American Society of Addiction Medicine Level 2.1, Intensive Outpatient Services, differs for Level 1 Care in that it is more Intensive, Restrictive, and with more stringent Accountability.

Dimensions of Readiness for Change, Risk-Relapse Potential, and Living Environment dictate that without an increased level of external control, the patient is not likely to be capable of not using illicit substances.

Nonetheless, the goal remains encouragement of change from within, with outside help being supportive in nature.
