Common Questions
Outpatient runs 1 to 3 hours a week, usually across 1 to 3 days. It includes individual therapy, group therapy, and relapse prevention. The exact schedule is set with you after your assessment.
Usually, yes. Outpatient asks for only 1 to 3 hours a week, which fits around work, school, or caregiving for most people. Ask admissions what your schedule options are.
IOP runs 9 to 12 hours a week and is more structured. OP runs 1 to 3 hours a week and is more flexible. OP often suits people who have finished IOP or need lighter ongoing support.
No. OP does not require sober living, and many people live at home with family or on their own. Your assessment looks at your living situation to decide whether outpatient care fits.
Your clinical team sets the length of care with you, based on your assessment and progress. Outpatient runs 1 to 3 hours a week, and many people add peer support meetings after their schedule ends.
It can, depending on your plan and medical necessity, and no one can promise it in advance. Admissions verifies your benefits for free, with no obligation, and sends a written breakdown for partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and outpatient care.
Many people add peer support meetings and community resources once their schedule ends. If your needs change, your plan can step back up to intensive outpatient or partial hospitalization.
Yes. Medication-assisted treatment can continue alongside outpatient therapy, and a prescriber decides whether and which medication fits. Tell admissions what you take now so your plan accounts for it.
Outpatient rehab means you live at home and attend treatment sessions instead of staying overnight. At Mountain View Health, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and outpatient are all outpatient care, and the Outpatient Program is the lightest at 1 to 3 hours a week.
Start at a higher level if cravings or use keep returning, or if you need daily structure. An assessment decides. Intensive outpatient runs 9 to 12 hours a week, and partial hospitalization runs 25 to 30.
No. Mountain View Health does not provide detox. If withdrawal needs medical supervision, that care comes first elsewhere, and you can start outpatient care once you are medically stable.
The American Society of Addiction Medicine criteria weigh severity, treatment history, withdrawal risk, and your living situation. Our assessment uses that kind of review to recommend a level, and it is never a promise of admission.
Cost depends on your level of care, how many weeks you need, and what your plan covers. Mountain View Health publishes no price list. Admissions verifies your insurance for free and sends a written breakdown.
