Ojai Recovery’s outpatient programs are designed to provide effective substance abuse services for people struggling with drug and alcohol problems while maintaining their daily lives. Evidence-based therapy, care coordination, and holistic recovery services are just a few things our facility offers. We include proven methods for treatment, such as:
Ojai Recovery offers outpatient alcohol treatment integrating trauma-informed therapy, relapse prevention, holistic modalities, and flexible scheduling to address addiction while you continue your daily responsibilities.
Ojai Recovery treats drug addiction (opioids, stimulants, prescription, polysubstance) through scheduled outpatient sessions addressing trauma, co-occurring conditions, coping skills, and relapse prevention with evidence-based therapies.
Ojai Recovery treats polysubstance addiction through personalized outpatient therapy to manage complex patterns of use and develop sustainable recovery strategies for multiple substance dependencies.

We provide comprehensive outpatient care for individuals struggling with alcohol, drugs, or polysubstance use. Our approach addresses both the physical and emotional aspects of addiction, helping clients build recovery while maintaining their daily lives.
Many people face substance use alongside depression, anxiety, PTSD, or trauma. Our integrated outpatient treatment supports both conditions simultaneously, promoting true healing and long-term stability.
Transitioning from intensive treatment requires ongoing support. Our outpatient programs provide structured care to help you maintain progress and prevent relapse as you reintegrate into daily life.
Addressing substance use concerns early can prevent escalation. Our outpatient services offer support before problems become severe, helping you make positive changes proactively.
Sustained recovery requires ongoing care. We help clients strengthen coping skills, manage triggers, and maintain the progress they've worked hard to achieve.

Choosing outpatient treatment is a practical, effective step toward recovery, and it comes with meaningful advantages:
Here are some questions people also ask about outpatient treatment programs, addiction treatment services, and mental health care.
Being treated as an outpatient means you receive scheduled therapy and treatment sessions while continuing to live at home and maintain your daily responsibilities. You attend regular appointments at a treatment facility—such as individual counseling sessions, group therapy, and psychiatric evaluations—without staying overnight. This approach allows you to apply recovery skills in your actual environment while balancing work, school, and family commitments.
The main difference is that outpatient treatment allows you to live at home between scheduled sessions, while inpatient care requires you to stay at a treatment facility 24/7. Outpatient programs offer flexibility to maintain daily responsibilities with several hours of treatment per week, whereas inpatient facilities provide intensive, round-the-clock medical supervision and structured programming. Inpatient care is typically recommended for more severe substance use disorders or when a stable home environment isn’t available.
Outpatient programs include individual therapy sessions, group counseling, medication-assisted treatment, and relapse prevention skills training. Most programs also offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, stress management techniques, family therapy, and psychoeducation about substance abuse treatment and mental health. Additional services may include psychiatric evaluation, crisis intervention, and community support services coordination.
The three main classifications are standard outpatient treatment (1-2 sessions per week), Intensive Outpatient Programs or IOPs (9+ hours per week), and Partial Hospitalization Programs or PHPs (20+ hours per week). Each level provides progressively more structured care within the continuum of care, allowing treatment intensity to match individual needs. These classifications help ensure appropriate support, whether someone needs minimal maintenance care or step-down support after inpatient facilities.
