Outpatient treatment
Detox, residential, PHP, IOP and outpatient care, all at Chandler.
The level of care
Outpatient treatment is the phase designed to help you step back into real life. It is where treatment and real life start to overlap: you stay engaged in therapy, groups, community and clinical support while you return to work, home, family and a new routine.
Not sure which level you need? It is not a question to guess at. A short call sorts it out: (888) 362-5576.
Therapy, groups, community and clinical support carry on while work, home, family and a new routine come back in around them.
Hours come down as responsibilities come back, so school, a job and the rest of your life gradually reenter rather than arriving all at once.
Many people pair this phase with a sober living home for structure, with the same autonomy and freedom. Placement help is part of the program.
Worth knowing
Going back is the point of this phase, not a risk to it. Schedules are built to grow with you, so work, school and the other responsibilities you have been away from come back gradually rather than all in one week. Tell admissions what your week needs to look like and they will work the timing out with you.
At home, if home is somewhere steady. Many people pair this phase with a sober living home for the added support and structure while keeping the same autonomy and freedom. Sober living placement assistance is part of what our case managers do, so raise it before you get to this phase rather than after.
Typically 45 to 90 days, and longer when that is what somebody needs. Taken end to end with detox, residential and the step-down phases, the continuum usually runs around 90 to 120 days. Your case manager reviews it with you as you go rather than holding you to a number fixed on day one.
Tell us. This is the phase where real life is back, which is exactly why it is the phase where it happens, and a program that only works when nothing goes wrong is not much of a program. The response is to adjust the level of care, not to end it, and every rung above this one is in the same building.

"Buena Vista was great for me. Comfortable, good groups, great staff. If I need to return I know they are there. And I'd recommend this place to anyone in need of recovery from addiction. Lolo at the front is always warm and welcoming, the nurses are caring and always there to help! Can't forget the BHTs always asking what they can do to help in whatever way they can."

"I cannot express enough gratitude for the support I received from Buena Vista Recovery. Katy went above and beyond in helping me navigate my court case and making pre-trial calls, ensuring I felt supported and informed every step of the way. Her dedication was truly remarkable. Mr Bacon and the entire staff played a pivotal role in changing my life for the better. Their compassion, understanding, and commitment to my recovery made all the difference. I highly recommend Buena Vista Recovery to anyone seeking help and transformation. Thank you all for everything!"

"So incredibly grateful for everyone that has been there for me throughout my recovery journey. I really miss residential lol. Not only were the staff there absolutely phenomenal and amazingly informed, but most really enjoyed what they were doing. The kitchen and food was five star most days. On top of all that, I got to have my own room and bathroom, queen size bed, vaulted ceilings, and flat screen tv. But, I am extremely grateful for the monthly Alumni events that we have. It's one of the highlights of my month every single time. Thank you Buena Vista. If I could give more stars, I so would."

"I had an amazing experience at Buena Vista… The staff is great… The food is good… Lolo, Lorenzo, Millie, Eva, Bianca and Miss Katherine are awesome facilitators… I'm really going to miss them… I'm continuing with their after care IOP classes with Millie virtually which is perfect for me… Justin runs a great program and Chris runs a great group of staff… thank you all of you for being an active part of my recovery. I couldn't have done this without you guys. Love all of you!!! Lolo, you're a wonderful person that cares about all the patients there and it really shows… you welcome us all and make us comfortable and your classes are great! Love you Queen!"

"I'm so grateful for this place 💯!!! I learned so much about myself and got some great tools and the help I need. I'm out of inpatient but I'm still going there for services. I have all the love for the faculty and that place in general. They are amazing. Anyone that has anything bad to say about Buena Vista was either there for the wrong reasons or weren't ready. Thank you guys all the way around"

"I just want to say thank you to Buena Vista and the staff that work there. These people care. I can personally tell the difference between someone who just comes in for a paycheck and someone who has unconditional love and concern for every individual that they work with. From detox to out patient the staff go above and beyond to get their patients needs met! A special thanks to my case manager Katy for believing in me when I didn't even believe in myself. She met with me every day she worked and set me up for success! I'm on the next chapter of my life not only clean but finally happy. Thank you Katy!! And thank you Buena Vista. I recommend anybody needing help to at least check in for detox. Much love to you all"

Yes. Outpatient treatment is the final phase of our continuum at Chandler, after medical detox, residential treatment, partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient. Several outpatient programs run, so the level of support can be matched to where you actually are rather than to where the program assumes you should be.
Typically 45 to 90 days, sometimes more if that is what is needed. End to end, the full continuum from detox through outpatient usually runs around 90 to 120 days. The length is reviewed with your case manager as you go, not fixed in advance.
Yes, and that is largely the point of this phase. Schedules grow with you, allowing work, school and other responsibilities to gradually reenter your life while therapy, groups and clinical support continue around them.
Yes. Many people pair this phase with a sober living home for added support and structure while keeping the same autonomy and freedom. We do not run the housing ourselves, so the help is in knowing the local landscape and lining it up alongside the program.
Sometimes. If you are medically stable, have somewhere settled to live and a support system around you, it can be a reasonable starting point. If you are still drinking or using daily, medical detox is the safer first step and it is in the same building. A short call settles which is which.
Planning for it starts before it ends. Ongoing therapy, a primary care provider, psychiatric care where it applies and community support are arranged while there is still time to arrange them, so the week after your last session has appointments in it rather than a gap.
We answer at any hour of the day or night. There is nothing you have to decide on that first call, and nothing you need to have worked out before you make it.
