The second outpatient program offered at Casa De Las Amigas is known as the outpatient treatment program. The outpatient treatment program is a step down the ladder from the day treatment program.

First, each woman must meet a with an alcohol and/or drug abuse counselor for an individual session each month. Next, women meet once a week for small 10-women support group meetings. Finally, women who are part of the outpatient treatment program must also attend 12-step meetings. Women are also alcohol and drug tested regularly on a random basis.

Even after becoming fully competent and reintegrating themselves back to their lives before addiction, Casa still shows support to those women by offering an aftercare
