Structured Support. Real Life Recovery

More than 48.5 million Americans—about one in six people aged 12 and older—met clinical criteria for a substance use disorder in 2023, yet only 4.5 percent received any form of treatment that year (SAMHSA, 2024). At the same time, drug‑related fatalities remained staggering, with 107,543 overdose deaths recorded in 2023 (CDC, 2024). These numbers underscore an urgent reality: starting recovery with a safe, evidence‑based medical detox is not a luxury but a public‑health necessity.

At our licensed detox facility, Legacy Healing Center provides round‑the‑clock medical monitoring, evidence‑based medications, and compassionate support. At other locations, we coordinate detox placement with trusted providers to ensure your safety and comfort. If you’re already experiencing withdrawal—or worried you might be—call 888‑534‑2295. The safest first step toward lifelong recovery begins with medically supervised detox.

What to Expect from Outpatient Care at Legacy

Outpatient care at Legacy Healing Center offers a structured, real-world path to recovery, designed to support healing within the settings where lasting change is meant to take root. For many, it’s the first time treatment feels both sustainable and seamlessly woven into daily life.

Clients typically attend one to five sessions per week, based on individual needs and clinical guidance. After each appointment, they return home or to a sober living environment, equipped to navigate real-world triggers and apply newly gained skills in the same environments where recovery will ultimately need to flourish.

This level of care encourages independence while maintaining a steady connection to professional support. It’s not a compromise—it’s an intentional choice, delivered with clinical excellence, genuine compassion, and deep respect for the unique rhythms of your life.

Clients Who May Benefit from Outpatient Care:

  • Individuals who have completed more intensive treatment and are ready for continued, lower-intensity support
  • Those with mild substance use issues who may not require structured daily care
  • Clients with strong support systems and stable living environments
  • Individuals seeking therapy and relapse prevention support while living independently
  • Those beginning their recovery journey who prefer to start with a flexible, part-time commitment

Outpatient care is particularly effective for individuals who are functioning well in their daily lives but want a steady connection to professional support to maintain momentum, address challenges, or prevent relapse.

Finding the Right Fit: Three Levels of Outpatient Care

Legacy Healing Center offers three distinct outpatient options, each carefully tailored to align with your specific needs, lifestyle, and stage of recovery.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Our partial hospitalization program (PHP) is the most structured outpatient option, offering full-day treatment without overnight stays. Clients attend 5–7 days per week and receive a comprehensive mix of therapies, psychiatric care, and wellness support.

  • This level of care is ideal for individuals at high risk of relapse or those needing intensive support following inpatient treatment.
Explore How PHP Supports Early Recovery

IOP offers a balanced level of care for clients who require structured therapy while maintaining greater independence. Treatment includes multiple sessions per week, with individual, group, and family support.

  • It’s especially suited for those transitioning from PHP or inpatient care, or those needing a focused yet flexible approach to recovery.
Discover Legacy’s IOP Pathway to Continued Healing

As our most flexible offering, standard outpatient care allows clients to attend therapy at a time that suits their work, school, or family commitments. Sessions are fewer in frequency but still provide meaningful support for sustained healing.

  • Ideal for individuals with mild to moderate needs or those maintaining progress after more intensive care.

A Whole-Person Approach to Healing

Outpatient care at Legacy Healing Center is built on the understanding that recovery isn’t just about abstinence; it’s about reclaiming your whole self. That’s why our programs take a comprehensive, personalized approach to healing that honors your mental, emotional, physical, and relational well-being.

Each care plan is developed in collaboration with a multidisciplinary clinical team and reflects your unique needs, challenges, and goals. Whether you’re processing trauma, managing co-occurring conditions, or learning to navigate life with greater clarity and confidence, your care will be as individualized as your story.

Your individualized outpatient plan may include:

  • Individual Therapy: Process the past, build emotional clarity, and define your path forward.
  • Group Therapy: Build peer support, develop interpersonal skills, and gain insight through shared experience
  • Family Involvement: Meaningful healing often extends beyond the individual. Family support can be a vital part of your journey
  • Psychiatric Care and Medication Management: For clients with dual diagnoses or ongoing mental health needs
  • Wellness and Life Skills: Mindfulness practices, guidance on balanced living, and proactive relapse prevention strategies

Tailored Therapies for Lasting Change

No two recovery journeys are the same, which is why care at Legacy Healing Center is never one-size-fits-all. Our outpatient programs draw from a comprehensive range of therapeutic tools designed to foster lasting change, personal insight, and emotional steadiness.

You might work with your team to explore:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to shift thought patterns and strengthen coping skills
  • Motivational Interviewing (MI) to clarify goals and deepen personal commitment to change
  • Trauma-Informed Therapy to process the past with safety and care
  • Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) when appropriate, to support physical and emotional stability
  • Group Support and Relapse Prevention to build community and stay grounded in recovery
  • Psychiatric Support and Monitoring for ongoing mental health needs

Healing here isn’t just about symptom relief; it’s about meaningful, lasting change.

Specialized Support for Complex Needs

Every client’s story is different, and so are their clinical needs. Legacy Healing Center offers specialized care for individuals navigating more complex recovery landscapes, whether that includes co-occurring mental health conditions, physical dependence, or longstanding patterns of substance use.

  • Dual Diagnosis & Mental Health Integration: Many clients experience substance use alongside anxiety, depression, PTSD, or other mental health challenges. Our integrated dual diagnosis care ensures that both are addressed simultaneously, so healing is comprehensive, not compartmentalized.

  • Substance-Specific Care & Medication Support: Whether you’re working through drug use, opioids addiction , stimulants, or prescription alcohol dependence, our team tailors treatment using a range of evidence-based strategies, including medication-assisted treatment (MAT), behavioral therapy, and relapse prevention planning.
  • Personalized Assessments & Recovery Planning: Your treatment plan is built around your unique history, health profile, and aspirations. We take time to understand what brought you here and what healing needs to look like for you.

A Thoughtful Step in the Continuum of Healing

Recovery isn’t a straight line. Outpatient treatment isn’t just what comes after something else. It’s a purposeful, responsive phase of care that aligns with your current needs and expands as you grow. Whether you’re stepping down after a residential treatment program or simply need consistent, lower-intensity support, outpatient treatment plays a vital role in long-term healing.

Our team works with you to determine the right level of care and transitions you smoothly when it’s time to step into the next phase, whether that’s maintenance therapy, alumni services, or more intensive clinical care.

The Importance of Family & Community

Recovery isn’t just an individual experience; it’s relational, rooted in the bonds we nurture and restore along the way. At Legacy Healing Center, we create space for families to heal together through guided therapy sessions, education, and ongoing support.

Community matters, too. Many clients find lasting connection through group sessions and peer support, forming a foundation of encouragement that continues long after formal treatment ends. At Legacy Healing Center, you’re never navigating recovery alone. We help you grow alongside those who matter most.

A Healthier Future Begins Here

It’s not just an individual experience, but one that ripples through families and relationships. That’s why our outpatient programs are designed to support recovery across every dimension of life. Whether you’re rebuilding after a crisis, stabilizing through ongoing care, or embarking on recovery for the first time, our outpatient programs offer the flexibility, structure, and support you need to move forward confidently and with purpose. 

We make space for recovery to grow alongside the life you’re already building. With the right support, recovery can become more than a turning point; it can be a lasting transformation that continues even when the crisis has passed.

If you’re ready to explore your next step, we’re here to walk it with you.
