What are the Benefits of Outpatient Therapy?
Outpatient therapy is a highly effective form of treatment if you are facing the struggles of substance abuse and mental health disorders.
In outpatient treatment, we utilize many widely recognized therapeutic modalities, such as:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Motivational Interviewing (MI)
Other methods of talk therapy
All of these therapeutic techniques are available to our clients seeking recovery and healing. Continue reading to learn more about how outpatient treatment can help you overcome alcohol and drug addiction, other behavioral addictions and mental health issues such as anxiety disorder, depression, borderline personality disorder, and other mood disorders.
Accessible, Flexible & Convenient
Outpatient treatment programs are advantageous to clients who don’t have the option to put their life on hold to attend a residential treatment program. Unlike inpatient treatment, one of the advantages of outpatient programs is that this kind of rehab program doesn’t require you to reside at the recovery center for an extended period of time. Outpatient rehab allows you to receive the care and support you need while still living at home, attending to your daily responsibilities and staying present in your daily life. Outpatient treatment allows you to apply newly learned coping skills to your daily life, with the support of your peers and your therapists during individual therapy and group counseling.
Insight Northwest Recovery offers support and treatment that is available both in-person and online, which makes receiving assistance even more convenient especially for clients that are remote or extremely busy. Seeking help from addiction treatment centers can be an overwhelming experience, but online therapy can provide a comfortable first step from the safety of your own home. We offer an initial assessment and consultation call to help you decide what treatment program and treatment center may be best for you.
Inpatient Rehab vs Outpatient Rehab
Inpatient care requires clients to reside at a treatment facility for an extended period of time while you receive care for more severe addictions such as heroin addiction, opioid addiction, cocaine addiction, opiate addiction and those going through severe alcohol detox. This type of drug rehab facility can provide detox centers, community housing, heroin addiction treatment programs, opioid addiction treatment programs, and painkiller addiction treatment programs.
As we have mentioned earlier, unlike inpatient treatment, during an outpatient treatment program you would return home at the end of every day. Outpatient Treatment programs typically provide reduced levels of care throughout the programming to meet your needs along your journey with recovery and start transitioning back to your everyday life with the added support, life skills, and coping mechanisms you have learned throughout treatment. Some programs start out as intensive at 6-8 hours a day and gradually taper down to shorter and far less frequent sessions to fit on-going support into your schedule so you can maintain recovery and prevent relapse.
Benefits of Outpatient Treatment Programs
Personalized, Comprehensive Treatment
Our outpatient programs are highly structured to provide you with the care you need for mental health treatment and substance abuse treatment. Here at Insight Northwest Recovery, we know recovery is not one-size-fits-all and we work with you to create personalized plans that are tailored to address your specific needs and the unique challenges you face.
Outpatient rehabilitation can involve a combination of individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy, and medication management to help you overcome addiction to drugs and alcohol, other behavioral addictions, or mental health conditions.
These types of therapies can address issues such as:
Co-occurring Disorders
Substance Use Disorders
Anxiety Disorder
Bipolar Disorder
Depression
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and more
After Care
On-going support is a crucial step in healing if you are seeking recovery from drug and alcohol addiction and mental health issues. A huge benefit of outpatient rehab is the after care program and the on-going support it provides you. Insight Northwest Recovery offers long-term treatment programs that work with you to provide support and accountability as you ease back into daily life after completing intensive treatment. This type of care assists you in preventing relapse and maintaining progress in your recovery journey.
We are here to answer all of your questions and assist you with healing and newfound wellness. After Care serves as a resource so that you can feel encouraged through the difficult process of navigating daily life while understanding your triggers and addressing challenges in your recovery from substance abuse or other mental health challenges.
Variety of Evidence-Based Therapies
Outpatient therapy programs utilize many evidence-based therapies such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), to name a few. These therapies have been proven to be highly effective in drug addiction treatment and co-occurring disorder treatment. They provide you with the tools and coping skills to deal with challenging emotions and better understand your triggers.
These tools not only help you understand your addiction or mental health condition(s), but help you in other areas of your life; improving your relationships, navigating stressors, and managing your mental health. A licensed therapist can work with you to create a highly personalized plan to create a strong strong foundation for overcoming substance abuse and/or mental health disorders.
Community and Support
One of the main benefits of outpatient treatment are group therapy sessions. This provides you with a safe, empowering space to share with others facing similar difficulties and challenges. Group therapy is beneficial as it provides a sense of community that can be motivating and healing. Co-occurring disorder and drug addiction treatment programs can also include family counseling which can offer the support of family and friends and help loved ones better understand the challenges of addiction and how they can support the recovery process.
Coping & Life Skills
Insight Northwest Recovery tailors our outpatient care and recovery process to your specific needs. Some treatment plans can involve on-going therapy or medication management, which can assist in managing stress and navigating sober living. We are committed to providing you with practical coping skills and help reinforce everything you are learning to overcome drug addiction and mental health issues. We aim to provide support while you learn to implement your newly found coping techniques in your daily life to overcome substance abuse. We work with you to develop communication skills and help to mend damaged relationships and help you create the life you deserve.
