Our Outpatient Treatment Program provides specialized, wholly personalized treatment plans, structured to provide a seamless transition back into your daily life, whether it’s from our residential program, from another program, or as a standalone, first-time program at Newport Institute.
We meet you at the level of care that is right for you.
Outpatient treatment programs can provide step-down options after residential treatment. Or they can serve as the next level of care for a young adult who needs to go a step above what they’re receiving from an individual therapist or a local resource.
Newport Institute has several young adult outpatient locations nationwide, with additional programs planned. We also offer virtual outpatient programming in some regions. Contact us to find out more.
Our dedicated staff is available 24/7 to confidentially answer your questions and explain the difference between residential treatment, a Partial Hospitalization Program, and and Intensive Outpatient Program. We’ll help you decide on the best approach.
What is an outpatient treatment program?
The main difference between outpatient and inpatient treatment is that clients live at home and attend treatment during the day, vs. living at a residential or inpatient facility. Newport’s outpatient treatment for young adults supports clients to seamlessly transition to life outside treatment, ensuring that the patient’s next steps in their education or career are aligned with their personalized relapse-prevention plan.
Benefits of Outpatient Treatment at Newport Institute
- Young adults can continue to work and/or go to school
- Outpatient programming provides a supportive and caring community of peers and mentors
- Support groups are available for family members
- Medical care and substance abuse relapse prevention are part of the integrated treatment approach
- Flexibility in structure and intensity of care according to the client’s needs
Questions?
All calls are always confidential.
What is the Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)?
Our Partial Hospitalization Program offers Monday–Friday, on-location treatment, with a minimum of four to five hours of clinical therapy sessions per day. Unlike our residential programs, you live at home and visit one of our outpatient facilities throughout treatment journey. Generally, our PHP program is for those who have completed a residential program.
What is the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)?
The Intensive Outpatient Program is designed for young adults who are beginning to meet vocational and educational goals and do not require all-day care as they continue their recovery. The IOP treatment program is a minimum of three hours per day, Monday–Friday, with flexibility to move to fewer days, if appropriate.
