Mission Statement
We are committed to helping you find the underlying issues that fuel your addiction and providing professional support to treat each affliction. Our customized treatment program offers one-on-one therapy sessions with knowledgeable, compassionate, and experienced counselors who will guide you step-by-step and uncover unresolved issues that may be fueling the addiction to continue. By identifying the root cause of addiction, you can begin your journey to self-healing and finding peace and balance in life.
What is an Outpatient Program (OP)?
An outpatient program offers structured treatment for substance use disorders and mental health conditions without requiring residential stay. Unlike inpatient care, outpatient treatment allows you to receive therapy, counseling, and support while continuing to sleep at home each night. This flexibility makes outpatient programs ideal for those who cannot commit to full-time residential treatment due to work, family, or educational commitments.
Silver Lining Recovery’s outpatient program provides the same clinical rigor as residential treatment but with scheduling flexibility. You attend therapy sessions during designated times—typically a few hours per week—then return home to apply recovery skills in real-world settings. This approach helps you integrate treatment insights directly into daily life while maintaining personal and professional responsibilities.
Levels of Outpatient Care at Silver Lining Recovery
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
Our Partial Hospitalization Program delivers the most intensive outpatient care available, typically requiring 5-6 hours of treatment per day, 5-7 days per week. PHP is often recommended immediately following detoxification or as a step-down from residential treatment. This program includes comprehensive medical monitoring, individual therapy, group counseling, psychiatric services, and medication management when needed.
PHP provides structured support without 24-hour supervision, making it suitable for individuals who require intensive treatment but have a stable living environment. At Silver Lining Recovery, our PHP incorporates trauma-informed therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to address both addiction and underlying mental health concerns.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Intensive Outpatient Programs offer structured treatment typically requiring 9-12 hours per week across 3-4 days. IOP is ideal for individuals stepping down from PHP or those who need more support than standard outpatient care but can maintain work or school commitments. Sessions focus on relapse prevention, coping strategies, and addressing co-occurring mental health disorders.
Silver Lining Recovery offers both day and evening IOP sessions, accommodating working professionals and those with family obligations. Our IOP includes group therapy, individual counseling, family therapy, and educational sessions on addiction recovery. This level of care bridges the gap between intensive treatment and independent recovery maintenance.
Standard Outpatient Program (OP)
Standard outpatient treatment is the least intensive level, typically requiring 1-2 therapy sessions per week for 1-2 hours each. This level suits individuals with mild to moderate substance use concerns or those maintaining recovery after completing more intensive treatment. OP provides ongoing support, relapse prevention strategies, and accountability while allowing maximum flexibility for daily life.
Our outpatient services include individual therapy, periodic group sessions, medication management when appropriate, and regular progress monitoring. Standard OP helps you maintain sobriety gains while gradually reducing treatment frequency as you build confidence in independent recovery skills.
Virtual Intensive Outpatient Program
Our Virtual IOP provides the same clinical structure as in-person IOP through secure telehealth platforms. This option eliminates travel barriers and offers increased privacy for those who prefer receiving treatment from home. Virtual IOP includes live video therapy sessions, online group support, and digital resources for recovery planning.
Telehealth outpatient treatment maintains clinical effectiveness while providing convenience for those with transportation challenges, mobility limitations, or scheduling conflicts that make in-person attendance difficult.

Conditions Treated in Outpatient Programs
Substance Use Disorders
Silver Lining Recovery’s outpatient substance abuse treatment addresses addiction to alcohol, opioids, stimulants, benzodiazepines, marijuana, and other substances. Treatment combines individual counseling, group therapy, relapse prevention education, and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) when clinically appropriate. Our evidence-based approach helps you understand addiction’s underlying causes while developing healthier coping mechanisms.
For individuals recovering from multiple substance dependencies, our integrated treatment model addresses all substances simultaneously rather than treating each addiction separately. This comprehensive approach recognizes the interconnected nature of polysubstance use and treats the whole person rather than isolated symptoms.
