There are both inpatient and outpatient drug treatment, but there are a few sub-categories of outpatient drug and alcohol rehab in Ruby from which to choose. Regular outpatient rehab is not invasive and individuals usually attend counseling and therapy a few times per week. Intensive outpatient programs provide counseling and therapy similar to normal outpatient, but on a more intensive schedule which also accommodates work and family life.
An outpatient drug rehab type called Day Treatment or Partial Hospitalization is the most comprehensive form of outpatient rehab available. Individuals can still return home or to a sober living facility at the end of each day, but will spend most of their time participating in outpatient treatment services. Day treatment and partial hospitalization outpatient drug rehab is ideal for clients who have newly completed an inpatient rehab, but still need to keep a strong support system while becoming more comfortable with a sober life. These rehabs also tend to offer a broader array of care that regular outpatient may not offer, including medication management, dual diagnosis treatment, and alternative therapies.
It is common for people in outpatient drug rehab or after treatment in outpatient drug or alcohol treatment to have a relapse. In these cases inpatient treatment would correctly be the next step.
