Outpatient Treatment

We meet people where they are and help them get to where they want to be.

Outpatient treatment must be flexible and effective. It enables individuals to meet their recovery goals without the need for overnight stays. Treatment plans are highly personalized to meet the needs and goals of the individual.  To determine the level of care needed a person will meet with a Fora addiction counselor for a comprehensive substance use disorder assessment.

Fora offers our Outpatient program at both SE Portland and Hillsboro locations. Intensive Outpatient (IOP) is only available at our SE Portland location.

Outpatient Program: This treatment program includes weekly group sessions as well as regular one-on-one therapy sessions with an accredited substance use (or dual diagnosis) counselor. Patients should plan for between 1 and 8 total hours of counseling per week.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP): This treatment program includes a minimum of three hours of group therapy per day, 3 days per week; an individual therapy session each week. Patients that are seeking  mental health medication management also have access to a psychiatric nurse practitioner by referral.  Patients should plan on between 9 and 15 total hours of counseling per week.

Intensive Outpatient is a supportive option for individuals who need more structure and higher frequency of services than standard outpatient. Intensive Outpatient is also a great option for someone struggling with a substance use disorder who has completed residential (inpatient) level of care and is needing additional support to return to living independently.
