What Is Outpatient Addiction Treatment?
Outpatient drug and alcohol rehab is a type of substance use disorder treatment in which patients attend a program during the day while continuing to live at home.1
Outpatient treatment programs may be appropriate for someone who does not require 24-hour care, or who is transitioning out of a more intensive level of addiction treatment.
Substance use disorder is a chronic disease that is treatable with the right care and support.2
During outpatient treatment programs, patients attend program sessions that vary in format and purpose. Some sessions may involve group or individual therapy to address negative behavior and thought patterns.
Others may be focused on certain skills training such as setting boundaries in relationships. Still others may be classes designed to educate participants about the disease of addiction and drugs.
At our outpatient drug and alcohol rehab program in Hollywood, FL, near Miami, addiction treatment methods may include:
- Motivational interviewing.
- Pain management therapy.
- Spirituality and faith-based therapy.
- Anger management therapy.
What Other Types of Treatment Exist?
Our drug and alcohol rehab facility offers all levels of addiction treatment, including our medical detox program in Hollywood, FL at our inpatient rehab facility in Hollywood, FL. Here, an individual will receive round-the-clock medical care to help successfully detox off drugs.
Depending on the severity of the addiction and other co-occurring mental health disorders, some individuals may benefit from a more intensive program.1,3
Types of Outpatient Addiction Treatment Programs
To meet the needs of each individual patient, Recovery First provides the following levels of outpatient care at our rehab facility near Miami, FL:
- Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) – A partial hospitalization program for addiction is an outpatient offering that is similar in intensity to the care and services offered in inpatient treatment programs.3 The PHP occurs from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and takes place 5 days a week. This clinical program includes individual and group therapy along with skills training for successful recovery.
- Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) – During intensive outpatient addiction rehab, patients participate in individual and group therapy to address underlying behavioral issues.1 Our intensive outpatient rehab program is offered Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and may be attended 3-5 days a week.
It is very common for individuals to “step down” through the different levels of outpatient addiction treatment as their treatment needs transition from intensive treatment to disease management and aftercare.1
What’s the Difference Between Inpatient and Outpatient Addiction Treatment?
The difference between inpatient and outpatient addiction treatment is that inpatient addiction rehab requires patients to stay at the facility 24/7 whereas outpatient treatment does not require the patient to stay at the facility.
Outpatient rehab usually involves fewer hours of treatment and is less intensive overall when compared with inpatient treatment. Because outpatient treatment does not involve room and board, it tends to be more affordable than inpatient treatment.
Our outpatient rehab program near Miami, FL can be a good option for individuals seeking treatment who have responsibilities at home that prevent them from being able to attend an inpatient treatment program.
Because patients live at home while attending treatment during the day, it is important that patients have the following three things: 4
- Supportive family and friends.
- A stable living environment.
- Reliable transportation.
Inpatient addiction treatment may be a better option for individuals who do not have safe and supportive home situations because it provides a stable setting for treatment and one that removes many of the environmental triggers to use.2,4
The clinical staff at our Hollywood, FL rehab facility help each individual determine the best treatment plan for them, which includes deciding between inpatient and outpatient treatment.
How Long Does Outpatient Drug & Alcohol Rehab Last?
The length of stay in an outpatient rehab program depends on each individual’s needs. Our Hollywood, FL rehab facility near Miami offers short-term rehab programs, month-long rehab programs, and long-term addiction treatment programs.
These options allow patients to stay as little or as long as they need to receive the care that’s right for them.
One of the benefits of having multiple levels of care within outpatient rehab is that individuals can transition between levels depending on what they need at the time.1
Does Health Insurance Cover Outpatient Drug & Alcohol Rehab?
Yes, most insurance plans cover outpatient drug and alcohol rehab in Florida. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) require insurance companies that provide mental health and substance use disorder benefits to provide it in equivalent amounts as medical or surgical benefits.5
Insurance coverage for addiction treatment varies by plan, and out-of-pocket costs will depend on the facility and whether it is in-network with your insurer.
