Addiction Recovery Treatment

Individualized outpatient recovery treatment addressing substance use, coping, family impact and long-term change.

By appointment

Addiction Recovery Treatment is an individualized outpatient pathway for patients whose assessment indicates that Therapy House's level of care is appropriate. Treatment may combine individual counseling or psychotherapy, group recovery work, family involvement, motivational and behavior-change interventions, relapse prevention, medical coordination and continuing care according to clinical need.

Outpatient addiction treatment is not appropriate for every patient. Acute overdose, severe withdrawal, seizure, delirium, serious medical instability or acute psychiatric danger requires appropriate emergency/higher-level care.

Relevant FAQ

Common questions

Where should a new patient start?

A new patient can begin with the relevant assessment or Central Intake. The goal is to identify the appropriate service rather than requiring the patient to diagnose the problem independently.

Does Therapy House provide emergency care?

No routine website or outpatient appointment should be presented as emergency hospital care. Acute medical or psychiatric emergencies require the appropriate emergency/hospital service.

Can I book if I am unsure which service I need?

Yes. The website should provide a 'Not sure which service I need' option that routes the visitor to Central Intake rather than forcing a clinical self-selection.

Not sure where to start?

Start with Therapy House Central Intake. We can help identify the appropriate starting point based on your concerns and service needs — you do not need to diagnose yourself.
