“We are what’s called an intensive outpatient program, so in terms of various levels of care, we sit right in between a residential — which is a live-in facility — and outpatient — which is maybe a weekly therapy session,” Sharits explained.

Intensive outpatient services allow participants to “maintain their lives” when it comes to things like school, work and family, which may stop someone in need of help from checking into a residential program, according to Sharits.

Another benefit to the program is that it allows individuals to work through their substance use disorder problems while still facing the stressors of daily life.

“People can work on their stressors while they’re facing those stressors,” Sharits said. “Residential programs are primarily designed to be stabilization… But there are those who can greatly benefit from an outpatient program like ours.”

The Way Out Recovery SCV offers primarily evening groups that typically meet three times a week, along with individual sessions. These are designed to help participants process whatever is going on in their lives, ranging from relationships to work to legal problems or health issues, and to teach them coping skills.

In addition, family counseling and therapy is also a large part of the recovery process whenever possible at The Way Out Recovery SCV.

“We believe really strongly in involving the family in what we do, and we think it’s a vital component,” Sharits said. “Although, if somebody doesn’t have the ability of having their family present, it doesn’t stop them from getting the treatment, of course.”

For those who are hesitant about seeking intensive outpatient services from a program like The Way Out Recovery SCV, Sharits noted that recovery may not be what you think.

“What I have found is that the world of recovery from addiction is not this boring, overwhelming, ‘Oh my God, I can’t ever drink again’ thing — it is this beautiful life that has opened up and enhanced my spirituality, it enhanced my relationships, it enhanced my standing in the community, my employment,” Sharits said.

He continued, “Just everything is better in the recovery process. So take that first step by asking for help and jump into that recovery process with us, and we will show you what that life looks like.”
