Infographic: Major Plus Points of Outpatient Addiction Treatment

An outpatient rehab facility allows clients to live at home and participate in treatment at an outpatient center during the daytime.

It also gives clients more flexibility in treatment, giving them the opportunity to keep up with their official work and also day-to-day responsibilities at home.

Those just beginning outpatient care may need daily sessions with a therapist or clinical staff, while those further along in recovery or with less severe addictions may be successful with part-time sessions once or twice per week.

One of the major benefits of outpatient addiction treatment is that it ensures smooth recovery as it provides continuum of care i.e, a patient is guided and tracked over time through a comprehensive array of health services spanning all levels and intensity of care.

Also, a patient under drug abuse treatment might not always prefer recovery meetings. Under IOP, one is provided with the option to choose from various recovery groups.
