Choosing Between an Outpatient and Inpatient Rehab

Selecting the right care for yourself or your loved one suffering from substance abuse means taking a lot at various types of care available such as:

Residential Treatment: Inpatient treatment provides 24-hour care for a person with substance use disorder. This type of treatment ensures individual and group counseling, evidence-based treatment, and holistic care in a safe environment. A person remains here for the duration of their treatment.

Outpatient Treatment: Intensive outpatient treatment allows a person to receive the therapy he or she needs most days of the week, but allows the person to go home in the evenings. This type of care is best for people with a safe environment who are stable enough to work and remain safe. Different levels of care are available.

How Long Can Treatment at a Rehab Last?

The amount of treatment a person needs depends on their drug addiction severity, the type of drug use they’ve done, and the amount of impact it’s had on his or her life. Most of the time:

  • Residential treatment lasts from 6 weeks to 6 months, with an average of 90 days.
  • Intensive outpatient treatment can last six months or longer.
  • Traditional outpatient, which requires less time each week in therapy, may continue indefinitely.

What to Expect at Rehab

During drug and alcohol rehab, a person will experience a range of treatment options, including:

  • Medications to stop cravings and withdrawal symptoms and to aid in no longer being chemically dependent on the drugs
  • Therapy in the form of individual and group therapy, using evidence-based methods of treatment such as cognitive-behavioral treatment and holistic treatment
  • Co-occurring disorder treatment for those who have both a substance use disorder and mental health illness

When Would You Need to Go to Detox?

Detox is best for those who:

  • Cannot stop using on their own due to a chemical dependency
  • Individuals who have moderate to severe withdrawal symptoms
  • Those at risk for overdose

Detox is often recommended by a patient’s doctor or therapist after a full exam. Individuals who do not get detox and need it are at a higher level of relapsing.

How Long is Detox?

The length of detox depends on the severity of the drug addiction and the type of drug. It can range from three days to 21 days with various degrees of care and treatment. A person’s overall health and mental wellbeing are also factors.
