Choosing Between an Outpatient and Inpatient Rehab in Massachusetts

It is very important to make the right decision on what type of rehab to attend in Massachusetts. Many options, including both outpatient and inpatient treatment, exist for people who suffer from addiction. Inpatient treatment is more rigorous than outpatient. In inpatient care, you receive full-time care from a dedicated staff of addiction specialists and caretakers.

Outpatient treatment is different because people in this type of rehab can continue working and living relatively normal lives while they get treatment. During outpatient care, you receive treatment mainly in the form of therapy and group sessions. 

How Long Can Treatment at a Rehab Last in Massachusetts?

In Massachusetts, treatment lengths for inpatient rehab vary greatly. Many treatment centers offer programs in 30-day, 60-day, and 90-day lengths. However, plenty of inpatient treatment programs last as long as 6 months to a year. The length of the program that you choose will depend on your budget and schedule, and how severe your substance abuse disorder is.

Because the main goal of inpatient care is to get you to a place where you can transition to a lower level of treatment, the length of your time in this phase should mainly depend on the progress you have made. 

What to Expect at Rehab in Massachusetts

A rehab center is a place where you will be completely immersed in the recovery lifestyle. You are likely to be required to follow a strict routine and schedule, which may consist of therapy sessions, group meetings, and supportive activities like exercise and meditation. In some cases, patients are given medication to assist their recovery.

Everyone’s experience in rehab is unique because each individual has different needs for their recovery. In rehab, you remove yourself from the environment that was triggering your substance abuse and learn to live sober again.

When Would You Need to Go to Detox in Massachusetts?

Detox in Massachusetts is designed for people who have been recently using drugs or alcohol. This is often referred to as the ‘first phase’ of substance abuse treatment. Anyone who is facing withdrawal from drugs or alcohol, or who still has these substances in their system, needs detox.

During detox, you will be monitored 24/7 by a professional care team. They will manage your withdrawal systems and help you to stay safe and comfortable while your body removes the drugs and alcohol from its system. After detox, you will likely transition to inpatient care.

How Long is Detox in Massachusetts?

Generally, detox lasts between 3 and 10 days. Usually, the patient does not enter detox for a specified amount of time. They are simply transitioned to the next phase of treatment once their body has cleansed itself and they are stable enough to do so. 

The length of time in detox depends mostly on how long withdrawal lasts. Some factors that can affect this include the specifics of the person’s substance abuse including what was being abused, how heavily, and for how long. Additionally, a person’s age, weight, and gender play a role in the length of detox.
