Flexible, Christ-Centered Care Through Our Outpatient Program (OP)

At Firm Foundation Treatment Center in Woodstock, GA, our Outpatient Program (OP) offers a flexible treatment option for men in recovery who have reached a stable point in their journey. OP is ideal for clients who have completed higher levels of care, such as our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) or Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), and are ready for more independence while still receiving support.

Our Christ-centered OP allows men to maintain their work, school, and family responsibilities while continuing to strengthen their sobriety. By incorporating evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Relapse Prevention, Family Systems Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Art Therapy, OP helps men address the ongoing challenges of recovery. Through weekly therapy sessions, clients receive the care and guidance needed to maintain long-term sobriety.

What is the Outpatient Program (OP)?

The Outpatient Program (OP) at Firm Foundation Treatment Center is designed for men who have achieved stability in their recovery but still benefit from ongoing therapeutic support. OP is the least intensive level of care we offer and allows clients to transition from structured treatment into full reintegration into their daily lives.

Clients in OP typically attend weekly therapy sessions, focusing on relapse prevention, emotional regulation, and maintaining the progress they have made in previous stages of treatment. OP provides a flexible schedule that allows clients to manage their personal and professional responsibilities while staying connected to the support system that has helped them achieve sobriety.

Our Christ-centered approach ensures that spiritual growth remains a central focus, empowering men to align their recovery with their faith.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in OP

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) remains a key part of our OP, helping clients continue to develop healthy thought patterns and behaviors. Addiction often arises from negative thinking patterns, and CBT helps clients maintain the mental strategies they need to avoid relapse.

How CBT Supports Recovery in OP:

• Maintaining Healthy Thinking Patterns: CBT helps clients stay aware of negative thoughts and replace them with healthier ones that support long-term recovery.
• Managing Cravings and High-Risk Situations: CBT provides clients with coping strategies to handle cravings, stress, and high-risk situations that could lead to relapse.
• Building Emotional Resilience: CBT focuses on strengthening clients’ emotional resilience, helping them manage their feelings without turning to substances.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in OP

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) helps men in recovery continue to manage their emotions and relationships in healthy ways. DBT is particularly effective for individuals who struggle with emotional regulation, impulsive behaviors, or maintaining healthy relationships.

How DBT Supports Recovery in OP:

• Emotional Regulation: DBT helps clients maintain the skills they have developed for managing difficult emotions and reducing impulsive behaviors.
• Interpersonal Effectiveness: Through DBT, clients learn how to build and maintain healthy relationships, improving their communication skills and reducing the conflicts that can lead to relapse.
• Mindfulness Practices: DBT incorporates mindfulness techniques, helping clients stay grounded and present, which is key to managing stress and staying focused on their recovery.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) in OP

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is an effective approach for helping clients stay committed to their recovery goals. Even after completing higher levels of care, some men may struggle with maintaining their motivation for long-term sobriety. MI helps clients revisit their reasons for recovery and strengthens their commitment to staying sober.

How MI Supports Recovery in OP:

• Reinforcing Motivation: MI helps clients reflect on their reasons for pursuing sobriety, reinforcing their motivation to continue making positive changes.
• Building Confidence: Through MI, clients build confidence in their ability to maintain sobriety and handle life’s challenges without substances.
• Strengthening Commitment to Recovery: MI encourages clients to set new recovery goals and remain committed to achieving them.

Relapse Prevention in OP

Relapse Prevention remains a central focus of our OP, as clients in this stage of recovery must remain vigilant about avoiding relapse. Our relapse prevention strategies help clients identify and manage triggers, develop new coping mechanisms, and maintain their progress.

How Relapse Prevention Supports Recovery in OP:

• Identifying Triggers: Clients work with their therapist to continually assess and identify new triggers that may arise as they reintegrate into daily life.
• Creating a Long-Term Relapse Prevention Plan: Each client develops a personalized relapse prevention plan that includes strategies for avoiding triggers, managing stress, and staying connected to a support system.
• Building Resilience: Through ongoing therapy, clients build emotional and mental resilience, equipping them to handle high-risk situations and maintain their sobriety.

Family Systems Therapy in OP

Family Systems Therapy is an important part of ongoing recovery for many clients. Addiction often damages family relationships, and ongoing work with loved ones is necessary to repair and rebuild trust. Family Systems Therapy helps families continue to heal and grow together.

How Family Systems Therapy Supports Recovery in OP:

• Strengthening Family Support: Family Systems Therapy encourages ongoing communication and healing between family members, helping create a supportive environment for the individual in recovery.
• Improving Relationships: Therapy provides a space for family members to continue working through conflicts and repairing damaged relationships.
• Setting Healthy Boundaries: Clients and their families learn how to set and maintain healthy boundaries, which is essential for long-term recovery and family harmony.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in OP

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) continues to play a role in helping clients heal from unresolved trauma. Many men use substances to cope with emotional pain, and EMDR helps reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic memories.

How EMDR Supports Recovery in OP:

• Processing Trauma: For clients who have experienced trauma, EMDR helps reduce the emotional burden of these memories, making it easier to stay sober.
• Reducing Triggers: EMDR addresses the root causes of addiction, reducing the emotional triggers that may lead to relapse.
• Building Emotional Stability: As clients heal from trauma, they develop stronger emotional resilience, helping them stay focused on their recovery.

Art Therapy in OP

Art Therapy continues to be a valuable tool for men in recovery, offering a creative outlet for expressing emotions and exploring their recovery journey. Through the process of making art, clients can gain new insights into their feelings and experiences.

How Art Therapy Supports Recovery in OP:

• Non-Verbal Expression: Art Therapy allows clients to express emotions that may be difficult to articulate in words, providing a deeper understanding of their inner world.
• Processing Emotions: Creative expression can help clients process complex emotions, reducing stress and emotional overwhelm that can lead to relapse.
• Building Confidence and Self-Esteem: Art Therapy encourages personal growth and self-expression, helping clients build confidence and a sense of accomplishment.

Christ-Centered Healing in OP

At Firm Foundation Treatment Center, our OP continues to incorporate faith-based support into every aspect of treatment. We believe that true healing requires a balance of mind, body, and spirit, and our Christ-centered approach helps men stay grounded in their faith throughout their recovery.

• Prayer and Reflection: Clients are encouraged to incorporate prayer and spiritual reflection into their daily routine, using their faith as a source of strength and guidance.
• Spiritual Counseling: Clients have opportunities for spiritual growth through Bible study, prayer groups, and spiritual counseling, helping them maintain their connection to their faith as they continue their recovery.
• Faith as a Source of Strength: By integrating faith into the recovery process, clients are able to draw on their spirituality as a powerful tool for maintaining sobriety.
