As you’re exploring options for treatment, whether for you or a loved one, you are likely to discover all different types of rehab centers. While you can’t lump all similar centers together, you can learn some information about them based on how they identify. You will often find that centers fall into one of three categories, and these categories can overlap:
- Inpatient
- Outpatient
- Specialty program
If you choose an inpatient facility, you will live at the rehab center for a designated period of time. These programs can have an array of components to them. You may participate in different artistic activities, meet with your peers, attend therapy in group individual and group settings and so forth. Once you are finished with the inpatient program, you can then choose to enroll in an outpatient program to continue with your treatment.
Outpatient programs are available after the completion of an inpatient program or independently. With these programs, you do not live at the facility. Instead, you may stay in your home or neighborhood and attend treatment on a regular basis near you. Speaking with a counselor is a smart way to determine if inpatient or outpatient treatment is the right answer.
Specialty Types of Rehab Centers
You may also find that the treatment program specializes in a particular area or takes a specific approach to helping you recover. For example, some programs are based on particular faiths, religion as a whole or general spirituality. You may also enroll in a program that emphasizes art therapy, athletics and fitness programs to help you recover or socialization with peers. Some programs may use specific types of therapy to help you learn how to tackle your addiction.
These programs can come in both outpatient and inpatient forms, so you will have a few choices to make. You do not need to attend a program that specializations in a certain type of treatment. Instead, you can select one that combines different techniques to best serve you.
Understanding the different types of rehab programs is useful as you’re gathering research. However, it is not a task that you are required to complete without assistance. You can speak with a representative at any time by calling 844-903-2111. By doing so, you can get a better sense of what type of treatment program is the right one for you and your needs. Simply knowing that there’s a right program out there is empowering.
