  1. The 6 Benefits Of Intensive Outpatient Addiction Treatment When someone has come to terms with the fact that they need to seek help for addiction or dependency issues, the next step is to find the right kind of treatment program for their personal needs. Although most people are familiar with residential or inpatient addiction treatment, there are highly effective outpatient options also available for people needing more flexibility.

  2. Maintain Consistent Support to Family If an addict is the main breadwinner or caregiver in the family, a residential treatment program may not be possible. Many people with addiction have young children that need to be supervised and cared for and others may be required to work and fund childcare for preschoolers in the absence of a co-parent.

  3. Pulls Together Support from Family and Friends One of the aspects of residential addiction treatment that is considered beneficial is that it allows individuals access to emotional support. However, an intensive outpatient program involves family and friends in the patient’s progress in the absence of group therapy. Instead, the focus is more on family therapy which is extremely effective in supporting a healthy life in sobriety.

  4. Maintain Privacy There are lots of reasons someone with addiction may wish to keep their treatment to themselves. Perhaps they fear being harshly judged by others or are simply embarrassed by their issues. Fears about being ‘exposed’ as an addict can prevent many from seeking the help they need and outpatient treatment is a beneficial option in these cases.

  5. Pay Less Money Cost is a significant factor for many people with addiction issues, making residential treatment unaffordable. Outpatient treatment can be much cheaper and has as much potential to be successful as a residential program

  6. Build Community with Others in Recovery Locally One of the keys of preventing relapse and maintaining sobriety after treatment is the support network that is built during an intensive outpatient program. Group therapy sessions with others going through the same experiences and similar journeys has been proven to be effective in maintaining sobriety once an individual has finished structured treatment.

  7. A Consistent Presence at School or Work Some people are just not able to uproot their lives to attend a residential addiction treatment program for a number of weeks. There are others who may find it too disruptive to be pulled out of school or work, particularly if they are able to make good progress despite their issues.

  8. THANK YOU