Mental Health Conditions
Our mental health services treat anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other behavioral health concerns. Many individuals experience co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders, requiring simultaneous treatment for both conditions—an approach known as dual diagnosis treatment.
Outpatient mental health care includes specialized therapies such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma processing, meditation therapy for stress management, and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) for treatment-resistant depression. These evidence-based modalities complement traditional talk therapy to address complex mental health needs.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Many individuals seeking addiction treatment also experience co-occurring mental health disorders. Our dual diagnosis approach treats both conditions simultaneously within the same program, ensuring comprehensive care that addresses the full scope of your health needs. This integrated treatment model prevents the common pitfall of treating addiction while leaving underlying mental health issues unaddressed—a pattern that frequently leads to relapse.
What Outpatient Programs Can Treat
Outpatient Drug and Alcohol Treatment
Our outpatient drug and alcohol rehab program at Silver Lining Recovery is designed to help professionals overcome the damaging effects of substance abuse, offering flexible day and evening sessions that fit seamlessly into your busy schedule. Substance abuse can deeply impact your health, relationships, and career, but through individual counseling, group therapy, and educational sessions, we help you understand the underlying causes and develop healthier coping strategies. For those dealing with both drug and alcohol addiction, our integrated approach tackles both issues simultaneously, creating personalized substance abuse treatment plans that include evidence-based therapies, peer support groups, and family counseling. This program is ideal for those motivated to reclaim their lives from the grip of substance abuse, providing the support and flexibility needed to achieve lasting recovery and restore balance to your personal and professional life.
Mental and Behavioral Health Outpatient Services
At Silver Lining Recovery, we recognize that mental and behavioral health challenges, such as anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder, profoundly affect daily life and require ongoing care for lasting recovery. Our outpatient services are designed to provide comprehensive treatment while allowing clients to maintain their routines and responsibilities. We offer a flexible and supportive environment where individuals can receive therapy, counseling, and other essential services tailored to their unique needs. By focusing on managing symptoms, developing coping strategies, and building resilience, our program empowers clients to apply the skills they learn in therapy to their everyday lives, reinforcing positive changes and maintaining stability. Choosing Silver Lining Recovery means investing in a treatment plan that prioritizes your well-being with the flexibility to live your life, supported by a compassionate team dedicated to guiding you every step of the way.
Specialized Outpatient Programs
Addiction Treatment for Veterans and Active Military
Our veterans and active military program provides specialized care addressing combat-related trauma, military sexual trauma, PTSD, and substance use disorders common among service members. We understand the unique challenges veterans face during recovery and create treatment plans honoring your military service while addressing civilian reintegration concerns.
Silver Lining Recovery accepts TRICARE and works directly with veterans to verify insurance coverage. Our clinical team includes providers trained in military-specific trauma and substance abuse patterns, ensuring culturally competent care for those who served.
Treatment for Working Professionals
Many professionals delay seeking addiction treatment due to career concerns. Our flexible scheduling, including evening IOP sessions, allows you to maintain employment while receiving comprehensive care. We offer discrete treatment options and understand the importance of protecting your professional reputation while addressing substance use or mental health concerns.
Treatment for working professionals incorporates workplace stress management, career-related triggers, and strategies for maintaining sobriety in high-pressure environments. We also provide education on employment protections like ADA and FMLA rights during recovery.
