General outpatient Program (GOP)*
Maintain long-term recovery with RCA’s General outpatient Program
GOP focuses on overall quality-of-life improvement and strengthening of relapse prevention skills. This level of care looks into the types of challenges that prevent you from experiencing optimal life satisfaction. These may include the impact of trauma, depression, and anxiety.
When you’re in this level of care, you are no longer struggling with active substance use but may be experiencing other behaviors or life stressors that could create vulnerability to relapse or impair quality of life.
You may participate in GOP services on a weekly basis for an indefinite period of time, as you continue to work with our clinicians to create the type of life to which you aspire.
