Start Your Recovery NowAscent offers an effective outpatient program grounded in the evidence-based research and practices recommended by SAMHSA (the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration), a U.S. government agency that sets national standards for behavioral health treatment.
A Comprehensive Outpatient Program is best suited for individuals with a safe home environment. For those living with others who use drugs or alcohol, residential treatment is generally recommended to reduce exposure to relapse triggers. While less intensive than inpatient care, outpatient programs are designed to build strong support networks, teach relapse management strategies, and provide practical coping skills.
Groups are conveniently offered during both day and evening hours to fit different schedules. Participants typically attend three two-hour group sessions per week, one two-hour vocational skills training session per week, and monthly individual counseling sessions. Most patients who complete the program and maintain sobriety complete this program in about six weeks and then transition to Supportive Outpatient Programming. Program length may vary depending on individual needs.
Supportive Outpatient Programming (SOP) is designed for individuals who have completed the Comprehensive Outpatient Program. This flexible program allows participants to focus on their recovery while continuing to work and develop a structured discharge plan with their clinician.
SOP helps patients maintain sobriety, improve overall health, strengthen community connections, and support career development. The program typically lasts 13 weeks, though the duration can be adjusted based on individual needs:
Phase II: Two-hour sessions twice per week, plus monthly individual sessions (approximately 8 weeks)
Phase III: Two-hour sessions once per week, plus monthly individual sessions (approximately 5 weeks)
