Descriptions for Outpatient & Routine Services
RHA Outpatient Services
RHA Outpatient Services provide individual and group treatment for mental health and substance use, and for people who have intellectual and developmental disabilities along with mental health and/or substance use concerns. Once you have completed an assessment and developed a service plan with an RHA clinician, you will begin outpatient treatment.
Our outpatient program recognizes that recovery is a continuous process of growth and skill-building that is unique to each person. Our team of licensed therapists, Peer Support Specialists, and other professionals will work with you to build a path towards recovery that is the right “pace” for you – utilizing your strengths to enhance resiliency and navigate challenges along the way.
We cover a wide range of topics in our therapeutic sessions to address the many facets of recovery: healthy moods and thoughts, trauma recovery, overcoming anxiety, healthy relationships, living substance-free and much more. We understand the importance of treating the whole person in a safe and respectful environment, instilling hope as we work with you to build feelings of self-worth and confidence.
