Outpatient

Outpatient rehabs allow clients to remain in or return to their home and community while receiving treatment. These programs are for clients leaving inpatient care and for those wishing to return home immediately following detox. Most outpatient programs offer multiple levels of care to evolve with clients’ needs, including programming such as partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) care. The most common outpatient treatment modalities include psychotherapy, recovery education, holistic and integrative care, and medication assisted treatment (MAT).

Medically Assisted Detox

The safest way to rid your body of addictive drugs and/or alcohol is a medically assisted detox, which is typically held in an inpatient setting while under 24/7 medical supervision. Abruptly quitting alcohol and certain drugs (like benzodiazepines or opioids) can cause dangerous side effects, so a team of medical professionals is tasked with keeping you as safe and comfortable as possible throughout the process. After your body is detoxed of all alcohol and drugs, you’ll likely transition to an inpatient treatment or maintenance program for the next stage of your recovery.

Intensive Outpatient

Clients undergoing treatment in an intensive outpatient program (IOP) typically are those who are leaving inpatient rehab or who have elected to forgo residential care following detox. Clients engage in at least nine hours of treatment weekly, on average, but may receive up to 20 hours of care, with the frequency and intensity of treatment decreasing as clients stabilize. Intensive outpatient treatment often combines psychotherapy, recovery education, holistic care, and medication assisted treatment (MAT).

12-Step

Persons engaged in 12 step programs receive ongoing and intensive peer support while cultivating spiritual, emotional, and psychological practices to facilitate recovery. Regular attendance at 12 step meetings, which are anonymous, free, and accessible both online and in most communities, is expected. Early in their recovery, participants select a sponsor to mentor them in their recovery. Religious affiliation is not required, but faith-based and other specialized formats are available.

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Group Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

Individual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Life Skills

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Trauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
