Alcohol & Drug Outpatient Rehab Programme

Our programmes are founded on evidence-based practices and are delivered by addiction registered experts with lived experience who have a commitment and passion to help our clients live a successful recovery-focused lifestyle.

 

Our treatment programme is designed to accommodate our clients’ work and personal schedules while still adhering to a regular comprehensive treatment recovery plan. If you’ve been looking for outpatient addiction treatment in Auckland that takes a clinical approach without requiring you to be on-site full-time, this is designed for you.

 

Typically, our alcohol and drug comprehensive outpatient programme in NZ offers an array of treatment activities for approximately 3-4 hours per week. This could include an evening session.

 

Our treatment programme supports our clients in being involved in several different types of integrative recovery treatment, these include:

• Comprehensive Assessment

• Alcohol and Drug Screening and Evaluation

• Full Psychological Consultation Report

• Individual Counselling/Psychotherapy (see our wider alcohol counselling services)

• Psycho-education Groups

• Interpersonal Psychotherapy Groups (e.g. emotional regulation)

• 12-Step Work

• Self-Reflection Studies

• Skill & Resource Development

• Pharmacology

• Supporting Resources & Network Development

 

We also understand that mental health-related issues can arise with addiction, so we also address and provide treatment for:

• Depression

• Anxiety

• Anger Management

• Stress Management

 

Why Choose Clinic 77’s Outpatient Addiction Treatment in Auckland

 

What sets our outpatient drinking rehab apart is the team behind the programme and how we deliver it. Here’s what you get when you choose Clinic 77:

• Clinicians With Lived Experience: Our clinicians are fully qualified, and also in recovery themselves. That mix of clinical training and personal understanding means clients feel met, not lectured.

• A Multidisciplinary Team Meets Weekly: We pool perspectives from different evidence-based approaches to review each client’s plan, progress, and barriers, so your treatment is completely tailored.

• Creative, Experiential Methods: Alongside traditional talk therapy, we use art therapy, sandtray work, and psychodrama to help clients access what words alone can’t reach.

• Trauma-Informed Care: Addiction rarely sits on its own. We work with the underlying trauma, anxiety, and depression that often drive substance use.

• Flexibility That Fits Real Life: Sessions spread across the week mean you can keep working and caring for family while you do the work.

• Aftercare and Open-Door Policy: Clients can come back for support whenever they need it. The length of treatment depends on the client’s goals and healing journey (which can differ for each person).

 

Who Our Comprehensive Outpatient Programme in NZ Suits Best

 

Outpatient treatment isn’t right for everyone, and we’d rather be honest about that upfront. Our comprehensive outpatient programme in NZ is best suited to people who:

• Have stable housing and a safe home environment to return to each evening.

• Want to keep working, studying or caring for family while in treatment.

• Are searching for “alcohol outpatient near me” but want something more structured than weekly counselling sessions.

• Have completed an inpatient programme and need further support as you transition back into your community.

• Are managing an alcohol relapse or addiction relapse and need to get back on track quickly.

• Live or work in Auckland or the wider Waikato region and need treatment that fits around a busy schedule.

 

If your situation is more acute (for example, you need medical detox or 24/7 supervision), an inpatient programme is usually the safer starting point. We’re happy to talk through which option fits best when you call.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

How is outpatient rehab different from inpatient programmes?

The biggest difference is where you live during treatment. With an inpatient programme, you stay onsite in a structured therapeutic community, typically for 4 to 8 weeks (our clinical team may advise a longer stay for a dual diagnosis). With outpatient rehab, you live at home and attend sessions a couple of days a week.

Inpatient suits people who need a full reset away from triggers, daily stressors, or unstable environments. Outpatient suits people who can stay safe at home and want to keep working while they recover. Both are evidence-based; the right choice depends on the severity of use, home environment, and personal commitments.

 

What happens if I have an addiction relapse during or after the programme?

An alcohol relapse or drug relapse isn’t treated as failure here. It’s treated as information. If a relapse happens during the programme, we work with you to understand what triggered it, and adjust your plan, rather than removing you from treatment.

After the programme, our open-door policy means you can come back for one-on-one sessions, group work, or aftercare any time. Most sustained recoveries include at least one slip somewhere along the way; what matters is how quickly you get support and learn from it.

 

Can I do the outpatient programme entirely online?

We’re one of the only providers in New Zealand offering a comprehensive online outpatient rehab that mirrors the in-person experience, including individual therapy and group work. You can choose fully online, or as a blend of online and in-person sessions if you live in Auckland or the Waikato.

This is particularly useful for clients in rural areas, those with demanding work schedules, or anyone who wants privacy while doing the work.
