Creative Options

For clients participating in standard outpatient care who may need additional support but are unable to take the time away from work or family for more extensive care, flexible options can be explored along with the client’s current outpatient team.

Creative options may include adjunct groups throughout the week that fit within the client’s personal schedule. Specific supervised meal support is available for those who can support themselves outside a structured environment for the most part but need a little extra guidance to assist in ongoing recovery or prevent further decline requiring more intensive intervention.

Clients and colleagues alike, interested in exploring available creative outpatient options may contact the ACED administrator to schedule an appointment with one of our ACED counselors to further discuss a customized outpatient plan.

Clients currently in higher levels of care such as IOP who have been stepped down but aren’t ready to transition to standard outpatient may find this option bridges the gap of what can often feel like a rapid transition back into daily life.

The ACED team will work in direct collaboration with a client’s outpatient therapist and or dietitian to coordinate an enhanced outpatient program to support the client’s recovery needs.

Customized Options based on individual needs may include*:

• 2-3 Outpatient Groups per week

  • Groups may include Process Groups, Art Therapy groups, Experiential Groups etc.

• Agreed upon meal attendance

• Collaboration and ongoing communication between the ACED team and client’s outpatient team

*Coverage may vary depending on client’s insurance plan. Some insurance plans allow for one billable outpatient group per day. Individual groups and meals are priced to make creative options more affordable when it comes to private pay options.
