What it is

Outpatient treatment, explained plainly

Outpatient means you sleep at home and come in for scheduled clinical hours. At SISU that runs from intensive outpatient, nine hours a week, down to a weekly step-down group as you stabilize.

No overnight stay

You keep your bed, your job and your routine.

Two levels, one team

Start in IOP and step down without changing clinicians.

Getting started

What happens when you reach out

Your first call

You speak with our admissions team directly. The conversation is confidential and there is no obligation to enroll.

Clinical assessment

A licensed clinician reviews your history and current needs to determine whether this level of care is appropriate for you.

Insurance and scheduling

We verify your benefits, put any expected costs in writing, and place you in a group that fits your schedule.

Starting the program

You begin sessions and are assigned a primary clinician who stays with you for the length of your care.

Your care team

The people you’ll be working with

Every group and individual session is led by licensed clinicians. When you start, you are assigned a primary clinician who stays with you for the length of your care, so you are not repeating your history to someone new each week.

The space

Where you’ll actually be

Groups meet in real rooms with daylight and space to breathe, not a clinical basement. You are welcome to visit before you decide.

Insurance and cost

We work with most major insurance plans. Before you start, we verify your benefits and give you a written summary of what your plan covers and what, if anything, you would owe. If we cannot work with your plan, we will tell you directly and help you look at other options.

Plans we work with

Common questions

Questions people ask before starting

How is outpatient different from rehab?

Rehab usually means residential treatment with overnight care. Outpatient is scheduled clinical care while you live at home.

What does a week look like?

Most people start with three-hour groups three to five days a week, with individual sessions and medication support as needed.

Can I start while I am still drinking?

Yes. Call us before you stop; we assess whether outpatient is safe or whether you need medical detox first.
