“Where can I find high-quality outpatient treatment near me?” This is a question that comes up a lot in our community. Outpatient treatment can be incredibly beneficial, both for mental health and substance use disorders. At Sun Behavioral Delaware, we provide outpatient treatment led by a compassionate, expert staff. Outpatient treatment is different from psychiatric, depression or anxiety treatment.
