Outpatient care involves attending treatment appointments rather than living at a treatment facility. It can be part of ongoing addiction care, including a transition from a more intensive program when clinically appropriate.
Having a job, family support, or previous treatment does not by itself establish which program is right for you. Discuss current substance use, mental and physical health needs, living arrangements, and available support with the assessment team.

From Our Blog
What to Ask About Group Size Before Starting IOPPrepare practical questions about group format, facilitator support, privacy, and fit before beginning outpatient care.
Outpatient programs differ in their time commitment and support. A treatment professional can help you compare options based on your needs. Review our IOP and PHP pages for questions to bring to that conversation; completing one program is not an automatic requirement for another.
Use our San Diego location information to plan your visit after your appointment is confirmed. Outpatient attendance does not include a residential stay; ask separately about any housing or transportation arrangements you may need.
General background: Indian Health Service: treatment types. This explains care settings and assessment, not Amity scheduling, included services, or individual eligibility. For a medical emergency, call 911 rather than waiting for an admissions response.
Ask which days and times are currently offered, how often you would attend, and how missed appointments are handled. Evening sessions are not assumed.
Clarify which individual or group services are recommended, who provides them, and whether any care needs a separate referral.
Discuss your support at home and who to contact when needs change between appointments. Do not assume a routine outpatient program provides around-the-clock care.
Bring questions about cravings, daily challenges, and coping skills so the care team can discuss goals relevant to your situation.
Request an estimate for the recommended care and check benefits with your insurer. Ask about network status, authorization, deductibles, and copays; verification is not a payment guarantee.
Ask how a support person may participate, what consent is needed, and which family services are currently available rather than assuming they are included.
Use these steps to prepare for care. The assessment and your agreed treatment plan determine the next steps, not a fixed sequence for everyone.
Discuss your current needs and treatment history, including any immediate medical concerns, so the team can explain the appropriate assessment process.
Ask why outpatient care, IOP, PHP, or another setting is recommended and what support the proposed plan provides.
Confirm session times, expected costs, travel arrangements, and the first appointment before making commitments.
Follow the agreed plan and discuss barriers such as work conflicts, transportation, or changes in support with the care team.
Ask when your plan will be reviewed and how to seek reassessment if symptoms, substance use, or support needs change.
Ask admissions about an assessment, current scheduling, and potential costs. You do not need to choose a level of care on your own before reaching out.
Confirm clinical fit, scheduling, availability, and costs before enrolling.
