Outpatient Treatment
Burns Fortes Consulting (BFC) Outpatient service providers understand that addiction treatment is not just a one-step solution. Recovery is a long and challenging road. Every individual case is unique. While some patients require inpatient treatment, others may find that outpatient treatment may provide the best solutions for their specific needs.
If you are seeking treatment options for yourself or a loved one, it is crucial to learn all about outpatient treatment services and how they can assist in the journey of recovery and sobriety.
What is Outpatient Treatment?
Outpatient treatment is a service model that provides addiction treatment services without requiring patients to reside on-site. Here, outpatient treatment is part of our rehabilitation program. We allow patients to continue living at home and in the community while receiving treatment through SOAP, IOP or PHP. This type of program is ideal for individuals diagnosed with mild to moderate substance use or mental illness disorders, those who have completed inpatient treatment and need ongoing care.
Outpatient treatment offers the benefit of flexibility. They provide the opportunity to balance the recovery process with other personal responsibilities such as work, family, and school. Additionally, most outpatient programs are tailored to fit schedules and can be adjusted if necessary, ensuring that recovery remains a top priority.
Other Advantages
Outpatient treatment is affordable. Unlike inpatient treatment, which requires patients to pay for all expenses associated with living on-site, outpatient treatment allows patients to come in for their scheduled sessions and continue to move forward. This makes outpatient treatment both flexible and affordable than other services and more accessible for individuals who can’t afford inpatient treatment.
Additionally, BFC offers a variety of evidence-based theories, approaches and practices such as individual counseling, group therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and medication-assisted therapy from our master’s level clinicians LADC1, LICSW, LCSW, LMHC and other case managers and paraprofessional staff members. Our dedicated and professional staff coupled with these treatments and have proven to be effective in treating addiction disorders. Additionally, outpatient treatment centers also provide a range of other services such as life skills classes, wellness programs, and career counseling to help individuals achieve a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle post-treatment.
Is an Outpatient Treatment Center a One Size Fits All Solution?
Here at BFC, we know from experience that outpatient treatment is not for everyone. Individuals battling severe cases of addiction may need more intensive treatment, such as residential treatment, to overcome their addiction. Additionally, those with unstable living environments or individuals who require constant medical supervision may need more intensive treatment options.
