Outpatient Treatment in Raleigh, NC

Recover Without Putting Your Life On Hold

Green Hill offers unrivaled outpatient care for young adults in the greater Raleigh area. We approach treatment holistically.

Recovery is more than abstinence from drugs and alcohol: it is about getting the most out of life.

We take an interdisciplinary approach to work with individuals because we understand that recovery must address all aspects of life.

Intensive Outpatient Program

Green Hill’s intensive outpatient program is for young adults in the Triangle pursuing recovery while managing real-world commitments. Our IOP addresses the causes of substance use and mental health disorders with up to fifteen hours of programming per week. Our treatment model emphasizes having fun while building the necessary skills to succeed in all areas of life. Members of Green Hill’s IOP will establish a commitment to make a positive change based on their personal goals and values.

Morning and evening groups available
Group, individual, and family therapy
Experiential activities + academic, career, and wellness coaching

Our curriculum addresses addiction and mental health disorders while encompassing all aspects of a fulfilling life. Members of our intensive outpatient program receive access to our unique curriculum — from resume writing workshops and time management courses to leadership development and mindfulness training.

Our resources help young adults reach their full potential.

The intensive outpatient program is a minimum of nine hours per week of clinical work with more available based on one’s needs. Members of the IOP program will build a recovery community, work individually with a therapist, and learn how to create a purposeful life. Typically, clients will be in the IOP for two to three months as they build the foundation for a life in recovery.

Outpatient Program

Green Hill’s outpatient program is less structured than the IOP program. The outpatient program is geared towards young adults with an established recovery foundation who would benefit from ongoing clinical support. At this level of care, clients are typically working and/or going to school and have succeeded in establishing a baseline of recovery. A member of our outpatient program will attend one to three group sessions and individual therapy sessions with their primary therapist a week.

Each week, clients have the opportunity to join uniquely crafted groups that focus on topics such as accountability, recovery management, emotional regulation, life skills, pursuing your passions, and adjusting to change. The outpatient level of care is designed to be flexible for young adults who are navigating changes to life circumstances during early recovery. Individuals are typically in outpatient care for three to six months. This flexibility is designed to meet the needs of clients as they transition from the more structured intensive outpatient program into self-directed recovery.

Family support remains crucial during the outpatient level of care. We provide weekly family support groups and family therapy on an as-needed basis.

Recovery Management Program

Green Hill’s recovery management program is for individuals with a strong foundation of recovery. Clients in our recovery management level of care will meet semi-weekly with a recovery management team and have therapeutic sessions once a month. This program supports individuals as they confront challenges inherent in leading a life in recovery. We understand that recovery, like life, does not unfold linearly. We provide recovery management to help young adults engage with proactive, self-directed accountability.Additionally, we encourage members of the recovery management program to participate in our alumni events and take advantage of experiential activities provided throughout the year.

Experiential Programming

We believe in the motto “make it fun and recovery will come.” In addition to psychoeducational groups, process groups, and skills-focused groups, we offer a wide range of experiential programming. We believe that extracurricular activities allow our clients to build a support network, develop new hobbies, and build the foundation of life in recovery.

Passion Projects

Exploring your passions are essential to a life well-lived. At Green Hill, we encourage our community members to find out what truly motivates them. Whether it’s time in a recording studio, art lessons, or a course on entrepreneurship, we connect our clients with the appropriate individuals in our network. Nothing is more empowering than working hard at something you love.

Athletic Leagues & Events

Whether it’s Top Golf or a two-on-two basketball tournament, our community members are encouraged to pursue an active lifestyle. You don’t need to be a competitive athlete to enjoy moving your body in a friendly competition. In addition to athletic events, Green Hill provides wellness coaching and programming.

Outdoor Adventures

We believe that building an interconnected life starts with a connection to the great outdoors. Raleigh has hundreds of parks and endless greenways. In addition to weekly experiential groups, Green Hill takes quarterly overnight trips to go fly fishing, camping, snowboarding, and to spend time at the beach. Curiosity and adventure are fuel for recovery.

Art, Culture, & Entertainment

With more than twenty music venues and dozens of museums, the Triangle is a great place to experience art, music, and culture. We incorporate these aspects into our programs.

Community Service

We believe that service is foundational to living a fulfilling life. Substance use can sever connections, leaving young adults isolated from their peers. Through service opportunities, residents reconnect to their community, offer their gifts for the greater good, and build the purpose and humility that drive recovery. Green Hill has partnered with a handful of local non-profits that align with our values and vision, including:

Healing Transitions
Wake Monarch Academy
UNC Horizons

Recovery Community

Addiction is the opposite of connection. Raleigh is home to a thriving young persons’ recovery community. Building recovery-supporting relationships is key to long-term success, and we frequently partner with members of the local recovery community to host events. Your recovery isn’t limited to the confines of Green Hill. We’re here to help you build life-long relationships with groups such as:

Alcoholics Anonymous (AA)
Narcotics Anonymous (NA)
SMART Recovery
Recovery Dharma
Recess Games USA

Academic & Career

Meeting academic and career goals is crucial for long-term recovery. We believe that young adults should engage with real life while they are provided the scaffolding of clinical care. Our academic and career program consists of resources which help young adults meet their full potential.

Executive Functioning

Goal setting and time management are crucial, especially in early recovery. We’ve developed a curriculum to meet young adults in their cognitive development. Learning how to manage your time, set goals, and develop action plans are part of our holistic treatment process.

Skills Training

Going back to school and work during early recovery can be overwhelming. We’ve designed a curriculum to address young adults’ needs, including:

Resume writing
Interview prep
Wardrobe consulting
Job placement
School applications & course selection

Networking Opportunities

Developing a supportive network is vital for everyone, especially young adults in recovery. We provide workshops and events that help clients connect to relevant members of the community.
Leadership development

We believe that everyone has the ability to be a leader. Leadership potential can be expressed in unhealthy ways that lead to substance abuse. At Green Hill, we redirect leadership skills into positive manifestations.

Clinical Care

Green Hill provides clinical services which address the underlying causes and conditions of substance use and mental health disorders. Whether you’re brand new to recovery or have an established foundation in sobriety, our clinical services help you get the most out of your life. We’re here to help you unlock your full potential.

Group Therapy

Members in our outpatient program will receive one to fifteen hours of group therapy based on their clinical needs and progress. Our program revolves around building connections and gaining introspective awareness through the group. Our clinical team uses, evidence-based therapies to explore relationships, trauma, mindfulness, the science of addiction, relapse prevention, and much more.

Individual Therapy

Members of our outpatient program meet with their primary therapist, a dually-licensed (mental health and addiction), masters-level clinician on a weekly basis. Individual therapy allows our clients to address their mental health and substance use disorder needs in a confidential environment. Our compassionate clinical team is skilled in a variety of modalities including ACT, DBT, CBT, MI, mindfulness-based interventions, EMDR, and more.

Family Therapy

When one member struggles with addiction and mental health, the family is affected. We provide a range of support from family systems therapy to family support groups and weekend retreats. We understand that no family comes with an instruction manual on the challenging journey of recovery. Our clinical team provides coaching, therapy, and education to help the family system recover together.

Case Management

From managing medical appointments and school/work, to finding a supportive living environment and filling out job applications, case management is designed to support all domains of life. We don’t believe that you can build a foundation for recovery if you’re not addressing all of life’s stressors, so we provide weekly case management as a part of our clinical program.
