Multiple levels of care comprise addiction recovery treatment. The most structured and comprehensive is residential treatment. Choosing a residential treatment center can seem overwhelming when you look at nothing but the prospect of stepping away from your life for several months at a time, but doing so brings better benefits over a lower level of care.
Levels of Care
Residential or inpatient care is designed as a full-time treatment option. With this level of care, you reside at the treatment facility. You will be expected to follow a strict daily schedule during your time there. Having a reliable schedule with regular therapy sessions and services helps you build structure into your life and develop life skills and coping skills you can apply long after treatment.
Outpatient care is designed as a lower level of care intended for people who have already completed a residential program or have mild symptoms. Where residential care focuses heavily on individual therapy and a personalized approach, outpatient care focuses more on group sessions.
Why Choose a Residential Treatment Center
There are many reasons to get personalized help, but why choose a residential treatment center for your personalized help? With residential treatment centers, you get significantly more benefits compared to traditional outpatient centers, like personalized treatment, better amenities, and a wider array of services.
More Personalized Treatment
Individuals struggling with addiction need individualized service. Personalized treatment can be an integral part of recovery. Addiction affects everyone uniquely, and outpatient programs fall short of the personalized level of care many people need at the start of their recovery.
Choosing a residential treatment center allows you more individual therapy sessions compared to an outpatient program that focuses heavily on group therapy sessions. With individual sessions, you have the opportunity to explore things that may have contributed to your addiction, review any personal triggers, and practice coping mechanisms that work for your situation.
By staying at a residential treatment center for several months, you can continue working with the same care team, including the same therapists. This is beneficial for clients and therapists alike because it affords both people the opportunity to develop a personal working relationship with one another:
- The therapist has a chance to get to know you personally and better understand your circumstances, which helps to provide more individualized care.
- You get to build a trusting relationship with your medical team, including your therapist, and speak honestly about yourself, your upbringing, your mental health, and anything else that might help you in your recovery.
Better Services
Residential centers can offer dual diagnosis services that some outpatient centers cannot. When choosing a residential treatment center, you have access to a wider array of amenities. Facilities like Liberty House can give you a relaxing environment that is conducive to Inner Peace and tranquility. Not every client has that type of environment at home.
Moreover, when choosing a residential treatment center, you also have access to more therapeutic services and holistic modalities compared to many outpatient programs. Outpatient programs tend to focus on group sessions, so you might participate in group Twelve Step meetings or group cognitive behavioral therapy sessions, but with residential programs, you can participate in group or individual services like:
- Yoga
- Mindfulness
- Experiential therapy
- CBT
- Group Therapy
- Family Therapy
