Outpatient drug and alcohol treatment is the most flexible as the patient must only attend therapy for 9 to 12 hours a week. This is unlike inpatient programs where the patient must put other activities on hold to seek treatment. During therapy sessions, the patient continually receives support and education and is occasionally assessed to establish any progress.
The support received at an outpatient facility is a significant step that bridges the gap between inpatient treatment and returns to sober living. Most people prefer outpatient care because it offers the flexibility to continue with their studies or jobs. Outpatient treatment can be successful if the patient is committed to their sobriety and has a strong support system within the family unit.

Do I Need Outpatient Addiction Treatment
If you want to pursue treatment while attending to your responsibilities? Outpatient care is what you need. Before admission to an addiction treatment program, each patient is assessed to determine the kind of treatment they need. When deciding the suitable treatment program, the main factors are the drug of choice, duration of abuse, and severity of the addiction.
Depending on your work or school schedule, we will help fix a treatment program. Some things might make outpatient treatment suitable for you:
If you have already undergone inpatient treatment and are looking to strengthen your foundation on sobriety
If you have not misused substances over a long time
If you do not have a co-occurring mental issue
For outpatient drug and alcohol treatment to be successful, the patient must have undergone specific treatment before. If you have not gone through the detox and withdrawal process, it is better to opt for an inpatient program. In an outpatient setting, the patient is exposed to so many triggers, leading to relapse.
For some people, outpatient care works perfectly due to family support. Through family therapy sessions, the loved ones are taught how to care for the patient and support them to allow them to heal.
