Outpatient treatment at the Wellness Center includes assessments, individual and group therapy, addiction education, life skills training, and relapse prevention. Treatment is designed to allow clients to live substance-free and taper off their MAT medication. As treatment ends, CCA offers aftercare, such as connections to recovery groups, housing and employment support, and wraparound services.
