Virtual Low-Intensity Outpatient Program

Virtual low-intensity outpatient programs at the Betty Ford Center are similar to our IOP level of care, with an ultimate goal of continuing your personalized mental health and addiction treatment plan. with However, in our low-intensity outpatient program, you will gradually attend less group sessions and put your new recovery skills to the test in your daily routines.

Virtual Outpatient Mental Health Services

Beginning with an assessment, our mental health experts will create an individualized care plan and specialized support services to address your particular situation.

Virtual Intervention Workshop

When the disease of addiction has taken over, people who are actively addicted to alcohol or drugs are often the last to realize they need help.

Our recovery experts offer an intervention education seminar for adults by appointment. 

This seminar is free to the public and includes educational materials about the signs and symptoms of substance abuse as well as what’s involved in planning and conducting a successful intervention.
