With so many different treatment options in Tell to choose from it can be confusing which one would be the best for yourself or a family member. If you cannot afford or commit to residential or inpatient treatment there are outpatient alternatives that are more intense than regular outpatient , such as outpatient day treatment which is also sometimes called partial hospitalization. The most apparent difference is that individuals do not remain at the facility like with inpatient, and return home after treatment every day. Outpatient day treatment or partial hospitalization generally entails rehab services being delivered at least five days per week, for up to eight hours per day. Apart from this option being used as a primary treatment option, outpatient day treatment or partial hospitalization can also help individuals who have finished inpatient rehab transition back into a sober way of life.
Rehab services include standard treatment services like individual counseling and group therapy, but there are also relapse prevention elements in place such as psychotherapies that are known to help prevent bad behaviors and motivate individuals to get treated and stay sober. For individuals struggling with a co-occurring mental health issues, many outpatient day treatment or partial hospitalization facilities also offer rehab for dual diagnosis.
