What is Outpatient Rehab?
Outpatient rehab programs are a flexible way for clients to take part in addiction treatment without leaving their home city. Outpatient programs vary in size and duration based on a client’s needs. Clients visit clinics or hospitals during the day and return home at night to sleep. There are two main types of outpatient programs: intensive outpatient (IOP) and partial hospitalization (PHP). Both programs enable clients to balance work, school, and home life with rehab.
Benefits of Outpatient Rehab Programs
For many people, outpatient programs offer just the right amount of addiction recovery and mental health support. Outpatient programs offer a wealth of benefits, including:
- Affordability: Many IPO and PHP programs cost significantly less than residential rehab.
- Insurance benefits: Insurance may cover more outpatient programs costs than inpatient programs.
- Flexibility without leaving home: Outpatient programs provide support without uprooting your life.
- Short-term intensive treatment: PHP and IPO programs often take less time to complete while offering a range of aftercare resources such as alumni programs.
- Perfect transition programs: Outpatient programs are a great way to transition from inpatient programs to home life for those who need extra support.
