There are millions of women and men who have found themselves caught up in the, seemingly, never-ending cycle of alcohol and drug addiction. It may start small- a drink or two after work, a few pain pills to ease an old back injury, or a line to make a night with friends even better. The prescription medication may have even been prescribed by a doctor to treat an injury short-term, but the initial problem turned into long-term addiction.
Alcohol is one of the most commonly abused substances in the world. Worst of all, it is also a legal substance that is found on pretty much every corner. If you or someone you care for is suffering from alcohol abuse, outpatient rehab is the answer every time. Read on to learn why people choose outpatient alcohol rehab over inpatient services. When you are ready, call our center to make the proper arrangements for care.
You can work around your responsibilities
Inpatient rehab is a great option for those who have the time to take on the program. But time isn’t a luxury that everyone has. Outpatient rehab can work around your schedule, allowing you to keep up with your daily responsibilities. You may not be able to take time off of work to go into full-time rehab. Maybe you have children to care for or an elderly parent that needs your help every day. But since you still need professional treatment, outpatient alcohol rehab is the best choice possible in your situation. You’ll be able to work around your other responsibilities, allowing you the chance to get professional treatment for your alcohol addiction at the same time.
Insurance usually covers outpatient services
Let’s face it- rehab isn’t always an affordable option. Even if you have a great insurance plan, you may find that inpatient or residential programs aren’t even covered. Luckily, many insurance policies do cover inpatient rehab services for alcohol addiction. Talk to your provider to pinpoint the exact services they do cover and for how long. You’ll likely be pleasantly surprised to find out what you are permitted to do under your policy. Many policies offer a lot more than most people think.
You’ll pay less for services
Unfortunately, not every insurance policy covers rehab, even outpatient. You may not even HAVE insurance to begin with. So, what next? An outpatient rehab will often work with your budget. Some centers offer payment on a sliding scale; that is, they will adjust what you owe according to your income. You may be able to pay for a couple of treatment sessions per week on your own, or you could find additional financial help through your state. Whatever the case, outpatient alcohol rehab will always be less than an inpatient facility, making it the most affordable option out there.
It’s a lot more private
It’s okay if you aren’t quite ready to go public with your addiction just yet. In fact, you may be afraid that you will lose your job if you do admit it. Unfortunately, addiction still has a stigma surrounding it, even though medical professionals now classify it as a disease. Attending outpatient services will be an easier way to maintain your privacy while still receiving all the help that you need. Since you won’t have to take time off from work or school, and you can easily work around the classes that are offered, no one will be the wiser.
You’ll always receive excellent care
Every alcohol outpatient center offers competent, licensed professionals who are 100% committed to your sobriety. You’ll find social workers, psychiatrists, therapists, and addiction specialists working side-by-side within the alcohol outpatient facility you choose to attend. You’ll have the chance to receive one-on-one care while you are in rehab, as well as group and family therapy. Your care is in capable hands every day that you are there, even regarding any existing mental health disorders you may be suffering from.
