Structured Outpatient Program in Clayton, NC

The Clayton SOP is an eight-week, three-evening-per-week virtual recovery program for adults who need more structure than weekly therapy. It’s designed for people living in Clayton, Riverwood, Flowers Plantation, and the 40/42 area who want accountability and relapse-prevention support without IOP-level intensity.

Yes. You can join from anywhere in Clayton or Johnston County with just a phone or laptop. This makes the program ideal for people who work in Raleigh, Garner, Smithfield, or along the I-40 corridor and don’t want to fight traffic after a long day.

Clayton clients often include teachers, construction workers, first responders, warehouse/logistics employees, stay-at-home parents, and people commuting to RTP or Raleigh. Anyone needing more structure in early recovery or after a recent slip will benefit.

The SOP provides three evenings of structured support per week without the higher intensity, daily hours, or state licensing requirements of an IOP. It’s a flexible step-up in care for people who can’t attend a full daytime or onsite program because of family or work obligations.

Yes. Clayton has an active brewery and bar culture, especially in the downtown area and around popular community gathering spots. The SOP helps you build boundaries, manage cravings, and navigate the social environments that are common in the Clayton community.

Skills include emotional regulation, stress management, communication, grounding, identifying triggers, rebuilding routines, relationship patterns, and relapse-prevention planning. Sessions also address the unique pressures of small-town living, privacy concerns, and balancing work and home life.

Groups are small — typically 6–10 people — allowing you to connect with others without feeling overwhelmed. Many Clayton clients appreciate the community feel without running into people they know locally.

Yes. When appropriate, we can provide attendance verification and participation summaries for Clayton/Smithfield court requirements, employers, or EAP programs.

The evening schedule supports the reality of Clayton’s workforce: long commutes, rotating shifts, early mornings, and late evenings. If your schedule changes weekly, we work with you to keep participation consistent.
