatment path is a crucial decision. Consider these questions:

• Are your withdrawal symptoms manageable without 24/7 medically managed supervision?
• Have you consulted with a professional about the severity of your addiction?
• Do you have a stable home environment and a reliable support system?
• Are you motivated to get sober and prevent relapse?
• Can you afford outpatient treatment through insurance or personal funds?
• Do you have other reasons you need to live at home with family members?

If you answered “yes” to these questions, outpatient treatment may be a good option for you.

Outpatient drug and alcohol addiction treatment programs offer several advantages, including:

• The ability to maintain work, school, and family commitments
• A supportive environment while continuing daily life
• Lower cost compared to inpatient treatment programs
• Flexible scheduling options
• Access to therapy and support groups to reinforce recovery

With the right support and a commitment, outpatient treatment can be highly effective. It can assist you in achieving long-term sobriety.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to addiction treatment. The best choice depends on individual needs and circumstances.

A professional assessment at Anchorage Recovery Center can help determine the most appropriate level of care.

During outpatient treatment, individuals can expect to:

• Attend regular therapy sessions
• Learn about addiction and coping strategies
• Develop communication and emotional regulation skills
• Engage with support groups and counselors
• Remain independent while working toward recovery

So you’ve tried treatment before and it didn’t work for you. Recovery is a lifelong journey. If previous attempts were unsuccessful, it doesn’t mean treatment won’t work.

Each experience provides valuable lessons, and finding the right program can make all the difference. Anchorage Recovery Center offers personalized treatment plans to meet unique needs.

If you or a loved one is looking for a flexible, supportive treatment option, an outpatient program may be the answer. Anchorage Recovery Center offers evidence-based treatment designed to help individuals achieve lasting sobriety.
