How do I access outpatient care?
Many patients are referred directly to intensive outpatient programs by their therapists or psychiatrists. You can also seek treatment for yourself or a loved one by calling our Outpatient Admissions team at 1.888.437.1610.
What staff is involved in care?
As part of the admission process to the program, all patients meet with a board certified psychiatrist for an assessment of symptoms, strengths, and needs. You will meet at regular intervals with this psychiatrist throughout your treatment. Our outpatient program is made up of a multidisciplinary treatment team made up of Licensed Social Workers, Licensed Professional and Associate Counselors, Licensed Clinical Drug and Alcohol Counselors, and Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselors.
How often do patients receive treatment, and for how long?
There is no average length of treatment as all treatment is individually tailored to the person but as a reference point our IOP curriculum is 16 weeks and the OP is also 16 weeks.
What is a typical day like in Intensive Outpatient Program?

What is evidence-based treatment?
Treatments across our programs are evidence based. This means that findings from the latest research at major academic medical centers and government agencies are regularly reviewed and incorporated into treatment modalities. The outcomes are closely examined to understand what therapies work best for each individual patient, how to reduce symptoms, and how to bring about lasting recovery. Evidence-based programs have been shown to increase engagement and success.
How many patients are in group therapy?
In group therapy, group size is kept to 12 patients or less.
Why is family therapy important?
A patient’s psychiatric illness or addiction can impact the entire family. When the family has an understanding of their loved one’s issues and conflicts, they have the power to play a major role in the recovery process. Solstice Counseling & Wellness Centers have long recognized the importance of the family in the healing process, and incorporate family therapy and education into the treatment routine. Our family education program empowers families with information and education, enabling them to better cope during a difficult time. We also refer families to resources available in the community.