Ambulatory Care at an Addiction Treatment Center
At Silver Lining Recovery, our ambulatory care services provide a comprehensive medical approach within our outpatient programs, offering the flexibility to receive top-quality care without an overnight stay or 24/7 care of medical professionals. Ambulatory care is a combination of medical treatments and therapeutic services delivered on an outpatient basis, allowing clients to visit our facility for routine check-ups, diagnostic tests, medication-assisted treatment, therapy sessions, and minor procedures before returning home the same day. This approach is ideal for those needing regular medical attention or therapy without the intensity of inpatient care. Our ambulatory care center is dedicated to supporting individuals with mental health and substance use disorders, ensuring they receive consistent, high-level care while maintaining their daily routines. This continuity of care is essential for managing chronic conditions and promoting long-term recovery. By choosing our ambulatory care program, clients access the same expertise and support found in residential treatment, but with the convenience and cost-effectiveness that outpatient care provides. At Silver Lining Recovery, we’re committed to helping you achieve your recovery goals while preserving your independence.
Evidence-Based Therapies in Outpatient Treatment
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps you identify negative thought patterns contributing to substance use and mental health symptoms. Through CBT, you learn to recognize triggers, challenge distorted thinking, and develop healthier responses to stress and cravings. This structured, goal-oriented approach provides practical tools for managing addiction and co-occurring disorders.
CBT is one of the most extensively researched psychotherapies for addiction treatment, with strong evidence supporting its effectiveness for substance use disorders, anxiety, depression, and other conditions commonly treated in outpatient settings.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches emotional regulation skills particularly valuable for individuals with intense emotional reactions, self-destructive behaviors, or difficulty managing interpersonal relationships. DBT combines individual therapy with skills training groups, teaching mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
Originally developed for borderline personality disorder, DBT has proven highly effective for substance use disorders, especially when emotional dysregulation contributes to addiction patterns.
Trauma-Informed Therapy
Trauma-informed care recognizes the widespread impact of trauma and creates a safe therapeutic environment for processing difficult experiences. Many individuals with substance use disorders have trauma histories that contribute to addiction. Our trauma-informed approach prioritizes safety, trustworthiness, peer support, collaboration, and empowerment throughout treatment.
Trauma-specific interventions like EMDR help process traumatic memories without requiring extensive verbal recounting of traumatic events, making it particularly effective for those who struggle with traditional talk therapy approaches to trauma.
Group Therapy and Peer Support
Group therapy provides opportunities to connect with others facing similar challenges, reducing isolation and shame often associated with addiction. Group sessions offer peer accountability, diverse perspectives on recovery challenges, and practice implementing new coping skills in a supportive environment. Many clients find that hearing others’ recovery stories provides hope and practical strategies they can apply to their own journey.
Our groups are facilitated by licensed clinicians who guide discussions, teach recovery skills, and ensure a safe environment for sharing. Group topics include relapse prevention, communication skills, stress management, and maintaining relationships in recovery.
Individual Counseling
Individual therapy allows you to work one-on-one with a licensed therapist to address personal concerns, trauma history, family issues, and other topics you may not feel comfortable discussing in group settings. Individual sessions provide personalized attention and treatment plan adjustments based on your unique progress and needs.
Your individual therapist coordinates with other treatment team members to ensure continuity of care across all services you receive at Silver Lining Recovery.
Benefits of Outpatient Treatment
Maintain Daily Responsibilities
Outpatient treatment allows you to continue working, attending school, and caring for family while receiving professional addiction care. This continuity prevents the disruption of leaving home for residential treatment while still providing structured support and clinical expertise necessary for recovery.
Lower Cost Than Residential Treatment
Because you continue living at home, outpatient programs eliminate room and board costs associated with residential treatment. Most insurance plans cover outpatient treatment, often with lower co-pays than inpatient services. This affordability makes quality addiction treatment accessible to more individuals and families.
Real-World Skills Application
Living at home during treatment allows you to immediately apply coping strategies and recovery skills to your daily environment. You encounter real-world triggers, stressors, and situations while still having regular therapeutic support to process these experiences and refine your approach. This practical application strengthens recovery skills more effectively than practicing them in a removed residential setting.
Family Involvement and Support
Outpatient treatment facilitates easier family participation in your recovery process. Family members can attend therapy sessions, learn about addiction, and develop healthy communication patterns that support your sobriety. Having family involved from the beginning strengthens your home support system.
