What's Different About Residential and Outpatient Rehabilitation?
Seeking treatment for substance abuse problems is no small decision. Outpatient substance abuse treatment costs less than residential rehab, but it also places more of the burden of recovery directly on the individual. You'll have to take it upon yourself to remove drugs, alcohol, and the situations, people and things that tempt you to abuse substances from your life. You'll need:
- Motivation to go to your meetings and sessions
- Family support
- A network of friends supporting your recovery
- Stable work and living circumstances
Residential rehabilitation programs require you to stay in a treatment facility, often for several weeks. While this can be a huge interruption to your daily affairs, residential treatment offers benefits, such as:
- Intensive therapy
- Medical attention
- Psychiatric help
- A new environment
- Freedom from the temptation to use
Relapse is common among recovering addicts, so many people combine the two methods for the best chance at long-term recovery. Outpatient treatment can keep you on the right track after you exit a residential treatment program.
Therapeutic Communities
Therapeutic communities are long-term residential rehabilitation programs for people with serious substance abuse problems. Patients in these residential programs may have experienced multiple relapses.
Therapeutic communities help patients meet educational goals, learn work skills, and improve their social functioning skills so they can be better prepared to lead a substance-free life.
