Addiction treatment is a multi-pronged approach to helping people reclaim their lives after heavy and prolonged drug or alcohol use. By participating in professional addiction treatment, patients can identify the underlying causes of their addictions.
Addiction treatment is offered in many forms. For people needing constant, around-the-clock monitoring and support, inpatient addiction treatment offers the benefit of a secure, closed-campus environment. With inpatient addiction treatment, patients are given an extended break from the temptations, stressors, and other triggers of the outside world. They can place their entire focus on getting well, and they have constant access to medical support, mental health professionals, rehab counselors, and other onsite staff. Outpatient addiction treatment takes a more self-managed approach to recovery. People who enroll in outpatient programs must commit to spending between 12 and 35 hours each week actively participating in addiction treatment programs and therapies. In their remaining free time, they can continue going to work or school, and they can continue spending time with their loved ones. The best option in addiction treatment can be different for each person and at each stage of the recovery process. As such, people also have access to partial hospitalization programs, relapse prevention programs, and a diverse range of support groups and other options in ongoing addiction treatment support.
