What is Outpatient Treatment?

Outpatient treatment provides care for people with substance use disorders who do not require 24/7 supervision or inpatient detox and addiction treatment.

Outpatient programs provide addiction services and treatment while allowing you to live at home and remain in your community. Outpatient rehab offers an increased duration of care tailored to the patient’s needs, as well as the ability to practice new behaviors while remaining at home or in a sober living facility.

Benefits of Outpatient Rehab

Outpatient rehab offers many benefits that make it an attractive option for treating substance use disorders. The combination of affordability, flexibility, and sustained support makes outpatient addiction treatment an essential component in the continuum of addiction treatment services.

Lower Costs

One of the biggest benefits of outpatient treatment is the lower rehab cost compared to inpatient treatment programs. Outpatient care allows you to continue living at home instead of checking into a facility, so you eliminate room and board costs. Outpatient treatment is typically covered by more insurance plans as well. The lower price point makes rehab more accessible for many people.

Flexibility

Outpatient rehab offers much more flexibility than inpatient care. Patients can continue to work, go to school, and fulfill other responsibilities. Outpatient facilities allow patients to set their own schedules and attend sessions in the evenings or on weekends. This flexibility helps individuals maintain their regular routines.

Sober Environment

While remaining at home, patients in outpatient rehab can reside in a structured sober living home. These transitional houses provide a substance-free environment with peer support. Living in sober housing reinforces the lessons learned in outpatient treatment, as patients learn to avoid triggers and build community with others in recovery.

Continued Support

Outpatient rehab can serve as a stepping stone from inpatient treatment to regular life, offering an “in-between” level of care.  The continuing care and community of outpatient treatment help sustain recovery gains.

Types of Outpatient Treatment Programs

We offer different types of treatment, including partial hospitalization programs, intensive outpatient programs, and standard outpatient programs.

Partial Hospitalization Program

Our partial hospitalization programs (PHPs) provide the most intensive level of outpatient care. Patients attend structured programming five to seven days a week for six to eight hours per day.

Our partial hospitalization programs involve individual therapy and group therapy, medication management, family counseling, and other services. This comprehensive care allows patients to transition from inpatient treatment back into the community.

Intensive Outpatient Programs

Intensive outpatient programs have emerged as a critical facet of 21st century addiction treatment for people who need a more intensive level of service than usual outpatient treatment, and they allow participants to avoid or step down successfully from inpatient services. (McCarty, et al.)

Intensive outpatient programs (IOPs) consist of nine or more hours of clinical services each week. They are commonly used as a step-down from residential rehab or partial hospitalization programs. 

Services include group counseling, individual therapy, family therapy, and medication management. Intensive outpatient treatment at our drug and alcohol rehab aims to help you develop relapse prevention skills and coping strategies.

Standard Outpatient Treatment Programs

Standard outpatient treatment consists of one or two therapy sessions per week on an ongoing basis. These are ideal addiction treatments for people seeking low-need support, as they are less intensive than IOPs or PHPs. During these programs, our addiction specialists help maintain motivation and teach techniques to prevent relapse during long-term recovery.

To get the full benefits of outpatient treatment, you should attend treatment at an outpatient rehab facility 3 to 5 days per week for several hours each day.

The frequency of outpatient treatment depends on the severity of addiction and structure needed for recovery. If needed, you can attend day programs, a type of intensive outpatient full day treatments for addiction recovery that provides structure and support similar to inpatient rehab, while allowing the client to return home each evening.

How Long Does Outpatient Treatment Last?

Outpatient treatment typically lasts one to three months. It allows for a longer duration of care compared to inpatient rehab. The length of outpatient rehab depends on the patient’s needs and response to treatment.

What is Included in a Typical Day Treatment Plan?

A day of outpatient treatment includes group counseling, individual therapy, family therapy sessions, medication management, and educational groups. Patients receive clinical therapy and skills training to support recovery. Drug testing and case management services may also be part of an outpatient treatment day.

Alcohol Detox

Outpatient alcohol detox is a type of alcohol abuse treatment where the patient doesn’t stay at a facility but attends appointments. It consists of receiving holistic detox or medically assisted treatment at a rehab center while treating alcoholism. The patient undergoes detox at home or in a sober living environment.

A study on outpatient treatment during alcohol detox cites that “outpatient treatment of the alcohol withdrawal syndrome is effective for certain alcoholics.” Outpatient detox is less expensive and time-consuming than inpatient detox, and it allows patients to maintain their daily routine and social relationships.

