It can be very challenging to figure out the best type of treatment when you are ready to seek help for substance abuse or addiction. It is a vulnerable time, and there are so many factors to consider. There are many options and different types of programs, but how can you know which is best for your particular situation? Depending on your circumstances, you may be best served by an inpatient rehab, a detox program, an intensive outpatient program, or an outpatient rehab center. It can help to talk to an admissions counselor at a treatment center or even to do some research about whether or not an outpatient program is a good fit for your situation.
At TruHealing Centers, our outpatient rehab center programs provide the opportunity for people to begin their road to recovery. If you or someone you care about might benefit from this level of care, reach out to our team today by calling [Direct] or filling out our online contact form.
What Is an Outpatient Rehab Center?
Most people have a preconceived notion of rehab being like a hospital where people stay for weeks or months as they detox and receive therapy. Inpatient programs are common, though they are usually not as much like hospitals as people tend to imagine. Outpatient rehab center programs can vary. Some are intensive, requiring participants to attend for long periods each day. Others are more regarding how many hours each day or how many days a week a participant is expected to attend.
Some of the treatments and therapies that might be offered in an outpatient program include:
- One-on-one therapy with a licensed counselor
- Group therapy with peers
- Therapeutic exercises and activities such as art or music therapy
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
- Classes to help develop and reinforce life skills and healthy coping strategies
- Check-ins with medical staff about medications and health
Who Can Benefit from Outpatient Treatment?
Circumstances can be complex when seeking treatment for substance abuse or addiction. Clients looking for the right treatment program may have obligations to work, school, or family that might make them hesitant to choose an inpatient program. However, an inpatient rehab program might be best for someone with a severe addiction or someone who also has mental health struggles.
It is also important to consider treatment as a continuum. Many people start with a detox program and then transition into different treatment programs as they progress in their recovery journey. Addiction is a serious disease that, like other diseases, needs proper treatment and time to heal. Even if you start in one type of treatment program, you may find yourself changing to a different one based on your needs. Everyone’s recovery journey is unique.
Some of the people who might best benefit from outpatient treatment are those who:
- Have already completed more intensive programs like inpatient rehab or detox
- Are feeling ready to return to work or school part- or full-time
- Have families and loved ones are very supportive of their recovery
- Have already done significant work to improve their coping skills and strategies for recovery
