Frequently Asked Questions

• Do I have to stay at the center full-time to get help?

  Not necessarily. Some people choose residential treatment, where they stay at the facility full-time and receive round-the-clock support. Others may outpatient treatment which allow them to return home after sessions. The right option depends on how much structure and support you need at this stage of recovery.

• Can I still work or go to school while in treatment?

  Yes, especially with outpatient programs. Many people in IOP or standard outpatient continue to work, study, or take care of family responsibilities while attending therapy several times a week. Residential programs are more immersive, which means putting daily routines on hold for a period of time. Together we’ll talk through what balance makes sense for you.

• How long does treatment last?

  The length of treatment varies widely. Residential care might last a few weeks or months, while outpatient can continue for several months or longer depending on progress. The timeline is flexible and based on what will best support long-term recovery rather than a set number of days.

• What happens after I finish treatment?

  Completing a program is a big step, but it’s not the end of the recovery process. Before you leave, you’ll work with the team to put together an aftercare plan. This might include ongoing outpatient sessions, support groups, sober living options, or continued therapy. The goal is to make sure you don’t feel like you’re on your own once treatment ends, and that you have the right support in place for the transition back to everyday life.
