Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the difference between standard outpatient and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)?
Standard outpatient involves fewer weekly hours of therapy and is generally suitable for those with mild substance use disorder or those stepping down from a higher level of care. IOP requires a greater time commitment, often several hours per day multiple times per week, providing more structured support while still allowing the client to live at home.
Does the Venice office offer detox services?
No, as an outpatient facility, the Venice office focuses on therapeutic treatment programs. Individuals requiring medical stabilization or detoxification would typically be referred to a specialized inpatient or residential facility first.
How long does the average treatment program last?
The length of treatment varies significantly based on the individual’s progress, severity of addiction, and specific needs. Programs can range from a few weeks to several months, followed by ongoing aftercare and support.
