With so many various rehab options in Mayo to choose from it can be confusing which program is best for you or a loved one. If you can't commit to or afford inpatient or residential rehab there are outpatient alternatives that are more intensive than normal outpatient , such as outpatient day treatment which is also at times called partial hospitalization. The most obvious difference is that individuals don't stay at the facility like with inpatient, and head home after rehab every night. Outpatient day treatment or partial hospitalization generally consists of rehab services being offered at least five days per week, for up to eight hours per day. Apart from this option being used as a primary rehab option, outpatient day treatment or partial hospitalization can also help people who have completed inpatient rehab reintegrate back into a drug-free lifestyle.
Treatment services include standard treatment services like individual counseling and group therapy, but there are also relapse prevention services put into place such as psychotherapies which are known to help prevent destructive habits and inspire people to get treated and stay sober. For individuals having trouble with a co-occurring mental health disorder, many outpatient day treatment or partial hospitalization centers also offer rehab for dual diagnosis.