Still, there are some risks associated with outpatient alcohol detox, including easy access to alcohol, a higher risk of missed appointments, a higher risk of abusing alcoholism treatment medications, and a higher risk of relapse. Outpatient detox from alcohol is not appropriate for all patients, particularly those at risk of life-threatening complications or with co-occurring medical conditions.

Drug Detox

Outpatient drug detox is a type of treatment where drug abusers do not stay at a facility but attend appointments at a treatment center to receive medical support and manage their withdrawal symptoms.

The patient undergoes detox while continuing to live at home or in a sober living environment. Outpatient detox is recommended for those who have mild to moderate signs of addiction, don’t require a high level of care, have a supportive home environment, and are at low risk of medical complications during detox.

If you have tried to leave drug abuse behind or the substance abused poses the risk of causing life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, it’s better to opt for inpatient detox at our drug and alcohol detox center with 24/7 around the clock care.

Alcohol Addiction Treatment

Outpatient alcohol rehab at Ardu offers more flexibility than inpatient care and allows you to continue living at home while receiving treatment for alcohol addiction. This option can be more convenient and less expensive than our intensive outpatient programs and partial hospitalization programs. We provide structured treatment during the day, while sober living arrangements provide a supportive environment away from rehab. 

Drug Addiction Treatment

Outpatient drug rehab provides addiction treatment services to patients who live at home and continue with work or school. Our outpatient drug addiction programs offer levels of care from intensive day treatment to weekly therapy sessions. Our services include individual counseling, group therapy, family therapy, medication management, and recovery skills training.

Outpatient drug addiction treatment allows patients to maintain their regular responsibilities while getting treatment for substance abuse issues. It provides a cost-effective option that increases accessibility to drug addiction services and helps patients develop relapse prevention techniques and achieve lasting recovery skills within their community.

Addiction services we offer at our drug treatment center include:

Co-Occurring Disorder Treatment

Substance use and mental illness often go hand in hand. Our outpatient programs address co-occurring mental and substance use disorders.

People with addiction often have preexisting or resulting mental health conditions like bipolar disorder, anxiety disorder, and eating disorders. They may use substances to cope with mental health symptoms, but substance abuse can also worsen mental illness.

Co-occurring disorders require integrated treatment for both addiction and mental health counseling.

We provide specific treatment through therapy and medication management for substance use disorder and serious mental illness together. Our specialists provide addiction counseling alongside mental health treatment to empower you into a brighter future.

Our dual diagnosis center can provide mental health and substance use disorder treatment concurrently, allowing you to get coordinated care for any intertwined substance use and mental health issues.

Inpatient vs. Outpatient Treatment

Deciding between outpatient and inpatient treatment can be confusing. We’re here to guide you in identifying which option may be the best fit for your needs and situation.

Our personalized outpatient program allows you to continue living at home while receiving addiction treatment. We offer flexible scheduling—from intensive day treatment to just a few hours per week—to accommodate work and family responsibilities.

Recent research confirms that outpatient treatment improves patient outcomes similarly to inpatient rehab for many people. But residential treatment at an inpatient facility remains ideal for those with more severe addictions or co-occurring disorders.

Is Outpatient Care Right For You?

Here are a few key factors to help you discern if our outpatient program is right for you:

  • You feel ready to commit to recovery, but need flexibility to maintain work or care for family; our program allows this.
  • Your addiction, while disruptive, has not put your job, housing, or health in imminent danger; outpatient treatment could provide the boost you need to get back on track.
  • You have a supportive, stable living environment; inpatient treatment removes you from unhealthy environments during early recovery.
  • Your addiction does not involve risky withdrawal symptoms; we’ll ensure your detox is medically safe.
  • You don’t have major unaddressed mental health issues; we can coordinate care for mild to moderate mental health problems.

Is Inpatient Care Right For You?

If you relate more to the following, inpatient treatment may be a better fit:

  • You’ve relapsed despite outpatient treatment; the 24/7 support of inpatient could help you overcome obstacles.
  • You lack a safe, drug-free living environment; residential treatment removes triggers and disruption.
  • Your addiction has severely impacted your work, finances, physical health, or relationships; intensive rehab can help you rebuild your life.
  • You have a co-occurring disorder like trauma or serious mental illness; our inpatient program is better qualified to treat dual diagnoses.

Bottom line—there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to addiction treatment. In fact, it’s more important to get help than to spend too much time trying to figure out which treatment option is best.

According to the Treatment Improvement Protocol (TIP), “comparing inpatient with outpatient treatment is potentially counterproductive because the important question is not which level of care is better but, rather, which level of care is more appropriate at a given time for each client.”
