Severe addiction cases for certain drugs such as oxycodone or heroin is usually an addiction that’s best treated in an inpatient treatment program as on-site support can be administered to manage both the detox and withdrawals.  However, for addiction cases that are less severe that are diagnosed early on an outpatient recovery program is well-suited.

“What I love about the Outpatient program at Rehab South Florida is that it motivated and helped me to end my addiction to heroin while providing a flexible treatment schedule.  I couldn’t have done it without them!”  – Stated by a recent graduate of the Outpatient program at Rehab South Florida.

There are various types of outpatient treatment programs available each accommodating varying levels of addiction.  Based on the type of drug used and the extent in which it was used, the Outpatient program you attend will be determined.

There are generally 3 types of outpatient rehab programs:

When it comes to the highest level of treatment it will be found in our day rehab program.  In a day program, patients will commit to attending group therapy meetings 5-7 days per week for a few hours each session.  During the Outpatient Day Program, patients will actively participate in ongoing therapy and group counseling in addition to other therapeutic activities such as music and art.

After patients attend each of these sessions they are permitted to return home to their family or sober living home if that’s where residence is established.  While day programs do mandate regular attendances to sessions and treatments which can limit availability for work/recreation, it’s an intensive program that will surely help you through the hardship of addiction and successful recovery is attained by over many of our patients.

The Rehab South Florida intensive outpatient program is a level of treatment that has defined curriculums with measurable milestones that will help you and us to assess and understand your progress.  As various treatment milestones are met the amount of time you need to commit to weekly will begin to slowly decrease.

Our intensive outpatient program is designed for those who want to take serious action to overcome addiction without losing the freedom of being able to work or spend time with family.  An IOP may require that you attend multiple sessions per week which can each last for a few hours.  Counseling sessions, group therapy sessions, education on relapse prevention, and the 12-step program are all components of recovery that patients in our IOP program will participate in.

After treatment, continuing care, learning about addiction prevention, and being involved in support groups and communities are great ways to maintain the sobriety that Rehab South Florida helped you to achieve.  By joining groups such as the Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous, you can continue to learn about the nature of addiction while being able to accept and provide support to others in the community that are overcoming addiction or have already achieved sobriety.
