Why Patients Choose THS for Substance Abuse Treatment
Court-Ordered & DUI Assessments

Outpatient Substance Abuse Treatment: OP & IOP
THS offers two levels of outpatient care, so treatment can be tailored to your stage of recovery.
If people are ready to make changes, reach out. Keep reaching out. Don’t just put your eggs in one basket—ask for help. Don’t be afraid to be vulnerable, because that’s what it takes to make change.

Yes — all treatment at THS is confidential under Washington State law and federal regulations (42 CFR Part 2, which specifically protects substance use treatment records).

Outpatient (OP) treatment usually means individual or group counseling once or twice a week. Intensive outpatient (IOP) programs offer more structure — typically several group sessions per week — for those who need additional support. Both let you live at home and keep up with work, school, and family. During your assessment, we’ll recommend the level of care that fits your situation.
THS does not provide medical detox services. If you’re experiencing withdrawal symptoms, please contact your primary care provider or find another licensed medical facility that offers detox treatment — in an emergency, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room. Once detox is complete, our outpatient and intensive outpatient (IOP) programs can support your ongoing recovery.
