OUTPATIENT INTERNSHIP

About the Role:

It is hoped that interns, having benefited from their experiences at Arbour, will move on to positions within and outside of Arbour in which they will provide meaningful and quality care to persons in need.

Our Outpatient counseling allows our patients to receive treatment options and support within a much more free and open time schedule. While programs are structured, our outpatient counseling is best for those stepping down from a higher level of care, seeking limited treatment options or testing out treatment for the first time.
