How It Works & What to Expect

Outpatient treatment is the most flexible level of care we offer. You attend therapy sessions 1 to 2 times per week, typically for about an hour each, while living fully in your day-to-day routine. It's designed for people who have already built a strong foundation in recovery and are ready to maintain it with ongoing professional support.

Focused on Real-World Recovery

At Virtue Recovery Killeen, our Outpatient Program focuses on relapse prevention, continued skill-building, and accountability. Sessions include individual counseling and group therapy where you can work through real-life challenges with the guidance of licensed clinicians and the support of peers who understand what you're going through.

  • Individual counseling (1-2 sessions per week)
  • Group therapy with peer support
  • Relapse prevention planning
  • Coping skills for everyday triggers
  • Progress check-ins and accountability

Your Safety Net After Intensive Treatment

Most people enter OP after completing a higher level of care like PHP or IOP. Think of it as your safety net — regular check-ins that keep you on track, help you navigate triggers in everyday life, and give you a place to turn when things get tough. Recovery doesn't end when intensive treatment does, and outpatient care bridges that gap.

Recovery is possible. Our team is here to guide you every step of the way.

Evidence-Based Treatment

How We Treat. Not Just Where.

Our comprehensive clinical approach combines evidence-based therapies with holistic modalities, creating a personalized treatment plan that addresses the whole person.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT)

Evidence-based approach that helps identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors driving addiction. CBT equips you with practical skills to manage triggers, cope with cravings, and build healthier responses to stress.

Trauma-Informed Care

Specialized treatment addressing underlying trauma that often fuels substance use disorders. Our trauma-informed approach recognizes that PTSD and addiction frequently co-occur, and uses evidence-based therapies like Seeking Safety, trauma-focused CBT, and mindfulness-based grounding techniques to help process traumatic experiences safely.

Group Therapy

Regular clinical groups building connection, accountability, and shared recovery. Group therapy provides a supportive community where you can learn from others' experiences, practice interpersonal skills, and develop the peer support network essential for long-term sobriety.

Individual Therapy

One-on-one sessions with licensed clinicians tailored to your specific needs. Individual therapy provides a confidential space to explore personal challenges, process emotions, work through past traumas, and develop a personalized strategy for sustained recovery.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Integrated treatment for co-occurring mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, PTSD, and bipolar disorder. Our psychiatric team works alongside licensed chemical dependency counselors (LCDCs) and licensed professional counselors (LPCs) to address both conditions simultaneously, which has been shown to produce better outcomes and reduce relapse risk.

Relapse Prevention

Practical coping strategies, trigger identification, and sustainable planning for long-term recovery. Our relapse prevention programming helps you recognize warning signs, develop healthy responses to high-risk situations, and build a comprehensive plan for maintaining sobriety after treatment.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy(DBT)

DBT focuses on emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. Especially effective for individuals with intense emotions and co-occurring borderline personality disorder, DBT teaches practical skills to manage overwhelming feelings without turning to substances.

Equine Assisted Therapy

Therapeutic interaction with horses builds trust, emotional awareness, and communication skills. Killeen contracts with trained equine therapy instructors to provide experiential sessions that help clients develop confidence, self-regulation, and healthy relationship patterns outside the traditional clinical setting.

SMART Recovery

Self-Management and Recovery Training (SMART) is a science-based alternative to 12-step programs. SMART Recovery focuses on four key areas: building and maintaining motivation, coping with urges, managing thoughts and behaviors, and living a balanced life — empowering you to take control of your recovery.

Holistic Therapies

Our holistic therapy offerings include Sound Healing, Yoga, Music & Art Therapy, and Dog/Pet Therapy. These mind-body approaches complement clinical treatment by reducing stress, promoting emotional expression, improving physical wellness, and supporting whole-person healing throughout the recovery process.

Seeking Safety

Present-focused therapy designed for co-occurring trauma and substance use disorders. Seeking Safety teaches practical coping skills across cognitive, behavioral, and interpersonal domains without requiring clients to revisit traumatic memories before they are ready, making it a safe entry point for trauma recovery.

Matrix Model

A structured outpatient treatment approach combining CBT, family education, 12-step facilitation, drug testing, and relapse prevention into an integrated framework. The Matrix Model provides a clear, organized structure that helps clients build self-esteem, restore dignity, and develop a drug- and alcohol-free lifestyle.

Outpatient Program (OP) FAQ

Common questions about our outpatient program (op) at Virtue Recovery Killeen.

What is outpatient rehab?

Outpatient rehab is the most flexible level of addiction treatment, involving therapy sessions 1-2 times per week while you continue living at home and maintaining your daily responsibilities. At Virtue Recovery Killeen, outpatient treatment includes individual counseling, group therapy, and relapse prevention — serving as the final step in the continuum of care after more intensive treatment.

What is the difference between outpatient and inpatient rehab?

Inpatient (residential) rehab requires you to live at the treatment facility 24/7 for approximately 30 days with full-time programming. Outpatient rehab allows you to live at home and attend therapy sessions 1-2 times per week. Outpatient is best suited for individuals who have already completed a higher level of care and are stable in their recovery, while inpatient is appropriate for those who need immersive, round-the-clock support.

How often is outpatient therapy?

Outpatient therapy at Virtue Recovery Killeen typically involves 1-2 sessions per week, each lasting about 60 minutes. This may include a mix of individual counseling and group therapy. The frequency can be adjusted based on your clinical needs — some clients attend more frequently during early recovery and taper as they gain stability.

Is outpatient treatment effective?

Yes, outpatient treatment is effective when it follows a higher level of care (such as residential, PHP, or IOP) and when the client has a stable, supportive home environment. Research shows that continued outpatient engagement after intensive treatment significantly reduces relapse rates. It serves as a critical bridge between structured care and fully independent recovery.
