With so many various treatment alternatives in Hume to decide on it can be difficult deciding which program is the best for you or a family member. If you can't commit to or afford residential or inpatient rehab there are outpatient alternatives that are more intense than regular outpatient care, such as outpatient day treatment that is also sometimes called partial hospitalization. The most obvious difference is that individuals do not stay at the program as they would in inpatient, and head 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 8 hrs each day. Aside from this option being used as a primary rehab option, outpatient day treatment or partial hospitalization can also help individuals who have completed inpatient treatment transition back into a drug and alcohol free lifestyle.
Rehabilitation services include traditional treatment services such as individual counseling and group therapy, but there are also relapse prevention services put into place such as support groups which are known to help prevent destructive behaviors and inspire clients to get treated and stay sober. For people having trouble with a co-occurring mental health disorder, many outpatient day treatment or partial hospitalization facilities also offer rehab for dual diagnosis.
