What Is Outpatient Treatment?
Outpatient treatment is a flexible level of care for people who benefit from professional support but do not require around-the-clock supervision.

Outpatient care may be appropriate for adults who are:
Medically and emotionally stable
Able to maintain a safe living environment
Ready to participate consistently in treatment
