With so many different treatment options in Cope to decide on it can be difficult deciding which one would be best for yourself or a loved one. If you can't afford or commit to residential or inpatient treatment there are outpatient alternatives that are more intense than regular outpatient care, such as outpatient day treatment that is also at times referred to as partial hospitalization. The most apparent difference is that clients do not stay at the facility like in inpatient, and head home after rehab each night. Outpatient day treatment or partial hospitalization typically consists of treatment services being delivered at least five days per week, for up to 8 hours per day. Apart from this option being used as a primary rehab option, outpatient day treatment or partial hospitalization can also help people who have completed inpatient rehab transition back into a drug and alcohol free way of life.
Rehabilitation services include standard rehabilitation services such as individual counseling and group therapy, but there are also relapse prevention services in place in most cases such as support groups which are known to help prevent bad behaviors and inspire people to remain sober and get treatment. For individuals having trouble with a co-occurring mental health disorder, many outpatient day treatment or partial hospitalization centers also offer care for dual diagnosis.
