What Is Outpatient Treatment?

An outpatient rehab program provides clients with access to professional addiction treatment while living off-site in a sober living community or supportive home environment. Denver Mental Health & Counseling outpatient care program gives clients the unique opportunity to build a life of recovery while testing out their newly learned coping skills.

To ensure that programs are tailored to each client’s progress, needs and desire for flexibility, outpatient care at at Denver Mental Health & Counseling is available in three forms:

1. Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP): This level of care offers a smooth transition from an inpatient or partial hospitalization program to outpatient treatment. Depending on clinical recommendations and personal comfort, clients may live at home or move to an off-site housing environment. Individualized counseling, support group meetings, medication management and reflection continue on a full-time basis.
2. Acute Outpatient Care: Less intensive than IOP, clients undergoing acute outpatient care spend the majority of their day participating in structured reflective activities and therapy at the facility. They return home at the end of the day to a sober living home or other supportive environment.
3. Flexible Care: Flexible care allows clients to create their own treatment schedules. This allows many to go back to their normal responsibilities, like work, childcare and domestic duties. Increased accountability gives those in recovery the chance to test, evaluate and adjust their new coping skills when needed, helping reduce the risk of relapse.

While some patients participate in outpatient treatment at Denver Mental Health & Counseling without receiving other levels of treatment, most partake in it as a step in a complete continuum of care. This allows clients to gradually transition from structured and intensive care to a flexible environment where they can practice their new skills and build resilience in real-world situations.

at Denver Mental Health & Counseling, we understand that everyone’s recovery process is different. Whether you take part in a multi-level treatment program or only undergo outpatient care, we’ll be with you every step of the way.

Who Does Outpatient Rehab Benefit Most?

Drug and alcohol addiction recovery is a difficult process, but it can be especially challenging when living outside a residential treatment center or sober living home in the beginning of sobriety. Because of this, outpatient care is usually best for those who have already participated in residential care as part of a full continuum of treatment. Following structured, intensive inpatient care, the flexibility and freedom of outpatient programming gives clients the opportunity to practice some of the skills they’ve learned at Denver Mental Health & Counseling in personal and professional settings, while still providing a supportive safety net to work through any challenges or setbacks.

While most clients undergo outpatient treatment as part of a full continuum of care, some exclusively receive outpatient treatment. For these clients to be successful, they must be in stable condition, show mild symptoms of addiction, and be willing to actively participate in a recovery program. It can be difficult to fully devote oneself to recovery when only receiving treatment for a few hours every week while living at home, so these clients must be particularly focused and committed to sober living.

Outpatient Alcohol Rehab

Alcohol is one of the most addictive and easily accessible substances available in the United States and across the world. Since it’s an ingrained part of most social events and celebrations, nearly anyone can fall victim to alcohol dependence, or worse — addiction. Fortunately, a variety of treatment options exist, including outpatient alcohol treatment. These programs help people stop drinking and stay sober while affording them the freedom to maintain their personal and professional responsibilities.

Whether you undergo outpatient alcohol rehab on its own or as part of a larger treatment program, care typically begins with inpatient or outpatient alcohol detox. During this process, people may experience painful and potentially life-threatening withdrawal symptoms as alcohol leaves the body. Because of this, it’s important that detox is undergone in a safe environment under the supervision of medical professionals.

Once the detox process is complete, clients begin treatment. During this period, participants spend a set number of hours every week undergoing treatment at a treatment facility. Clients schedule therapy sessions, group discussions and treatment around daily duties, so they can continue to take care of their families, maintain their work schedules and tend to personal commitments. At The Recovery Village at Palmer Lake, each outpatient alcohol rehab plan is tailored to the individual’s schedule, treatment goals and medical needs.
