On the other hand, outpatient treatment might sound much more appealing to someone looking for flexible treatment options, because it is less restrictive than inpatient treatment. Outpatient treatment programs allow a patient to continue living at home, working if they are employed, and generally living their everyday life outside of mandatory clinical and medical visits. Most programs include group counseling and/or individual counseling. Other activities you may participate in while in outpatient include:
So, does outpatient rehab work? Like other chronic diseases, addiction can be managed successfully. When treatment is tailored to the person in therapy, and when that person is fully invested and engaged, treatment can be at its most effective. According to drugabuse.gov, for individuals in outpatient treatment over extended periods, most people who get into and remain in treatment stop using drugs, decrease their criminal activity, and improve their occupational, social, and psychological functioning. However, individual treatment outcomes depend on the extent and nature of the patient’s problems, the appropriateness of treatment and related services used to address those problems, and the quality of interaction between the patient and his or her treatment providers.
In an anonymous survey at BrightView, more than 90% of our patients reported that BrightView’s programs were working for them. After 30 days in the program, more than 99% of patients feel that their treatment plan is working for them.
According to GoodTherapy.org there are also several steps you can take to maximize your chances of long-term recovery.
So, how do you measure success in treatment? It is not easy; it is actually very subjective. What one person defines as success in recovery might be defined as something entirely different to the next person. There is no black and white when you are in treatment. BrightView encourages patients to strive for progress and not perfection which takes a burden off one’s back in recovery and frees them to move at a pace that works for them. Unrealistic or perfect expectations can create devastating disappointments, which, for someone in recovery could be triggering.
