Initial Assessment
Discussion of current concerns, relevant history, daily functioning, and the type of professional support that may be needed.
Outpatient rehabilitation allows eligible individuals to seek professional support while continuing to live at home. The appropriate level of care depends on a person's health, recovery needs, home environment, and professional assessment.
Outpatient rehabilitation is a model of care in which a person attends scheduled appointments or sessions without staying overnight at a treatment facility. The type and frequency of support vary according to individual circumstances and available services.
For some people, outpatient support can form part of a recovery plan. Others may need a more structured setting or medical care before outpatient services are suitable.
A healthcare professional can help determine the appropriate level of care based on current symptoms, substance-use history, physical health, and safety considerations.
Services vary by provider and individual care plan. Ask the provider which options are currently available before making a decision.

Answers to common questions about outpatient care and recovery support.
Inpatient or residential care involves staying at a facility, whereas outpatient care involves attending scheduled appointments while living elsewhere. The right option depends on clinical needs and safety.
Outpatient services may be suitable for some people, depending on their assessment, health, withdrawal risk, and available support. Not everyone can safely be treated in an outpatient setting.
Often, outpatient care is designed around scheduled visits rather than an overnight stay. Appointment frequency and individual requirements vary by service and care plan.
There is no single timeline. Duration depends on the person's needs, goals, progress, and the type of service being provided.
