outpatient therapy

---

Outpatient services in addiction and recovery refer to a type of treatment program that allows individuals to receive care and support for their substance use while living at home or in a sober living environment. These services are designed to help individuals overcome their substance use concerns and maintain their recovery. 

Outpatient treatment may include individual therapy sessions, group counseling, educational programs, and other support services. It provides a flexible and less intensive level of care compared to inpatient or residential treatment programs, allowing individuals to continue with their daily responsibilities while receiving treatment. 

Outpatient services are often recommended for individuals with mild to moderate addiction issues or those who have completed a higher level of care and need ongoing support in their recovery journey. 

Our team of licensed therapists and counselors play a crucial role in providing professional and specialized care to individuals who are struggling with addiction. Our clinical team, who specializes in addiction counseling, play a vital role in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of individuals with substance use concerns. 

Here are some key responsibilities of a therapist and counselor:

1.) ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION: Conduct a comprehensive assessment to understand the individual's substance use history, mental health, and other factors contributing to addiction. This assessment helps in developing an appropriate treatment plan.

2.) INDIVIDUAL THERAPY: Therapists provide one-on-one counseling sessions to address underlying issues related to addiction, such as trauma, co-occurring mental health disorders, and emotional well-being. They help individuals develop coping mechanisms, explore triggers, and develop relapse prevention strategies. 

3.) GROUP THERAPY: Led by either a therapist, counselor, or recovery coach, where individuals with similar struggles come together to share their experiences, provide support, and learn from one another. Group therapy helps individuals feel understood, develop healthy relationships, and provide valuable insight from peers.

4.) FAMILY THERAPY: Therapists involve the family members of individuals with addiction to address family dynamics, communication patterns, and provide education on addiction and recovery. Family therapy aims to improve family relationships, enhance support systems, and promote understanding and healing.

5.) EDUCATION AND PSYCHOEDUCATION: Therapists and counselors educate individuals about addiction, its effects on physical and mental health, and the recovery process. They provide information about coping skills, relapse prevention strategies, and healthy lifestyle choices.

6.) ONGOING SUPPORT: Our clinical professionals at Mahalo Wellness will provide ongoing support, monitoring, and follow-up care to individuals in recovery. They will help individuals navigate challenges, maintain motivation, and make necessary adjustments to the treatment plan as needed. 

Our team will always provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals to explore their addiction, address underlying issues, develop coping skills, and work towards long-term recovery. They serve as advocates, guides, and sources of support and strength throughout the recovery journey.
