When you decide to seek help for substance addiction, it’s crucial to choose a treatment program that meets your unique needs, preferences, and responsibilities. At Maryville, we offer inpatient and outpatient rehab options, each designed to support your recovery in different ways. Understanding the distinctions between these can help you make an informed decision.
What Is Inpatient Treatment?
Residential treatment involves staying at a rehab facility full-time. This option is ideal for those who need to step away from the challenges and distractions of their everyday lives to focus completely on recovery.
- Full immersion: You will live in a single-gender environment and participate in evidence-based therapies designed to address the root causes of your substance use disorder, including any co-occurring mental health conditions.
- Structured environment: Our program will provide you with much-needed stability and predictability.
- Medication-assisted treatment: You will have access to FDA-approved medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and manage cravings. This option is especially beneficial during the early, often intense stages of recovery.
What Is Outpatient Treatment?
Outpatient treatment allows you to remain at home and maintain much of your usual routine, including working and caring for your family. This program is suitable for those with milder forms of addiction or as a step down from inpatient treatment.
- Flexibility: Outpatient programs work around your schedule, allowing you to receive treatment without arranging for child care or taking a leave of absence from your job. Our services are available in person and via telehealth, with the choice of morning or evening groups.
- Independence: You will continue to live in a familiar environment, where you can apply the recovery skills you learn in real time.
- Tailored counseling: Your counselor will work closely with you to develop a treatment plan based on your goals and priorities. Together, you will create a realistic roadmap that fits your needs and lifestyle.
Which Program Is Better for You?
The choice between inpatient and outpatient treatment depends on several factors, including the severity of your addiction, your home environment, and your daily responsibilities. Here are a few considerations.
- Inpatient treatment may be the better choice if you need a safe, structured environment because your home is not conducive to sobriety. It’s also helpful if you have experienced a relapse and need additional counseling.
- Outpatient treatment benefits people who have unwavering support at home or cannot put their professional and personal responsibilities on hold while they receive treatment.
