As the women of Grace & Emerge begin to blossom, they step down on our continuum of care to Reclaim — a phase of treatment with lighter programming and more opportunities to practice the tools of recovery.
It also includes one day per week of therapeutic treatment in our Outpatient Program for women.
A standard outpatient program (OP) is similar to an intensive outpatient program (IOP), with the main difference being the time commitment. Outpatient programs for women do not require as many days or hours of participation in comparison with an IOP. Clients are still committed to working on themselves through therapy and process groups, helping them develop coping skills and strategies to support long-term healing. At the same time, however, they can enjoy increased flexibility to build a better life in practice.
With that in mind, clients beginning an outpatient program for trauma, mental health, or addiction should be prepared to take on more responsibility and commitment regarding their recovery. The goal of an outpatient program is ultimately to help the client learn to live gradually with less clinical support to manage and maintain their new way of life. Essentially, it’s helpful to think of our outpatient program for women in Austin as a stepping stone to living a life built on self-awareness and a commitment to growth.
An outpatient program for trauma, mental health, or addiction can help guide you on your journey toward long-term recovery — and make a lasting difference in your life. It is normal to feel overwhelmed when trying to manage mental health challenges or substance use on top of responsibilities such as work, school, and family. These obligations, though vital, should not prevent you from getting the support you deserve. Participating in an outpatient program for women can allow you to take care of yourself while still attending to your commitments outside of treatment.
When you engage in the outpatient curriculum, you have the ability to:
Maintain your responsibilities
Grace & Emerge Recovery’s outpatient programming is based on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). Our unique approach to ACT focuses on aiding clients in reconnecting to their body, mind, and spirit to form new habits in recovery. Outpatient clients participate in individual therapy, process groups, and therapeutic groups — once per week for around two to three hours at a time.
During individual therapy sessions, clients meet with a Master’s-level clinician that they are matched with according to their unique needs and goals. In order to provide the best continuity of care for our clients, we also offer clients the option to continue receiving support from these clinicians after the completion of our program.
The outpatient programming of the Reclaim phase lasts four months or more. During this period, clients will work closely with a clinician and support team to learn new lessons and put them into practice. This newly attained psychological flexibility supports clients in learning to:
Giving clients several months to learn and apply new skills and coping strategies with support leads to better long-term recovery outcomes. Of course, an individual’s commitment to applying their learnings to their new life plays a large role in the recovery process. Ultimately, the goal is to help clients learn how to live a healthier, autonomous life without clinical support — however long that takes.
Grace & Emerge Recovery is so much more than just outpatient programming. Our unique step-down women's treatment program offers holistic healing for trauma, mental health, and addiction recovery in a community of unparalleled support.
