Outpatient Treatment at The Recovery Village Columbus Drug & Alcohol Rehab

Outpatient rehab is meant to transition patients from residential treatment to everyday sober living. As such, there are two types of outpatient addiction treatments for substance abuse: acute and flexible. With experience across the Greater Ohio area and beyond, the team of treatment specialists at The Recovery Village Columbus will help you determine which mode of care fits your needs. In acute outpatient care, those who need intensive support on their way to independent living will spend the majority of the day working on a personalized treatment at a recovery center. With flexible care, patients can choose — and will be held accountable to — their appointments and fill their own schedule.

Outpatient Rehab Emphasizes:

• Mobility – You can maintain commitments to family and work, and meet any other personal obligations at your discretion.
• Privacy – Due to infrequent travel, you will not likely have to disclose to employers, neighbors or friends that you are in treatment.
• Self-monitoring – Being out and about during most of the day requires you to hold yourself accountable in avoiding familiar environmental triggers.
• Collective support – You will be encouraged to pursue outside support such as 12-step groups like Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous.

While attending outpatient rehab, many individuals remain immersed in their daily life and responsibilities, including keeping a job and tending to their family’s needs. This kind of care involves scheduled part-time therapy sessions at The Recovery Village Columbus. For those with a fairly mild drug or alcohol problem, weekly appointments may suffice, while those with more deeply rooted addictions may opt for daily therapy. Regardless of frequency and intensity of treatment, outpatient rehab does not require full-time facility residence.

If you or someone you know is struggling with a substance use disorder, outpatient rehab might be a viable option to get back on the path to help. However, this type of treatment requires a great amount of responsibility and is not suitable for those requiring intensive support to quit using drugs or alcohol. That being said, outpatient may be for you if:

• You have a mild or relatively new addiction. Less intensive than inpatient or partial hospitalization programs, an outpatient treatment regimen may be a sufficient form of care if you do not require acute care to recover.
• You cannot commit to residential treatment. At The Recovery Village, we understand travel to and an extended stay in the Greater Ohio area may not be realistic for you. Our outpatient intake specialists will work to accommodate your needs and tailor a treatment program that fits your schedule.
• You are in control of your recovery and do not need intensive support. The most autonomous form of care, outpatient drug and alcohol rehab is ideal for those who have completed more intensive levels of care, are in good health and who maintain a successful life outside of treatment.

As with any drug or alcohol rehab, the ultimate goal is to maintain a sustainable, healthy life. The Recovery Village specialists will work with you as often as you like, or as little as you desire, as your autonomy grows. Outpatient Rehab gets you one step closer to total independence from therapy and treatment, and if you’re committed, you may be well on your way to an aftercare strategy with minimal support.
