Kentucky Outpatient Drug & Alcohol Addiction Treatment

HOW OUTPATIENT PROGRAM CAN IMPROVE RECOVERY

Establishing a Solid Foundation With An Outpatient Program

Our outpatient program is committed to providing you with the support you need every step of the way. Substance and drug abuse can have a significant impact on an addict’s life, affecting everything from work and health to family and relationships. You may not realize the extent of your addiction until you attempt to quit and find it challenging to do so. Alternatively, a wake-up call may come from a family intervention, warning, or termination from work. Your epiphany may also occur when you realize that the drug is slowly consuming your life, and you prioritize it over activities that once brought you joy.

Fortunately, various drug addiction treatment centers specialize in handling different levels of addiction. Since everyone responds differently to drugs, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to addiction treatment. Once you acknowledge your drug use, the next step is to find a program that meets your individual needs and goals.

Understanding Outpatient Treatment for Substance Abuse

Outpatient drug treatment is an ideal approach for those who need addiction recovery care but have daily obligations, such as work or school, that can’t be neglected. By joining an outpatient rehab program, you can attend treatment several days a week while continuing to live at home.

Regular check-ins with treatment specialists are necessary to receive counseling and/or medication. Depending on the treatment plan, therapy sessions may take several hours on specific days of the week, reducing gradually as you progress through your recovery.

Although outpatient programs provide the same level of intensive care as inpatient programs, they come at a lower cost and don’t require you to stay at a drug treatment facility.

While outpatient treatment programs offer the same level of intensive care as inpatient programs, they are less costly and don’t require you to reside at a drug treatment facility.

SUPPORT & STABILITY ARE AVAILABLE

Is Outpatient Rehab the Right Choice for You?

Outpatient rehab may not be the best option for everyone seeking treatment for substance abuse. This type of program is most effective if:

• Your addiction is mild to moderate. Individuals with severe addiction may benefit more from inpatient or residential treatment programs that provide more intensive supervision.
• You do not experience severe withdrawal symptoms. Detoxification is the process of removing drugs from the body, which can be dangerous. Withdrawal symptoms can also be life-threatening, which is why medical detoxification is best done under medical supervision.
• You have a supportive home environment. Patients undergoing outpatient treatment are more likely to maintain sobriety if they have a loving and supportive family environment. However, a toxic or abusive home situation or an environment with too many stressors can lead to drug abuse relapse.
• You need flexibility to attend to personal commitments. Outpatient programs are ideal if you can’t leave work, school, or family obligations.
• You are committed to sticking with the treatment schedule. You’ll need to find your transportation to and from the treatment center for all therapy sessions. Attending therapy without fail requires dedication and a high level of commitment.
• You haven’t had several relapses and defaults at recovery. If you’ve had numerous failed attempts at getting and staying sober, you might want to consider a residential treatment program that provides more intensive supervision and monitoring. Once stabilized, you can transition to outpatient care.

Outpatient Treatment Options at The Robert Alexander Center

If you’re seeking an outpatient drug treatment program, it’s important to note that services and programs may differ from one rehab center to the next. The Robert Alexander Center provides many treatment options to help you on your road to recovery, including:

• Medically-assisted treatment: Depending on your addiction, your treatment plan may include medication to aid in your recovery. These medications are closely supervised and approved by medical professionals at our center.
• Group counseling: Our outpatient treatment programs utilize group counseling sessions to provide a safe and supportive environment to learn and practice new behaviors. These sessions often incorporate a 12-step program and allow patients to connect with others working toward recovery.
• Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT): Our CBT program focuses on helping patients identify negative patterns of thought and behavior that lead to drug abuse. We empower our patients to replace these patterns with healthy behaviors that promote sobriety.
• Individual counseling: Our one-on-one counseling sessions are an essential component of our outpatient treatment program. During these sessions, our therapists work with clients to explore their substance use, identify triggers, and develop specific goals to mark progress toward recovery.
• Relapse prevention: Our team understands that relapse can be a part of the recovery process for many individuals in drug rehab. That’s why we offer relapse prevention strategies that help patients identify warning signs and triggers. We also work with patients to develop a plan to handle high-risk situations and avoid relapse.
