Please see the schedule below. Our program is limited in the number of participants we can accomodate at any given time. Therefore, if you are scheduled but do not attend, nor call to cancel for three consecutive appointments, it will be necessary to release you as a participant. So, be sure to call us if you need to cancel. For the Outpatient Program most insurance companies pay for some or all of the program cost.
