With so many different treatment alternatives in Alta to choose from it can be confusing which program is the best for you or a family member. If you cannot afford or commit to residential or inpatient treatment there are outpatient alternatives that are more intensive than regular outpatient , such as outpatient day treatment that is also at times called partial hospitalization. The most obvious difference is that individuals don't remain at the center as they would in inpatient, and return home after treatment every day. Outpatient day treatment or partial hospitalization typically consists of treatment services being delivered at least 5 days per week, for up to eight hours each day. Apart from this service being used as a main rehab option, outpatient day treatment or partial hospitalization can also help clients who have completed inpatient treatment reintegrate back into a drug-free lifestyle.
Rehabilitation services include traditional rehab services like group therapy and individual counseling, but there are also relapse prevention elements in place in most cases like support groups which are known to help prevent bad behaviors and inspire people to remain sober and get treatment. For clients struggling with a co-occurring mental health issues, many outpatient day treatment or partial hospitalization facilities also offer treatment for dual diagnosis.
