When seeking drug rehab facilities, you can encounter an extremely large number of out patient or “day treatment” type programs. An outpatient program is one in which the individual undergoing the program does not reside in the drug rehab for treatment, but instead visit the rehab facility daily or otherwise for classes, visits with counselors or to attend group meetings. Classically these type programs are designed to be attended over a long-term and clients attendance is open ended.
Out patient rehab for addiction and alcoholism is not as effective as most long term inpatient or residential treatment facilities. There are numerous very exact reasons for this but the greater of these is the fact that the person who is trying to regain their life from drugs and alcohol is forced back into their current environment every day to deal with the same pressures, relationships and triggers they sought rehab to handle. With this combination a person usually can stay clean and sober roughly the same amount of time they would have on their own and the numbers of people who relapse out of programs that function out patient are extremely high.
A reasonably common scenario is for a client to be referred to an out patient drug and alcohol rehab service after the completion of a long term treatment program. Studies will show that the effectiveness of some longer tem programs benefit from additional out patient services because they help the person continue with their treatment after completing the core program. Alternative long term drug and alcohol rehab facilities will seek to fully handle the person’s addiction while safe in the residential setting and therefore will not employ the out patient treatment after completion of the core program because it is not needed.
