The Out Patient Treatment program utilizes 12 step based solution focused group therapy methods developed by the staff at Solutions Over Substances to serve the needs of the special populations which we serve. Realistic goals, learning to fill the needs that alcohol, other drugs and associated addictive behaviors were supposed to have filled are emphasized throughout the program.
We believe that, given the short time frame that individuals are in the program, we are able to maximize the effectiveness of the client’s treatment experience utilizing these proven recovery techniques.
