Recovery Support From the Comfort of Home

Telehealth is changing how individuals receive support for substance use disorders. Through secure virtual appointments, eligible clients may access approved parts of their outpatient treatment from home or another private location.

Virtual care may be used for counseling, recovery planning, follow-up appointments, education, family support, and communication with members of the treatment team.

Our team will explain which appointments may be completed online and when an in-person visit is required.
