When you embark on the challenge to change your relationship with alcohol or drugs through treatment, one of the biggest decisions you need to make is whether you will do inpatient or outpatient drug treatment. In Pocatello, both inpatient and outpatient treatment programs are available at Moonlight Mountain Recovery.
Both types of programs have a lot to offer, but it’s essential you choose the one that is right for you. If you’re not sure where to start, here’s some information that could help you to make this life-altering choice.
Inpatient Treatment: What Is It?
Inpatient treatment for drugs and alcohol is similar in several ways to being admitted to a hospital. You are admitted to Moonlight Mountain Recovery’s facility and stay there 24 hours per day, seven days per week until the end of your treatment. The typical inpatient treatment stay is between three and six weeks.
Considerations for Inpatient Treatment
If you feel you need a highly structured approach to your recovery, then inpatient treatment may be the best choice for you. During your stay, the professionals at Moonlight Mountain Recovery focus on all aspects of your addiction such as social factors, lifestyle factors, and relationships.
If you have health problems that can be complicated by addiction or other disorders, then inpatient may also be the safest option due to the fact that medical attention is available 24/7.
Inpatient treatment offers intensive care and 24-hour support. Normally, three phases of recovery are worked into inpatient treatment plans. They are detox, reflection, and growth. This approach helps you to learn to adopt a lifestyle free from drugs and alcohol after you leave the treatment center. A step-down approach is also taken throughout treatment that allows for an easier transition between inpatient treatment and treatment outside of the facility.
Outpatient Treatment: What Is It?
Outpatient treatment for drugs and alcohol allows you to live at home and travel to and from the facility on your own for treatment. There are a few levels of outpatient treatment, but the level of treatment you participate in is based on the intensity of the treatment that is determined to be best for you.
In outpatient treatment in Pocatello, you receive daily treatment that can involve counseling, group sessions, and individual therapy. One of the perks of outpatient treatment is that it allows you to live at home as you work on your recovery which means you can still be with your family, still maintain employment, and stay on track with school if needed. Outpatient treatment usually costs less than inpatient treatment, but the level of support you have is less intensive.
Considerations for Outpatient Treatment
If you have the constant urge to use, you have difficulty showing up to your scheduled treatment on your own, or if you need treatment for multiple issues, then outpatient treatment may not be the right choice for you.
However, outpatient treatment can be successful for people who believe they can maintain sobriety and not use so that they can continue with their daily lives as they seek treatment.
