Hello,

Do any outpatient or intensive outpatient providers incorporate recreational activities into their Outpatient or Intensive Outpatient programming? If so, is liability an issue or concern? Also, do you cover all the costs or do the patients have to pay all or a portion of the activity cost?

Thanks for any ingisht you can lend.
