Outpatient Alcohol Program

If you are thinking of treatment for a drug or alcohol abuse issue, you may want to know more about an Outpatient Treatment option. It can help you get therapy and counseling while you are living away from the facility, most likely at home. We offer this option because it is more convenient for those with families or who are working and cannot take time off.

What Are the Levels of Care?

There are several levels of care that begin from the moment you check into a rehab facility. These include:
• Residential treatment and detox
• Outpatient- OP
• Intensive Outpatient – IOP
• After care

What is the Difference Between Residential and Outpatient Care?

In a residential program, called Inpatient rehab, the patient stays at the facility; it may be more costly but has a higher success rate. The program can last from 28 days to six months. Detox is part of this program, and medical attention is available 24/7. On the other hand, there is Outpatient Rehab and treatment. Detox can be done while you’re in an outpatient program, if the withdrawal symptoms are mild to moderate. Withdrawal from drugs usually lasts about 5 to 6 days. Clients undergoing outpatient rehab detox must visit a rehab facility or hospital for checks while they are undergoing this detox. They must be available to physicians if medicine is needed. Some facilities may be registered to provide only one type of care, so be sure to check that they have an outpatient option.
