Outpatient therapy services at UCS are a key element of our integrated treatment philosophy. Patients begin to discover the root causes behind substance use disorders and addiction and work with their counseling and therapy team to develop an individual plan for living in recovery. Outpatient therapy services are available at UCS for individual sessions and in group therapy settings covering a wide variety of topics. Contact us today for more information and the current therapy topic schedule at any of our locations.
