Outpatient vs. Inpatient Drug Rehab

In drug and alcohol inpatient drug rehab, the patient is monitored throughout the detox stage, which helps make the process more controlled and less painful. In outpatient treatment, the patient may have to detox at home.

  • Inpatient treatment helps give the patient a sense of breakage between the old life and the new one. With outpatient treatment, it can be more difficult to make the transition.
  • Outpatient treatment allows you to continue with your work life without substantial disruption.
  • Outpatient rehab can work for patients who have strong support systems at home. Without this, you’re probably better off in the supportive environment of an inpatient drug rehab facility.
  • Inpatient facilities allow patients to immediately immerse themselves in the patterns and philosophies of sober living. You get to interact with other recovering addicts, and these early connections can be crucial for your long-term recovery.
