OVERVIEW

Outpatient Program at Creo Spero

Choosing the right drug treatment program can be difficult—especially if your addiction issues are not as severe as others. You may have a substance use issue, but you don’t require medical detox or intensive treatment. You also may not be able to make the substantial time and financial commitments that are required for residential and even intensive outpatient treatment. You may wonder if there is a type of treatment program that allows you to address your dependence issues and has the flexibility to enable you to continue to live at home.

Traditional outpatient programs do provide you with the quality care and flexibility to pursue recovery. We will take a deeper look into what traditional outpatient programs are, what they offer, and how they can benefit you in your recovery. Do you have questions on outpatient programs and if they may be a perfect fit for you? Call Cero Spero Recovery toll-free today and speak to one of our experienced treatment staff.

What is Outpatient Treatment?

In an outpatient drug rehab program, you attend drug and alcohol treatment sessions as well as support groups during the week during the day or nighttime hours, depending on your schedule. With outpatient treatment, you have the flexibility of attending to your work, family, and school obligations. The number of times you attend treatment sessions can vary depending on your specific needs. In some instances, you may need to attend outpatient rehab only once a week, or you may have to attend 3-4 times weekly for a total of a few hours during the week.

The length of time you need to come to an outpatient treatment program is also dependent on your situation. These programs can range anywhere from a week to a couple of months and even years. In general, outpatient treatment services can last anywhere between 3 to 9 months. This type of treatment is ideal for those not requiring medical detoxification or around-the-clock care and supervision. Another great feature of outpatient rehab programs is that they are designed to be a “step down “type of program with the frequency and duration of treatment gradually tapering as you progress in treatment.

What is Offered in Outpatient Addiction Treatment?

The programs and services and programs available in outpatient treatment are similar to those found in IOP’s and residential treatment. However, these programs are structured to meet your needs and schedule. A cornerstone of outpatient treatment is therapy. Therapy is done individually, in small groups, and in family settings. The types of therapy you may find in an outpatient addiction rehab program may include:

• Cognitive-behavioral therapy

• Dialectical behavioral therapy

• Family therapy

• Motivational interviewing

Another common feature of these programs are 12-Step support groups such as AA and NA. 12-step and similar self-help support groups will help you build a foundation of recovery and support with others who are sharing your same journey.

An important part of outpatient drug treatment is the focus on relapse prevention. In order for you to fully understand the mechanisms behind relapse and ways to prevent relapse from occurring in recovery, these programs focus on the following:

Learning about triggers—the triggers that make you vulnerable to relapse include the environmental, social, and psychological factors that can lead to relapse.
Coping with stressors—when you complete outpatient drug treatment, you will be faced with situations and events you have not dealt with as a person who is clean and sober. Events like obtaining employment, attending a social function, or moving to a new place of residence can trigger overwhelming emotions, which may cause cravings and thoughts of using. Outpatient programs provide counseling and support to make it through these moments.
Thinking through outcomes—relapse prevention plans in outpatient drug treatment programs can teach you to think through and evaluate the potential outcomes of relapse.

Keeping minor slips from turning into relapse—Outpatient drug and alcohol treatment programs also address ways to get back into working a program of recovery when lapses occur. The main point of emphasis is that having a minor slip doesn’t mean total failure and that recovery is still possible provided the individual is proactive in getting back to working their program and seeks support.

The Benefits of Outpatient Drug Treatment Programs

Outpatient drug rehab programs will provide you with several tremendous benefits that will give you the best chance at long-term recovery. These benefits are as follows:

FLEXIBLE SCHEDULE

Perhaps the biggest benefit of outpatient rehab is the ability to attend day or nighttime treatment sessions depending on your work, family, or school schedule. You can control how often you attend treatment sessions and when you go to these sessions. This allows you to customize your treatment experience to meet your needs.

PRIVACY

Outpatient treatment safeguards your privacy. The majority of your treatment sessions are done on a one-on-one basis. You will meet with psychiatrists, counselors, and other treatment professionals that value confidentiality.

APPLY WHAT YOU LEARN IN REAL TIME

Another benefit of outpatient programs is that you can apply the coping skills and relapse prevention techniques learned in treatment in your daily life. You will be better able to refine and build these skills and become confident in your recovery journey.

COSTS

A great benefit of outpatient treatment is cost. This type of treatment is most affordable, and insurance companies are more flexible in covering outpatient treatment costs.

ARE THERE

DRAWBACKS TO OUTPATIENT TREATMENT?

While a traditional outpatient treatment program can provide you immense benefits in your recovery, there are some disadvantages that you need to keep in mind before making that commitment. First, outpatient treatment will not be a good option for you if you don’t have the support of family and friends. Another drawback to outpatient treatment is the possibility of experiencing distractions at home and work that can take focus away from treatment. While you have access to counseling and therapists in outpatient treatment, you don’t have that immediate contact as you would in a residential drug treatment. Since you don’t spend as much time with others in an intensive outpatient program, it is more challenging to build a solid sober support network needed to help maintain your recovery.
