OUTPATIENT DRUG REHAB

Outpatient Drug Rehab In Louisville, KY

When considering addiction treatment, it is important to understand the different levels of care available in addiction treatment centers in Louisville, KY. Suppose you or a loved one struggles with an addiction to alcohol, prescription opioids, or “street” opioids such as heroin. In that case, it is often safer and more effective to seek treatment in an inpatient residential setting instead of outpatient rehab. Inpatient treatment services are also best for those who have completed an addiction treatment program yet experienced a relapse. There are increased opportunities for essential, potentially lifesaving treatment services in the inpatient environment, including medically assisted detox and assistance with withdrawal symptoms. 

However, if you have recently completed an inpatient addiction treatment program and do not feel ready yet to be “on your own” or have a mild substance abuse issue, outpatient rehab treatment may be the most beneficial treatment option. If you are motivated to seek addiction treatment, however, obligations at home such as work or family hinder your ability to be away from home, outpatient rehab can offer the essential flexibility you need to ensure treatment.

Inpatient vs. Outpatient: Which is Right for Me?

Each year, more than twenty-one million Americans struggle with an addiction, to at least one substance. Today, there are thousands of addiction treatment centers across the nation. Each facility provides comprehensive, evidence-based care to help patients attain and maintain recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. If you are seeking treatment and started to research treatment centers like Impact, you have likely noticed different “types” or levels of care provided at various facilities. Depending on your treatment needs, there are inpatient residential rehab programs, outpatient programs, and intensive outpatient programs, among others. Each level of care provides a different intensity of treatment. The best treatment for you will depend on the history and severity of your addiction, whether you have completed treatment before or if you have relapsed before. To best choose the level of care to help you meet your treatment needs and goals, it is essential to understand how inpatient and outpatient care programs are different.

Intensive outpatient programs differ from inpatient residential treatment in that outpatient programs allow you to remain at home throughout the course of your treatment. An inpatient residential program requires you to stay “on-site” at the facility throughout your treatment. Depending on your needs, this could be anywhere between thirty and ninety days. Intensive outpatient programs, however, provide the same level of addiction treatment services without the residency requirement. Intensive outpatient programs often serve as a transitional step for those who have completed an inpatient program but are not yet ready to fully transition into an unsupported environment outside of treatment. Intensive outpatient programs are also an excellent option for those considered to have a “mild” addiction, minimal co-occurring mental health concerns, and a safe and stable support structure at home (or outside the treatment environment).

The Benefits of Our Outpatient Rehab in Louisville

An outpatient program is often well suited for those who have recently completed an inpatient treatment program, or have a mild substance abuse problem. Outpatient programs are also beneficial treatment options for those who struggle to attend an inpatient program due to family or personal obligations. Our outpatient drug rehab in Louisville, KY, provides the same evidence-based addiction treatment as our inpatient rehab yet, in a non-residential setting.

As part of an outpatient program, you will have the flexibility and freedom you need to successfully start and complete addiction treatment without having to be away from home. Another benefit to outpatient care is the integration into many of our aftercare programs and alumni programs. Aftercare involves a variety of ongoing medical treatment and continuous addiction therapy. Many outpatient programs offer smooth transitions from ongoing, daily addiction treatment to follow-up maintenance treatment provided in aftercare.

Our very active alumni program provides program graduates the ability to continue peer relationships forged during the treatment process. Participating in sober activities and groups as part of an alumni program can provide an outlet for exercise, entertainment, and companionship with a group of like-minded peers who share your commitment to sobriety.

The Outpatient Rehab in Kentucky

The journey to recovery does not end upon the completion of an addiction treatment program. To ensure long-term sobriety, it is essential to continue following and practicing your treatment plan. A continued commitment to sobriety is critical to avoid relapse. Unfortunately, relapse is prevalent, even after completing an addiction treatment program. According to the National Institutes on Drug Abuse and Health, as many as 60% of those who complete an addiction treatment program will experience at least one incidence of relapse during their recovery journey. Aftercare and alumni programs can help reduce this risk. 

Our outpatient rehab in Kentucky encourages the freedom to return to your day-to-day life while continuing to focus on your health and sobriety. As part of our rehab, we offer the opportunity for program participants to stay in one of our sober living communities during or after treatment as part of an aftercare program if their home environment is not supportive or conducive to recovery. While part of our outpatient treatment program, you will attend one to three group sessions per week and meet with their primary therapist as often as once per week, based on individual needs. Therapy will address coping skills, relapse prevention skills, and addiction triggers. Group therapy sessions are also available throughout the week to accommodate those who are employed or have family obligations that limit their time during the “working day.” During and after treatment, we encourage our clients to maintain involvement with a 12-step fellowship and begin to develop and pursue independence. 

In an outpatient rehab in Kentucky, we provide our clients with the same evidence-based treatment opportunities offered as part of our inpatient residential treatment services. As part of an outpatient program, you have the benefit of comprehensive treatment in a luxury, flexible outpatient treatment environment. At our outpatient drug rehab in Louisville, you will find traditional and alternative therapies designed to meet your unique treatment goals and treatment needs. We understand that time away from home may not be possible for everyone, and therefore our outpatient program can help you achieve sobriety while remaining integrated with your community. The first step in the journey to sobriety is admitting you struggle with drugs. The next and often most challenging step is choosing to seek help to overcome your addiction. 

At a reputable addiction treatment center, your treatment team will work with you to design a comprehensive addiction treatment plan focused on your specific needs. Addiction is a disease that impacts each person in unique ways. Therefore, for treatment to be successful, the chosen therapy models must address your individual physical, psychological, and spiritual needs. Cookie-cutter addiction treatment programs that address only the addiction while ignoring the person-focused roots of an addiction struggle are often unsuccessful and frequently end in relapse.
