What is Outpatient Treatment for Substance Abuse?
Outpatient treatment is a drug and alcohol addiction recovery program where individuals continue live at home while attending scheduled therapy and rehab sessions at Milestone's dedicated facility. This level of care is best suited for people with mild to moderate addiction who have a stable and supportive living environment.
Outpatient treatment programs vary in intensity and duration, depending on the individual's needs. They typically include a combination of:
- Individual therapy: One-on-one sessions with a therapist to address underlying issues contributing to addiction and develop coping mechanisms.
- Group therapy: Peer support groups where individuals share experiences, build connections, and learn from one another.
- Psychoeducation: Educational sessions on addiction, recovery, and relapse prevention.
- Medication management: If needed, medication can be prescribed to manage withdrawal symptoms, reduce cravings, and support recovery.
Outpatient treatment offers flexibility for individuals who cannot take time away from work, school, or family responsibilities. It can also be a step-down option for those who have completed a more intensive level of care, such as inpatient or residential treatment.
