how to treat
How to Treat Substance Abuse Disorders?
Treatment options for individuals who are struggling with drugs and alcohol will vary from person to person. Factors that are taken into consideration include the severity of the person’s symptoms, the number of symptoms, physical health concerns, mental health concerns, and what substances are being abused.
There are two main categories of addiction treatment; inpatient and outpatient care. Inpatient treatment options include detoxification and inpatient rehab programs. Inpatient treatment programs include a full day of structured treatment while you reside in the treatment center. The length of inpatient rehab programs can vary from 4 to 12 weeks, depending on your needs.
A variety of outpatient treatment options can be used during different stages of your recovery journey. Individuals who struggle with a severe substance use disorder may find themselves in a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), which will have a full day of treatment, similar to inpatient rehab. The key difference is that you would reside in your home or another sober environment. Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPS) are a short-term treatment option that can include 9 to 12 hours of group therapy each week. Routine outpatient treatment tends to be more personalized and can include group or individual therapy.
Both inpatient and outpatient treatment options can use group therapy, individual therapy, dual-diagnosis treatment, and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to support individuals working on their recovery. If you or a loved one have been struggling with a drug or alcohol addiction, you should consider addiction treatment in Los Angeles, CA. For individuals living in the surrounding area, ARTS IOP can provide you with outpatient treatment services that can be worked into your daily routine.
