What level of care aligns with Outpatient Services?

Outpatient Services align with Level 1 care, which is specifically designed for individuals who require support but do not need the intensive structure of higher levels of care. Level 1 services generally provide treatment options that allow clients to attend sessions while maintaining their regular daily routines, making it suitable for those with less severe symptoms or those who are transitioning from higher levels of care.

This level of care typically involves fewer hours of contact and less intensive therapeutic interventions compared to higher levels, such as Level 2 and Level 3. Level 2 care involves more extensive outpatient services, while Level 3.3 represents a clinically managed, high-intensity outpatient program which is much more structured. Therefore, Level 1 is the most appropriate designation for standard outpatient services that are widely accessible and less intensive.
