Every drug and alcohol rehab journey is unique. Today, across California, there are thousands of rehab programs designed to meet every person and community’s needs. Many people begin their journey with an inpatient program. After spending a month or more living in a rehab facility, they may transition to a sober living home or outpatient program. For those who are ready for more independence, outpatient drug and alcohol rehab integrates rehab with daily life.
At La Fuente Hollywood, our Southern California detox and recovery center serves the LGBTQ community at every stage of drug and alcohol rehabilitation. Call us 888.903.9898 or visit us online today to learn about our outpatient addiction treatment programs.
What Is Outpatient Rehab?
Unlike inpatient treatment, outpatient rehab doesn’t require clients to stay overnight. This type of rehab occurs in mental health clinics, doctors’ offices, and other community facilities that support drug and alcohol rehabilitation. Every outpatient program is different, but common services include:
- Group therapy
- 12-step programs
- Individual therapy
- Alumni programs
- Relapse prevention programs
- Coping strategies
- Drug and alcohol education programs
- Partial hospitalization programs
Outpatient programs offer people the flexibility of addiction support without leaving home for an extended period. For those with support from family and their local community, outpatient rehab is a great choice. Unfortunately, outpatient rehab can sometimes be less effective for those struggling with life stressors at work and at home. Most programs take 10-12 hours a week to complete over several months. Outpatient programs allow those in recovery to integrate coping strategies at their own pace.
Outpatient programs can last weeks, months, or years. Relationships with individual therapists, 12-step programs, and other ongoing counseling help manage sobriety throughout daily life. For many, outpatient programs provide the support to cope and adapt to life changes, no matter how big or small.
Why Choose an LGBTQ Outpatient Rehab Program?
Outpatient therapy is ideal for those ready for more autonomy in their recovery. It’s also an excellent choice for people looking to strengthen relationships in their local sober community. The LGBTQ community, unfortunately, faces high rates of drug and alcohol addiction. Cultural stressors like prejudice and bigotry can lead many to self-medicate. Those in the community struggling with substance abuse may feel isolated. Social pressures to use drugs or alcohol can make this worse. They may also struggle to rejoin their social community after recovery. LGBTQ outpatient drug and rehab programs can help community members support one another’s sobriety. These programs help build healthy habits that center on sober social lives and addressing addiction triggers. An LGBTQ rehab program provides a safe space for individual and community healing that fits into people’s daily lives.
Outpatient rehab often costs less than inpatient. It does not require patients to leave their homes and jobs for extended periods of time. This can often make rehab more financially feasible while still offering comprehensive support and care.
