Level 1 Outpatient (OP)

Flexible support built around your life.

Level 1 Outpatient is our least intensive level of care — fewer than 9 hours of treatment per week — designed for people with stable environments who need structured, ongoing support.

What is Level 1 Outpatient?

Level 1 Outpatient (OP) provides structured counseling and support while allowing you to continue your daily life — your job, your family, your routines.

Sessions typically meet 1–3 times per week and include a combination of individual counseling and group therapy. The focus is on building coping skills, identifying triggers, creating relapse prevention plans, and building a foundation for lasting recovery.

Outpatient is often the right fit for people who have completed a higher level of care (like IOP or PHP) and are stepping down, as well as people beginning their recovery journey with a stable home environment and strong support system.
