Whether a person chooses an inpatient or an outpatient drug treatment program, admitting they have a problem and need help is the most important step. Both types of treatment programs have their own unique set of benefits. Understanding which treatment is best for you will help to maintain your sobriety in the long run.
In cases of severe addiction, 24 hour care may be the best solution. However, for many struggling with addiction it’s not always the best solution. Outpatient care offers a more flexible solution for many people seeking treatment without disrupting their daily routine.
Maintain Your Privacy
For many addicts, admitting they have an issue is the hardest step. Some fear extended time at a treatment facility would open the door for ridicule from loved ones or colleagues. Outpatient programs allow patients to attend to their daily responsibilities without major scheduling changes associated with an inpatient program.
Minimize Disruptions in Your Daily Life
For those who have daily personal or employment obligations it is extremely difficult in most cases to attend an inpatient program. In many cases patients may help tend to an elderly family member or may be the head of the household. Outpatient recovery affords people the treatment they need with the flexibility they require in their daily lives.
Create a Support System
Through an outpatient program, patients are afforded the opportunity to create relationships with others in the community struggling with drug or alcohol addiction. Through these relationships patients are exposed to support systems throughout the community that they may not otherwise have known about. These support systems will be crucial to helping many maintain their sobriety after treatment.
