What is An Outpatient Program?
One of the most confusing steps in choosing the best treatment program for you in Los Angeles is deciding between residential and outpatient treatment. Searching through the countless addiction and mental health treatment options can be extremely overwhelming. Making the decision to seek recovery is a courageous choice, which is why it is important you find resources and a support system that caters to your individual needs.
Outpatient programs are designed in a way that allows clients to receive the treatment they need while also maintaining their jobs, participating in school, and tending to familial and other vital responsibilities. While attending Launch Center’s outpatient program in Los Angeles, clients will participate in individual therapy, group therapy, and educational sessions. At Launch Centers, our outpatient program consists of evidence-based therapeutic modalities. Our intensive outpatient and outpatient programs incorporate modalities such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma therapy, family therapy, expressive arts, Medication-Assisted Therapies, and experiential therapy. Different levels of outpatient treatment programs were created to help each individual transition progressively from more frequent and intensive therapy to less as you display the ability to manage your recovery with less clinical support.
Outpatient Program In Los Angeles
Launch Centers prides itself on its ability to treat a wide range of personal issues from substance use disorders to mental health disorders. Because of our years of experience and expertise, we treat individuals on a case by case basis in which we consider their unique situations rather than applying a cookie-cutter approach. Pain is complicated, personal, intimate, and unique which is why we understand that each client’s disorder may vary in severity and lie on a different part of the spectrum. Our outpatient program in Los Angeles is designed to help each and every client achieve recovery and independence. When a young adult, those aged 18-35, reaches out to Launch Centers they will first participate in an intake process. The intake involves a thorough review of the individual’s treatment needs and life challenges, as well as their hopes and dreams. From this interview, a personalized therapeutic plan is created that outlines a structured program for changing disruptive behaviors and learning new life skills, helping the individual achieve their purpose in life.
Launch Center’s Los Angeles outpatient program is designed to help those young adults struggling with substance abuse, dual diagnosis, failure to launch, and mental health disorders. Outpatient treatment includes the following program elements:

Individual talk therapy sessions
A personal Launch therapist will be assigned to the individual for the duration of the program, allowing a connection to develop that fosters mutual trust. The therapists utilize the treatment modality best suited to the individual’s needs and may include cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed, existential, or humanistic therapies.

Group therapy
Group therapy offers peer support and feedback with a therapist facilitating topics of discussion. These topics may include personal relationships, past traumas, addiction recovery, sexuality, health, and positive psychology.

Family therapy
The family dynamic is often inherent to the issues of the individual seeking outpatient treatment. A healthy family system is important to cultivate through family therapy sessions that can provide open communication in a safe and supportive space. Family therapy provides tools for improving communication between family members going forward, increasing harmony and improving the overall health of the family dynamic.

Expressive Arts
Psychodrama involves role-playing the internal or external conflicts that can keep an individual feeling trapped, leading to a sense of freedom.
