Outpatient Treatment

Our Program Can Be As Little As 30 Days And Up To 365 Days

It is estimated that 60% of people who have been treated for addiction will relapse once they leave rehab. The stress of resuming work, family reintegration, and familiar locations can all be significant risk factors for addicts in early recovery.

Intensive outpatient rehabs can be a regular standard to remain engaged and focused on recovery during this period. Clients are continuously learning effective coping mechanisms to achieve recovery. They have the opportunity to start applying these skills as they begin to function in their day-to-day lives.

When selecting the advantages of one treatment approach, the individual’s needs, resources, and the likelihood of success must be taken into consideration.

Benefits of outpatient treatment include:

Outpatient (OP) Care is the aftercare that clients attend when they have completed the program at Healthy Life Recovery. Every OP treatment plan is specific to the client’s needs and personal schedule. Clients have the option to continue with group therapy 1-3 days a week with ongoing individual therapy and case management sessions. Clients also have the opportunity for ongoing medical and psychiatric appointments when attending outpatient aftercare. 

Schedule

Intensive outpatient programs will typically meet during the weekdays. Many treatment facilities offer daytime, as well as evening programs, that require sessions lasting for a few hours. During the scheduled meeting time, patients will meet with groups and have breaks in between each session.

Common types of group sessions for an IOP include:

Therapy

The therapies used in IOP include:

Drug Testing

The goal of drug tests is not necessarily to “catch” them in the act of using. More so to reassure that participants are adhering to the program’s rules. It is also important to protect other participating members from substance use. If someone is using, it could be a sign that the individual may need a higher level of treatment. 

Inpatient treatment is a more extensive approach to addiction treatment. Also known as residential care, inpatient treatment provides around-the-clock care by medical professionals in a non-hospital setting. It does not possess the same flexibility as an outpatient treatment program.

People who will more likely benefit from an inpatient program are not mentally strong enough to resist negative influences. Additionally, an individual who does not have a reliable support system in their home environment would also be a good candidate. The choice ultimately comes down to the patient’s situation and should be a joint decision with an addiction specialist.
