What Is Outpatient Addiction Treatment?

Our Cherry Hill rehab center offers various levels of addiction treatment for those looking to recover from their substance use disorders. All of our programs are designed based on the needs of our patients to ensure they receive the care needed to achieve and sustain long-term recovery. Included in our various levels of care is our outpatient treatment program. Outpatient addiction services are the least intensive treatment we offer and are best suited for helping recovering clients better adjust to their new sober lives. Below is more on our outpatient drug rehab center and what it has to offer.

What Is Outpatient Addiction Treatment?

Outpatient drug and alcohol treatment is the least intensive level of substance abuse care available for treating addictions as well as mental health disorders. Unlike our IOP and PHP treatments, our outpatient addiction services are focused on helping clients sustain their sobriety rather than reach sobriety. 

Our outpatient programs require fewer session hours and time at our Legacy Healing Center locations, allowing our patients to spend more time on school, their careers, and their families. Outpatient programs for addiction also serve as excellent transitional forms of care, helping clients as they switch back into their day-to-day lives after they’ve left rehab. 

Deciding which form of substance abuse treatment is right for you depends on where you are in your recovery, whether you’re medically stable, and if you’ve undergone previous treatment, such as medically monitored detox or inpatient care. For instance, individuals who have not yet undergone drug or alcohol detox would benefit from starting with our PHP or residential program rather than outpatient treatment. 

Additionally, our NJ outpatient drug rehab understands that no two people are the same. This means what works for one person may not work for the other, especially when it comes to treating addiction. To determine the best treatment plan for clients, our specialists and medical team conduct a clinical assessment to determine the severity of the individual’s addiction, how long they’ve abused drugs or alcohol, their physical health, whether they have a support system at home, any underlying mental health disorders, and other factors that need to be addressed to create a proper treatment plan.

What Are the Benefits of Outpatient Rehab?

There are several reasons someone may choose outpatient rehab over inpatient rehab. Below are some benefits of outpatient addiction treatment and how it could help you:

• – Maintaining Employment: Some outpatient rehabs operate in the evenings or off hours so patients can maintain normal work hours while receiving treatment. While a leave of absence to receive drug or alcohol treatment is typically protected by the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), some people may still not want to leave work for a variety of reasons, mainly because FMLA prevents people from getting fired, but the time off is unpaid. This can pose problems for people who make the majority or all of the money for the home.
• – Family Focus: Not only can family therapy be offered in outpatient treatment to help foster healthy and positive relationships in clients’ lives, but the scheduling and flexibility of the program also allow clients to spend more time with their loved ones. In the end, this can lead to healthier relationships and a strong support system at home.
• – Lower Costs: The cost of inpatient and outpatient addiction services vary depending on the amount of care the person is receiving. For instance, the individual may require medical care before receiving treatment for addiction, such as drug or alcohol detox. However, this may be covered by insurance. Outpatient services vary in cost depending on the facility, location, duration of treatment, and other factors, but they’re usually the least expensive option.

Our Cherry Hill Outpatient Drug Rehab

Legacy Healing Center Cherry Hill offers a structured outpatient addiction program where patients can utilize our individual and group therapy options as a means of overcoming their drug use disorders and sustaining sobriety. Addiction is known as a relapsing disease, meaning that while sobriety can be achieved at one point in a person’s life, the risk of falling back into old habits is always there. 

Consequently, our outpatient drug rehab center is best suited for individuals looking to continue in their recovery and revisit relapse prevention techniques to help them learn what it means to live a sober lifestyle. As we previously mentioned, our country-wide rehab facilities offer outpatient addiction services as well as inpatient options that are personalized to each individual’s needs, no matter the severity of their drug or alcohol use disorder.
