Outpatient Program (OP) in Scottsdale, AZ

For clients who have completed our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), Rising Phoenix offers the opportunity to remain with our team for continuing outpatient care.

Our Outpatient Program

Our Outpatient Program (OP) provides a lower-intensity level of support designed to reinforce the progress made in PHP and IOP while building long-term independence.

What Is an Outpatient Program?

Outpatient Program (OP) is the least intensive level of structured care in Rising Phoenix’s continuum, sitting below IOP. Rather than multiple sessions per week, OP typically involves one to two group therapy sessions weekly alongside ongoing individual therapy — designed for clients who have stabilized and are ready to maintain their progress with lighter clinical support.

Who Is OP Right For?

OP is often the right fit for clients who:

 

  • Have successfully completed IOP and want to continue with the same clinical team during their transition to independent living
  • Are managing their mental health or substance use condition well but benefit from ongoing accountability and check-ins
  • Want continued access to psychiatric medication management without the time commitment of IOP or PHP
  • Are rebuilding routines around work, school, or family and need treatment that fits around a fuller schedule

What OP at Rising Phoenix Includes

Group Therapy

One to two sessions per week, continuing to reinforce coping skills, relapse prevention strategies, and peer connection at a lower time commitment than IOP.

Individual Therapy

Weekly one-on-one sessions with your therapist to maintain continuity of care and address any emerging concerns early.

Case Management

Ongoing coordination to support continued stability, including connections to community resources as needed.

Family/Couples Therapy

Continued access to family or couples sessions where appropriate for ongoing recovery support.

Psychiatric Medication Management

Continued access to psychiatric follow-up for clients on medication, ensuring consistent oversight even at a lower level of care.

A Seamless Continuum of Care

Because OP is offered at the same location by the same clinical team, clients transitioning from IOP don’t have to start over with a new provider, retell their history, or navigate a new insurance verification process. This continuity is one of the most valuable aspects of remaining within Rising Phoenix’s continuum of care through every step of recovery.

Insurance and Cost

Most commercial insurance plans, employer-sponsored plans, and PPO policies that cover PHP and IOP also cover continuing outpatient care. Our admissions team can confirm your specific OP coverage as part of your ongoing treatment planning.

Frequently Asked Questions About OP

01. Do I have to complete IOP before starting OP?
In most cases, yes — OP is designed as a step-down for clients who have completed IOP (or, in some cases, PHP) at Rising Phoenix. Talk to your clinical team about whether OP is the right next step for you.
Length of time in OP varies significantly by individual, since it’s meant to provide light-touch, ongoing support rather than a fixed program length. Your therapist will discuss an appropriate timeline based on your progress and goals.
OP is primarily designed as a continuing care option for existing Rising Phoenix clients. If you’re new to treatment, our admissions team will help determine whether PHP or IOP is the appropriate starting point.
Most commercial insurance plans that cover PHP and IOP also cover continuing outpatient therapy. Coverage varies by plan; our team can verify your specific benefits.
