Outpatient treatment can be the step-down level of treatment following an initial inpatient treatment for detox and stabilization--or it can be the only level of treatment that is required. In some addiction cases, withdrawal symptoms can be controlled on an outpatient level. Many, however, require continual monitoring to avoid entering a medical crisis while the body is adjusting to the lack of drugs.

Effective outpatient treatment may be offered in a clinic setting, private practice, or in intensive outpatient care facilities. The role of the therapist or counselor is crucial in the continuum of care treatment. From the initial interview to the long-lasting support meetings, the counselor is the one central figure of stability for the recovering addict. Just knowing the accountability that is in place is a deterrent for many trying to stop from returning to drug or alcohol use.

Finding the right outpatient treatment facility has a lot to do with the level of recovery. Some facilities offer the option of staying at the facility during the day and going home at night. Other facilities are only available for scheduled office visits with the counselor or therapist. Accurate evaluation of the level of care needed is necessary for optimal results with outpatient facilities.

Your treating healthcare provider will know when it is the right time to recommend outpatient treatment. It is best to follow the advice of those working closely with the recovering addict. They know how much progress has been made and are the best judges of the potential for successful treatment outside the confines of an inpatient facility.
