- Early Recovery Group (ERG) — The ERG provides weekly group treatment for individuals who have a mild substance use disorder that requires less intervention than IOP. Goals include education to prevent the substance abuse disorder from progressing into a more serious disease.

RPG consists of weekly groups where individuals receive support from their peers and work on their relapse prevention plans. Challenging problems are brought to the treatment process to prevent a return to unhealthy thinking and behaviors.
Our outpatient programs for addiction and substance use disorder treatment can meet you where you are—whether you have recently completed an inpatient rehab program or you need less-intensive treatment than an inpatient program would provide.
