Day and Night Treatment vs. Inpatient Rehab

People struggling with substance abuse often have to make a choice between several treatment options. Recovery programs for alcohol and drug addiction are broadly categorized into two: Inpatient and Outpatient rehab programs. There are also a number of modifications in-between.

One unique and highly personalized approach to treating substance abuse offered by Recreate Life Counseling is our Day and Night Addiction Treatment with Community Housing. The purpose of this treatment program is to strike a balance between two extremes. Understanding the differences between the various treatment plans offered by most rehab centers will have you well prepared for the challenges ahead.

Who Are Inpatient Rehab Programs Best Suited For?

Depending on the intensity of an individuals’ addiction, our clinicians and addiction professionals complete a comprehensive assessment during the intake process before a patient is placed in the appropriate level of care. Before admission into the day and night treatment program, our team wants to have a clear picture of the circumstances and drug addiction history that led our clients to reach out for help. This way a personalized treatment plan can be tailored to match the needs of all patients.

Inpatient rehab programs require the client to be on site twenty four hours per day. In this level of care, patients live at the rehab center where all of the treatment, counseling, and therapy occurs. This program is recommended for addicts with a chronic and long history of drug or alcohol addiction, where other methods of treatment have failed. Intensive care and close supervision in a long-term residential treatment facility are certainly advantageous, but it’s not the only way to get clean and sober.

Although having a number of benefits, inpatient rehab programs may not be suitable for everyone. For example, inpatient rehab is comparatively more expensive than day and night treatment. Also, it disrupts your everyday activities, making you unable to meet your obligations to family, friends, and employers. You’re stuck at the rehab facility around the clock, unable to leave.

Some benefits of choosing an inpatient rehab treatment program include:

  • Eliminates environmental and social risks factors that can act as triggers
  • 24 hours access to medical care and support
  • Helps you concentrate on recovery by cutting off distractions of daily life
  • Better success rates

How Day and Night Addiction Treatment Works

Our unique Day and Night Treatment programs are structured to provide clients with a conducive environment that nurtures high success rates and minimizes relapses. We have monitored and structured recovery residences that clients are transported to after completing therapy at the rehab center for the day. Living in our state-of-the-art community residential quarters ensures you receive 24 hours support from our staff.

Unlike inpatient treatment, a major differentiating factor is that in day and night treatment, you live at an off-site recovery residence that is supervised and managed by our behavioral health technicians. In day and night drug rehab, treatment sessions are conducted throughout the week during the day, with twelve-step meeting attendance in the afternoon. Daily therapy sessions may last between 3 and 5 hours. At the end of therapy sessions, our clients would typically return to their sober living residences.

While in Day and Night Drug Treatment, everyone receives individual and group therapy from trained addiction counselors and therapists. This is a very crucial part of the recovery process. You also learn communication skills and coping mechanisms which are invaluable for your reintegration into society. Being around people who understand your situation and share similar experiences gives added motivation to remain sober.

Day and night substance abuse treatment at Recreate Life Counseling is composed of a number of key components aimed at offering our clients an all-inclusive recovery option. Some unique features of our day and night rehab program include:

  • Community housing which provides an ideal environment for sober living
  • Weekly individual therapy sessions with our experienced recovery therapists
  • Daily group therapy sessions with other addicts in recovery, providing peer support and an avenue to learn and share experiences
  • Weekly psychotherapy sessions with our mental health experts
  • Family counseling sessions to get loved ones involved by providing the support needed in the recovery process
  • Aftercare planning and outpatient drug counseling designed to monitor your progress in the real world and offer a continuum of care

How to Choose the Most Suitable Recovery Program for You

When recommending a level of care, we consider each clients’ ability to function in their everyday environment without experiencing a relapse. If you are able to handle your cravings and deal effectively with the pressures of everyday life without falling back to drug abuse, then a day and night treatment is a suitable and effective recovery plan.
