Outpatient mental health services are a step-down in level of care after completing a residential program. Outpatient services provide ongoing mental health interventions as a continuation of treatment. You may return to your home and attend the outpatient therapy sessions as prescribed in the care plan, or you may wish to reside in transitional housing during the outpatient program.
Ongoing outpatient programming is essential for achieving a successful treatment outcome. Participating in outpatient services allows you to practice the skills learned in the residential program. These include new coping skills, interpersonal skills, stress-reduction techniques, new thought-behavior patterns, and other wellness tools. Outpatient care can help reinforce your recovery and enhance confidence.
Once a client has completed residential mental health treatment, outpatient care can provide continued support while allowing them to return home, resume a partial work schedule, or fulfill family responsibilities.
Outpatient treatment includes a range of therapeutic services designed to support continued progress while providing greater flexibility in daily life.
One-on-one sessions with a licensed therapist provide a private setting to address symptoms, challenges, treatment goals, and continued progress.
Group sessions provide an opportunity for peers in treatment to connect, share experiences, and develop healthy coping strategies in a supportive setting.
Practical classes help clients prepare to reenter the workplace, manage everyday responsibilities, and strengthen skills that support greater independence.
Interpersonal skills training helps strengthen communication, establish healthier relationships, and develop effective conflict resolution techniques.
Holistic activities can complement clinical treatment by helping reduce stress, encourage relaxation, and support overall emotional and physical wellbeing.
When clinically appropriate, medication may be used to help manage symptoms. Ongoing monitoring helps ensure medications continue to support the treatment plan.
Outpatient treatment may also serve as a “step up” from private practice mental health care. Someone who has reached a plateau or needs more intensive support may benefit from the additional structure and services available through an outpatient mental health program.

Bodhi Mental Health outpatient treatment is available in three levels of care. Outpatient services can provide a seamless transition from residential treatment while helping you continue moving forward in your healing.
The appropriate level of care depends on factors such as the severity of the mental health disorder and the degree to which symptoms interfere with daily functioning.
PHP is the highest level of outpatient care. Treatment typically involves participating in outpatient services five days per week, totaling approximately 25–30 program hours each week.
IOP is a step down in intensity from PHP while still providing structured mental health treatment. A typical schedule includes three days of treatment per week for approximately three hours per day.
Basic outpatient care provides ongoing support with fewer weekly treatment hours. This may include individual therapy, group therapy, life skills training, or a combination of services based on individual needs.
We work only with reputable, licensed mental health providers committed to quality care.
We take time to understand your situation and help you explore care options that truly fit your needs.
