Project Contact – Outpatient Treatment

“My experience in the outpatient program has been amazing.“ –Katherine M. (client)

Overview

Is someone close to you struggling with a substance use disorder? Our outpatient program Project Contact can help. Our services include comprehensive substance abuse treatment for individuals, families, and significant others, all delivered in a safe and supportive environment that nurtures the whole person. We strive to provide clients with the tools they need for long-term recovery, offering high quality client-centered treatment, psychiatric assessments, medication management, individual and group therapy, all with individualized treatment plans during the day and in the evenings.

PCO services for those struggling with a substance use disorder (SUD) include:

  • Individual Telehealth Therapy
  • Group Telehealth Therapy: (Anger Management, Living in Balance, Relapse Prevention, Dual Focus, Healthy relationships, Didactic behavioral Therapy, Helping Women Recover)
  • Licensed clinicians (LMSWs, LP-MHCs, or CASACs) who can work with clients struggling with mental health and substance use disorders
  • Certified Peer Recovery Advocates (CPRA) 
  • Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) (Vivatrol and Suboxone but not methadone)  
  • Housing resource guidance
  • Educational and Vocational services

We recognize that families play an integral role in recovery and are committed to supporting family members who have been impacted by a loved one’s addiction. PCO also includes services for significant others of persons struggling with SUD, with the goals of:

  • Communicating differently with a loved one struggling with a substance use disorder, whether or not they enter treatment or stop drinking/using
  • Improving self-care, to feel better and increase overall feelings of self-efficacy
