Overcome Addiction -Outpatient and Inpatient Treatment |
Outpatient Therapy
Outpatient therapy is usually conducted by holding weekly meetings with a
Counselor or Substance Abuse Therapist, and is modeled after traditional therapy and
cognitive behavioral modification. However, in some cases a more intensive day
treatment protocol is used, which more closely resembles residential treatment. Other
types of self help protocols such as modified 12 step programs or support groups may
be integrated as well. This type of treatment does not usually give the person a
method to confront the root cause of addiction and seems to be less successful than
other treatment options.
Inpatient Therapy
Inpatient therapy provides an intensive but brief residential treatment model based on a
modified 12-step approach. This treatment model requires inpatient admission to a
treatment center or hospital based facility for a specified period of time, which is usually
3 to 6 weeks. The inpatient treatment phase is generally followed by extended outpatient
therapy and participation in a self-help group, which leads us ultimately to the
ineffectiveness of the 12 step program and support groups.
