Regarding where to abuse substances, making informed choices is important for your well-being and recovery outcomes. But don’t let it put too much pressure on it. Remember that if you start rehabilitation in one program and feel incorrect, you can go to another program, for example, from outpatient to inpatient treatment.
Things to consider when making decisions between outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation:
- Do you have a mental health condition that occurs concurrently?
- Is your home environment safe?
- Do you have a reliable support network at home?
- Have you experienced relapses in the past?
- Is cost your factor?
- Does your insurance cover both options?
- Do you have a job, school, or family commitment that it is difficult to leave for a month or more?
- Can you get your own visit from your outpatient program?
- How long have you struggled with SUD?
- Do you suffer from multiple substance disorders, which means you are dependent or addicted to multiple substances?

What is outpatient treatment like?
Outpatient treatment can be provided at three levels of intensity: routine or low-intensity outpatient program (OP), intensive outpatient program (IOP), and partial inpatient program (PHP), which are available externally.
When you and your treatment team agree that outpatient treatment is best for you and you will feel confident and meet this level of care requirements, you will experience:
- Six hours (OP) to 25 hours (PHP) per week at the rehabilitation center
- While staying in touch with your family and friends, have the opportunity to meet the same thing
- You will work with your nursing team and your own calendar for a balance between treatment and work or school
- The opportunity to practice new sober skills in real time and the opportunity to discuss your treatment experience every day
- Peer support groups, individual therapy, group therapy and home therapy, just like you do in a hospitalized setting
- Risk of recurrence due to availability of alcohol and drugs outside the walls of the rehabilitation center
- You are familiar with, safe environments and people support you on the go
If you choose an outpatient program, you will have positive experiences, be able to work as hard as hospitalization and meet your sober benchmark.
What is hospitalization?
Hospitalized addiction treatment is the highest level of care you can get because you are surrounded by therapists, doctors and other addiction specialists 24 hours a day. Most procedures last 30 or 60 days, but can be performed for longer. If you are eligible for inpatient care and have the flexibility to spend the time you need, you will experience:
- Surrounded daytime or nighttime care
- Accountability partners throughout your stay – your peers also support your recovery
- No trigger and no substance settings make recurrence impossible
- Focus on your recovery therapy and self-care time
- Freedom of setting a schedule
Some people have a strong feeling about one option or another. Others are open to both and make decisions based on personal and practical considerations. Whichever option you choose, you will be treated with a licensed master clinician, learn sober skills, practice mindfulness and other holistic practices to support your recovery and be supported by your peers.
