Home » Treatment & Rehab » Inpatient Vs Outpatient Rehab For Substance Use Disorder
When it comes to treatment options for substance use disorders, inpatient and outpatient rehab are the two most recommended levels of care after medical detox. They each have different benefits, and discussing your unique circumstances with an addiction expert or counselor can help you decide which option is best for where you are on your recovery journey.Â
Inpatient and outpatient treatment are both excellent options for healing from substance use disorders. The main difference between them is that inpatient or residential rehabs offer 24-hour care and housing, and there is usually a minimum 30-day commitment. Outpatient treatment programs are less intensive, allowing clients to live at home or sober living while attending several hours of therapy a few times a week.Â

Inpatient rehab is an ideal choice for anyone who can benefit from intensive support to help them recover from a substance use disorder and any co-occurring mental health disorders. Many residential treatment centers also offer medical detox, which is the perfect first step to help you get through the withdrawal process safely. Once your condition is stable, you’ll be able to attend therapy and begin healing on an emotional and psychological level.Â
Inpatient treatment programs offer a discreet, healing environment with 24-hour care from a dedicated team of professional clinicians, therapists, and addiction experts. Inpatient rehab is a good choice for people who may be triggered by living at home, are struggling with PTSD, and or have a history of severe substance use or relapse.
There are several levels of outpatient treatment available, ranging from more structured programs that meet daily to programs that meet 1-3 times a week. Many people begin with residential care and then progress through the different levels of outpatient care to help them transition into a full-time schedule of work or school while living at home.Â
Partial Hospitalization is the most structured level of outpatient care, with a schedule of several hours of therapy a day, including individual and group therapy sessions, skill building, and 12-step groups.Â
During the intensive outpatient program, clients are able to resume a regular schedule of work or study, while attending therapy several times a week.Â
Outpatient care provides 1-2 therapy sessions each week for up to three months. Outpatient programs are ideal for people who have a busy schedule and are thriving on their recovery journeys.Â
