Do I have to be ready to quit completely before starting therapy?
No. Many people start while still ambivalent. Approaches like Motivational Interviewing meet you where you are, and some providers support harm-reduction goals, not just abstinence. The hardest step is the first one — reaching out.
What's the difference between therapy and rehab for addiction?
Rehab (residential or intensive outpatient) is structured, higher-intensity care for more severe substance use; outpatient therapy is weekly support you can fit around work and family. Many people use outpatient therapy as a step-down from rehab or as standalone care for mild to moderate use.
Does Oregon's OHP cover substance use and addiction treatment?
Yes — substance use treatment is a covered behavioral health benefit under the Oregon Health Plan and most commercial plans, often without prior authorization for outpatient care. Filter this directory for OHP or your insurance to find providers.
