As one of few treatment centers in Alaska, Banyan Treatment Centers is dedicated to helping the Wasilla community recover from drug and alcohol abuse. As a leader in residential and outpatient addiction treatment with multiple facilities nationwide, we’re experienced in creating comprehensive and effective treatment plans for patients, no matter their substance use disorder. Below is more on the various outpatient treatment programs offered at our Alaska rehab and how we can help you or a loved one achieve long-term sobriety.

What Is Outpatient Addiction Treatment?

Outpatient drug and alcohol treatment is a continuum level of care in which patients undergo therapy sessions during the day while continuing to live at home with their loved ones. Outpatient treatment is most appropriate for individuals who are medically stable, do not require 24-hour care or supervision, or who are transitioning out of a more intensive level of addiction treatment.

Substance use disorders are chronic, relapsing diseases that can be managed and treated with the right care and support. During outpatient treatment, patients at our Alaska rehab will undergo group and individual therapy sessions to address behaviors and emotions that have contributed to their drug or alcohol use disorders.

While some groups may focus on learning more about negative behaviors and emotions, others may be focused on certain skills training, such as learning how to set boundaries to sustain sobriety outside of rehab. Clients may also participate in classes designed to educate participants about the disease of addiction and the long-term impact of drugs and alcohol.

Our Wasilla Outpatient Treatment

Our Alaska drug treatment is offered on an outpatient level of care designed to help patients develop a sober lifestyle outside of a facility. While inpatient addiction rehab requires patients to live at the facility 24/7, our outpatient rehab does not require patients to live at our facility.

Our services involve fewer hours of treatment and are less intensive overall than inpatient care, which is why it’s usually used as a step down from residential programs or for individuals who don’t require round-the-clock support or supervision.

Our outpatient Alaska substance abuse treatment is a good option for individuals seeking treatment who have responsibilities at home that prevent them from participating in an inpatient program. Because patients live at home while attending treatment during the day at our facility, it’s important that they have a strong support system at home, a stable living environment, and reliable transportation. During a clinical assessment, the clinical staff at Banyan Alaska can help each patient determine the best treatment plan for them, which includes deciding whether outpatient care is the best option.
