Why Choose Outpatient Treatment: Because it Works
Outpatient Addiction Medicine in association with Psychiatric care supported by counseling and self help groups has proven very effective in the treatment of Alcohol and Drug Use Disorders. Outpatient care means you can attend office medical appointments, counseling sessions and support groups in your community during the day, and return to the supportive, caring arms of your family in the evening.
Multiple National Studies of “Out-Patient” Programs have consistently shown that they are very effective, and in fact are more successful than most Detox and Inpatient Rehabs.

Affordable
Outpatient care causes less financial stress because it costs significantly less than residential treatment counterparts, and you can continue to earn while getting treatment. Not worrying if you can afford care allows you to focus on recovery.
Work Friendly
Being at home means you can continue to work, continue to earn and not risk losing your job. This helps maintain a normal schedule, and decreases boredom, two very common causes of treatment failure. You can also maintain your privacy as there are no long unexplained work absences.
Near Your Support
Everyone needs the support of family and friends during recovery. Because care is close to home, your family can be more involved with your treatment team. This is good for you and for them.
Support Family Needs
Addiction is a family disease. Community based care provides an opportunity for all members of the family to have access to services they may need. Family can learn to deal with enabling and codependency and less commonly recognized co-addiction: the emotional, behavioral and physical consequences of a family member living with and loving an alcohol or drug user.
Near Your Triggers
The best way to change your Addiction “Trigger Responses” is to be around them. Then you can best put into practice, real life behavioral modification goals. You are near your stressors making them easier to identify and conquer; most importantly you gain confidence in your ability to deal with, the people, places, things, emotions and thoughts that are your triggers. There is no substitute for the real world.
