Treatment Services

Located at a convenient site in Montgomery County, the Outpatient Addiction Treatment program offers a broad range of services for adolescents and adults with substance abuse disorder (i.e., alcohol and/or other substances), including:

  • Evaluation services
  • Structured outpatient programs
  • Adolescent substance abuse education and outpatient treatment

Our services are approved for coverage by some insurance companies and managed care plans.

Evaluation Services

Our staff is committed to making the evaluation process comfortable and educational for all involved. They take a complete biopsychosocial history that becomes a primary tool in formulating an individualized plan of treatment. The evaluation data provides the basis for diagnosis and admission into the outpatient program if appropriate.

The evaluation requires one to two hours and frequently includes information gathering with the client's family, significant other and/or employer/school.

Treatment Levels

All of Suburban Hospital’s Rehabilitation Programs stress abstinence as a cornerstone of recovery. Clients will be randomly given a breathalyzer test and will be required to submit random urine samples to facilitate the recovery process and ensure a drug- and alcohol-free treatment environment. Introduction to self-help meetings, such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous and Smart Recovery, is part of the treatment plan.

Structured Outpatient: Phase 1

Outpatient meets Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 10 a.m. to noon and lasts 21 sessions (approximately seven weeks). 

Structured Outpatient: Phase 2

Continuing Care Group

Treatment does not end at the conclusion of the structured treatment. Addiction is a chronic disease. As a task of treatment, each client is directed to formulate an aftercare plan prior to completion of the initial phase of treatment. Clients then continue in the Continuing Care Group to improve their potential for lasting recovery. 

The Continuing Care Group meets twice per week for 75 minutes, focusing on the transition from intensive treatment to community-based recovery and establishing a solid recovery program.
