WOMENS OUTPATIENT PROGRAM

Akeela’s Women’s Outpatient Program provides general and intensive outpatient services to women who present with a variety of substance abuse issues. They frequently have ongoing issues with the Office Children’s Services, have no or low-paying employment, and they often have histories with abusive men. While they assess as an ASAM I to a ASAM II.1, they bring with them a variety of personal problems that compound their substance abuse dependency.

We attempt to meet their needs through an assessment to determine their level of addiction, the development of a treatment plan, group counseling, and one-on-one sessions. Because the program is specifically for women, we incorporate gender specific issues around relationships, parenting and related issues into our program.
