Outpatient Drug Rehab Scottsdale

What to Expect During Outpatient Rehab

The first step in outpatient care is a thorough evaluation of your current state in the recovery process for clinicians to create a schedule and treatment plan tailored to your needs. Treatment plans our personal lives to best support reintegration into everyday life. You can expect several types of addiction treatment including individual and group therapy sessions and holistic therapies a week. During this phase of treatment, clinicians will continue helping you work through the underlying causes of your addiction while helping you to build on coping skills and tools needed for successful recovery as you begin to apply them to your day-to-day life. You will also continue on spiritual healing through this 12-step program and may be encouraged to participate in 12-step meetings outside The River Source. Outpatient treatment is also an important time to continue cultivating bonds with your peers, serving as lifelong friendships and mutual support systems.

Benefits of Outpatient Drug & Alcohol Rehab

It can offer several benefits, whether you are entering outpatient rehab as your first step in the recovery process or as a step down from inpatient treatment. Outpatient rehab will require you to live at home or in a sober living facility while you attend treatment. When outpatient treatment is a good fit for the individual, it can be just as effective as inpatient treatment. Some benefits of outpatient drug rehab include:

Works with inpatient care. Outpatient treatment is most effective as a follow-up to inpatient programs to help patients transition back to the real world with enough support and feedback from counselors and peers.

Fits around most schedules. One of the biggest advantages of outpatient treatment is the ability to continue going to work or school full time or taking care of responsibilities at home such as children, elderly, and pets. Some people struggling with substance abuse have difficulty putting their lives on hold for several months, and outpatient treatment can remove those obstacles.

Less expensive. Without the need for room and board plus fewer addiction treatments a week, Rehab costs are substantially less. Outpatient rehab may fit your budget better while still providing an effective addiction treatment program.

Provides real-world experience. While staying sober during residential treatment is fairly easy, once you’re in the real world and faced with real problems, sobriety can be more challenging. Outpatient treatment can provide you with plenty of support while you experience stressors which may be relapse triggers. You can also actively apply what you learn in treatment daily.

Easy transition to long-term recovery. Outpatient treatment can serve as a way to transition from inpatient treatment to the real world without throwing you into the deep end of the pool, making adapting to your life less stressful and more successful.

Support from loved ones. Inpatient treatment will usually completely cut you off from the outside world, even your support system. Outpatient treatment program, like partial hospitalization program, can offer intensive treatment like inpatient care but allows you to go home to your supportive loved ones at the end of the day.

What Does a Day in Outpatient Addiction Treatment Look Like?

Your day in outpatient rehab will be much less structured than inpatient treatment which means every day will be different than the last. As you progress through treatment, program intensity will be tapered down meaning you’ll spend fewer and fewer hours each week at The River Source. Your day will begin either at home or at a sober living facility where you can follow your daily morning routine. Depending on the structure of your outpatient treatment program, you may either travel to the Scottsdale rehab center first thing in the morning for your full block of treatment you may go to work or school first and participate in your block of treatment in the afternoon or evening. Some of our treatment programs also allow you to break up your daily addiction treatments into morning and evening blocks. Addiction treatments may include several types of individual and group counseling and holistic therapies.

How Long Does Outpatient Rehab in Scottsdale Last With The River Source?

Just as with all our treatment programs, the length of outpatient treatment depends on each individual. It is important to remember that addiction is a lifelong journey and your work in recovery does not end the day you complete your rehab program, like cocaine rehab in Scottsdale. The River Source offers two main outpatient treatment programs before continuing with outpatient treatment and aftercare programs which you schedule on your own. These two outpatient programs are:

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP): This program generally consists of 30 days of treatment for a total of 20 sessions. This intensive program requires an average of 6 1/2 hours of treatment five days a week. This is a good step down from inpatient treatment. We recommend residing in the lower sober living facility instead of directly going home so that you can be around others in recovery without 24/7 supervision.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP): this program is a total of 24 sessions, usually done over 60 days. IOP is our more flexible program which allows you to complete your sessions around your work schedule for an average of three hours, three days a week.

Telehealth IOP Serving Scottsdale

Our online rehab program also known as Telehealth IOP, allows patients to access individual and group therapy sessions through a secured, HIPAA-compliant online portal. Telehealth IOP has eliminated several barriers to treatment including for individuals who are immunocompromised, have social anxiety or agoraphobia, do not have access to reliable transportation, or live in rural communities with minimal drug and alcohol rehab options. Telehealth services are also more affordable to those without health insurance who pay out of pocket. The River Source encourages all telehealth IOP participants to do on-site drug testing as a way to maintain accountability and motivation.
