For some women, learning to live without drugs or alcohol needn’t take 28 days away from work, family or school. That’s why we created a treatment program women may attend in the evenings.

The Evening Intensive Outpatient Program combines several therapeutic components scheduled each night for sixteen consecutive weeks. It is based on the evidence-based Matrix Model, which recognizes the diversity and individuality of each patient’s stage in recovery. During the patient’s participation, recovery skills, relapse prevention, family involvement, individual therapy and 12 step involvement are emphasized. Patients may enter the program at any stage as the model accommodates people in various stages of early recovery.
