Residential Inpatient

When choosing the best inpatient rehab in South Florida, it is essential to consider which programs provide the right level of care to meet your treatment needs and goals. There are several options available here at Atlantic Recovery Center, allowing us to address help you achieve lasting sobriety regardless of your addiction severity. But, how do you choose the right level of care? What is the difference between inpatient and outpatient rehab? Inpatient and outpatient programs each focus on providing quality, effective addiction treatment therapy and education. However, it is important to note that there are differences in how inpatient and outpatient rehab help patients achieve and maintain lasting sobriety.

Inpatient rehab, sometimes called residential rehab or residential treatment, are drug and alcohol treatment programs that offer intensive treatment “on-site” at the treatment center. Patients or “residents” are required to remain at the rehab throughout the duration of their program. There are several situations where inpatient rehab is the right choice for you. Inpatient drug rehab programs are an excellent option for those who have a severe addiction or who have previously completed another drug or alcohol addiction treatment program and experienced relapse.

Inpatient treatment programs require participants to check in to the treatment program and “live” at the center while working through various stages of detox and therapy. A key benefit to inpatient rehab is the residential nature of the program. Remaining on-site at our South Florida inpatient treatment center ensures access to 24-hour medical, mental health, and nutritional support. Many inpatient programs have a higher level of treatment success compared to other care levels due to the intensity of the program.

Outpatient rehab programs follow a different format. Seeking help at an outpatient rehab allows you to get help to overcome addiction while remaining at home, engaged with your daily routines and obligations. Outpatient programs enable addicts seeking sobriety and recovery to maintain elements of their daily lives, including work and family obligations while getting the help they need to get sober.

Outpatient programs differ in levels of intensity. Many programs require participants to attend therapy sessions for up to 20 hours each week, split over three to five days. The duration of the program and therapy models used during treatment provided will vary based on the program’s treatment model and your unique treatment needs.

Most outpatient rehab programs typically last longer than traditional inpatient programs. There are several reasons for this, including their less intensive structure and the number of weekly therapy hours. In general, outpatient programs require patients to commit to a more extended treatment period to ensure they successfully achieve their therapeutic goals. Outpatient rehab programs typically last between 90-days and one year.

During this time, you are expected to attend a combination of individual and group therapy sessions and remain actively engaged in your treatment program.
