Determining whether outpatient or residential treatment is a decision made on an individual basis, because each person is unique and their recovery journey will look different. It is worth reflecting on whether you would benefit from stepping away from your everyday life to focus on treatment. If you’d like, we also offer a self-guided assessment to explore if you have a substance abuse concern. Part of our admissions process includes a formal assessment to determine if residential treatment is an appropriate step, so you can reach out to us at any time of day to start the conversation.
