About Outpatient Rehab Treatment
Addiction treatment has a wide spectrum of treatment options, with varying levels of intensity. Rehab levels of treatment can range from the highly structured setting of inpatient rehabilitation, the balanced offerings of oversight and autonomy in partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs, to minimally supervised treatment in ongoing outpatient programs.
Outpatient rehab is designed for people whose needs for oversight and intensive structure are relatively low. Outpatient treatment for drug or alcohol addiction usually involves clients living at home or in sober living housing and commuting to a rehab center during the day for medical and counseling support several times a week.
The decreased need for acute care means that outpatient rehab costs are significantly lower than inpatient or residential treatment. The specific cost of outpatient rehab depends on the services an individual needs. Many insurance plans cover some or all outpatient rehab services. While some people can begin their treatment and recovery journey with outpatient treatment, it’s more common that they begin with inpatient or residential rehab and then move into an outpatient program when they’re ready.
Benefits of Outpatient Rehab
Outpatient treatment offers unique benefits for someone who’s ready for it. If you don’t have stable housing or are not ready to return to aspects of your daily life, you should start in a higher level of care first.
If you are ready for outpatient rehab, benefits include:
- There’s a high level of flexibility.
- You may be able to begin working or go back to your job or school.
- Outpatient rehab is less expensive than inpatient treatment.
- You won’t have to spend time away from your supportive family and loved ones.
- You can begin to test the skills you’ve learned for your recovery, but you still have a sense of a safety net.
- There’s social support through participation in group sessions.
- Outpatient rehab offers a smoother transition to your long-term recovery than going straight from inpatient care back to your daily life.
Topics Covered in Outpatient Rehab
While everyone’s treatment plan will be tailored to their unique needs, there are often key topics covered in outpatient rehab. Relapse prevention and applying the skills you learned in earlier treatment levels are two of the most common areas covered in outpatient rehab.

- Struggles in early recovery
- 12-step programs and success
- Relapse prevention and dealing with cravings
- Mental health
- Stress management
- Family systems
- Rebuilding relationships
- Developing healthy habits
- Returning to school or work
