sions and weekly doctor’s visits. These may vary
depending on the location you attend treatment at.
The length of these programs will vary as well, but
they will typically range from three to six weeks.
Intensive outpatient programs are programs
that typically require three counseling sessions
per week. These are normally three hour sessions
at each visit. These sessions mainly consist of
group counseling sessions but may also include
some individual counseling sessions. The length
of these programs typically last longer than partial
hospitalization programs and can range from a
few weeks to a few months. Many times this will
depend on the patient’s insurance plan and their
progress in treatment.
Outpatient is the type of treatment that patients
are able to stay in the longest. The requirements
can vary greatly depending on the program, but
it typically starts with someone attending weekly
individual and group counseling sessions. As the
patient begins to progress in their treatment and
sobriety the amount of sessions they are required
to attend may begin to decrease.
Medication assisted treatment can occur at
any of the levels of care mentioned. This type of
treatment is when someone receives some form
of medication to aid in their recovery and can be
either short or longer term. These medications are
used to decrease cravings and will either contain
some form of a “blocker” medication that prevents
someone from being able to feel the effects of
drugs if they are used, while others may be used
that may make the person ill if they use any drugs
or alcohol.
The level of care someone begins their treatment in depends on many factors, but they will all
address the addiction equally. It is important to
note that patients will also be able to step down
through these levels of care as well. Someone who
attends a medical detox program will be able to
step down to a partial hospitalization or intensive
outpatient program after completing their detox
program. The levels of care are a process someone
may follow through the course of their treatment.
There is no one “right” type of treatment for
addiction to alcohol or drugs, but by seeing a physician or counselor who specializes in substance
abuse, a person is able to determine the right starting point for their recovery. After this they will
follow the recommendations of each professional
they work with along the way to continue determining the best way for their treatment to progress. Treatment for addiction is a long process, but
by using these treatment options, an individual is
able to keep moving forward in their recovery.