Gradual Step-Down Approach
Outpatient programs provide a natural continuum of care, allowing you to step down from more intensive treatment levels as you progress. Starting with PHP, transitioning to IOP, then moving to standard OP creates a gradual reduction in treatment intensity while maintaining continuity of care and therapeutic relationships.
Outpatient vs. Inpatient Treatment: Which is Right for You?
When Outpatient Treatment is Appropriate
Outpatient treatment works well for individuals with:
- Mild to moderate substance use disorders
- Strong motivation for recovery
- Stable, supportive home environment
- No severe co-occurring mental health crisis
- Ability to maintain abstinence between sessions
- Work, school, or family obligations preventing residential care
- Completion of higher level of care and need for ongoing support
When Inpatient Treatment May Be Needed
Residential or inpatient treatment may be more appropriate for:
- Severe addiction with high relapse risk
- Medically complex withdrawal requiring 24-hour monitoring
- Co-occurring mental health crisis requiring intensive psychiatric care
- Unstable or triggering home environment
- Recent failed attempts at outpatient treatment
- Need for physical separation from substance use environment
At Silver Lining Recovery, we conduct comprehensive assessments to determine the most appropriate level of care for your specific situation. If we determine you need residential treatment, we can provide referrals to appropriate facilities and welcome you back to our outpatient programs when you’re ready to step down.
Insurance Coverage and Verification
Silver Lining Recovery accepts most major insurance plans, including Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, Cigna, Health Net, and TRICARE for veterans and active military. We provide free, confidential insurance verification to help you understand your coverage and out-of-pocket costs before beginning treatment.
Verify your insurance benefits by contacting our admissions team at 866-681-0927. Our staff will contact your insurance provider, explain your benefits, and help you navigate payment options if additional assistance is needed.
Most insurance plans cover outpatient addiction treatment as an essential health benefit under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act. This federal law requires insurers to cover substance use disorder treatment at the same level as other medical conditions.
What to Expect in Outpatient Treatment
Initial Assessment and Treatment Planning
Treatment begins with a comprehensive assessment evaluating your substance use history, mental health symptoms, medical conditions, family dynamics, and recovery goals. This assessment helps our clinical team create a personalized treatment plan addressing your specific needs.
Your treatment plan outlines therapy frequency, modalities to be used, goals for recovery, and measurable outcomes. We regularly review and adjust your plan based on progress and changing needs throughout treatment.
Typical Weekly Schedule
Your weekly schedule depends on your level of care:
PHP Schedule (Typical):
- Monday-Friday: 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM
- Includes individual therapy, group therapy, psychiatric services, case management, and medication management
- May include weekends depending on clinical needs
IOP Schedule (Typical):
- Day IOP: Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM
- Evening IOP: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM
- Includes group therapy, individual sessions, and educational programming
Standard OP Schedule (Typical):
- One to two therapy sessions per week
- Flexible scheduling based on your availability
- May include periodic group sessions or family therapy
Transition and Discharge Planning
As you progress in treatment and meet recovery milestones, we plan your transition to less intensive care or discharge from formal treatment. Discharge planning includes relapse prevention strategies, local support group referrals, ongoing therapy recommendations, and crisis resources.
We provide aftercare planning to support long-term recovery maintenance after completing our program. Many clients continue with individual therapy, participate in 12-step programs, or join community support groups to maintain recovery gains.
Family Support and Involvement
Addiction affects the entire family system, not just the individual with substance use disorder. Silver Lining Recovery encourages family participation in the treatment process through family therapy sessions, educational programs, and family support groups. These services help family members understand addiction, improve communication, set healthy boundaries, and heal relationship damage caused by substance use.
We recognize that family dynamics can either support or undermine recovery efforts. By involving loved ones in treatment, we strengthen your support system and create a home environment conducive to maintaining sobriety.
