What outpatient covers

Long-term continuing care.

Outpatient treatment provides therapy and medication management on a flexible, low-intensity schedule. It is the lowest-intensity level of care in the ASAM continuum — typically used as long-term continuing care after higher levels, or as primary treatment for mild SUD.

Frequency: Lowest-intensity level — periodic sessions

Outpatient as MAT continuity

The long tail of recovery.

For most patients, outpatient is the long tail of the treatment continuum after residential, PHP, and IOP. Outpatient relationships often continue for months or years and are particularly important for patients on long-term MAT.
