Premiere NJ Outpatient Treatment

Rolling Hills Recovery Center Outpatient Program

Rolling Hills Recovery Center defines the Outpatient program as less than 9 hours a week of group therapy with a combination of monthly individual and family sessions depending on the client’s treatment plan and needs. Clients will be assessed using the six dimensions of ASAM Patient PPC-II to determine the appropriate level of care. This will be accomplished with the client’s self-report, needs, and the treatment team assessment. The clients’ sufficient progress towards individualized treatment plans will determine a graduation date and has shown independence from the treatment program.

This requires a defined relapse prevention plan for a healthy lifestyle and long-term abstinence from all mood-altering substances. The stay in the Outpatient Program is approximately four weeks to 6 months. Length of stay in the Outpatient Program may be extended depending on the client’s needs and objectives not met in their individualized treatment plan. Rolling Hills Recovery Center will utilize the NJSAMS database emphasizing the ASAM and Level of Care index, which will come from staff’s assessment and clients’ self-report to determine the appropriate level of care.

Understanding Outpatient Treatment

What is Outpatient Rehab?

When you’re ready to overcome your addiction, you’ll need to identify a rehab program that is right for you. However, you may quickly feel discouraged and confused if you don’t even know what to look for in a treatment program. Most addiction rehabilitation options are inpatient (residential) and outpatient programs. Inpatient treatment necessitates living on-site at the rehabilitation facility. Outpatient programs (OPs), on the other hand, do not.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy for drug and alcohol treatment. Depending on your unique circumstances, you may need various services and interventions, such as psychotherapy, medicine, medical care, and group therapy, delivered in different settings.

The following are the  most popular outpatient rehab options:

Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP): Treatments in partial hospitalization programs (PHPs) are designed for persons who need continuing medical supervision yet live in a stable environment. Participants in a PHP often meet in the facility for at least 4 to 6 hours daily for 3 to 5 days per week.

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs):

In comparison to regular outpatient programs, IOPs are more structured. IOP is effective for persons with mild to moderate alcohol or drug dependency. These programs provide a treatment plan with clearly defined, quantifiable goals to track progress. The effort and time commitment needed every week reduces when these targets are achieved.

IOP is a fantastic choice if you are serious about quitting alcohol and drugs but have to continue working to take care of your everyday responsibilities. An IOP may entail a few hours of psychotherapy, group and family counseling, relapse prevention education, experiential therapy, and participation in 12-step or equivalent recovery support groups multiple times each week. IOP is a combination of inpatient and OP programs in many dimensions. IOP, however, is less expensive than residential therapy. When insurance carriers don’t cover residential addiction treatment, an IOP program is a cheaper alternative that may help you get the help you need.

Continuing Care: Continuing care communities, such as AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) or NA (Narcotics Anonymous), provide ongoing support to assist people in sticking to their sober goals. The groups are usually led by a trained therapist and meet every week. Some continuing care circles are tailored to a particular gender or age range, while others concentrate on a specific rehabilitation area.

Standard Outpatient Programs (OP):

Participants in standard outpatient programs (OPs) generally meet for 1 to 2 hours daily, with an hour of individual therapy weekly.

An OP is the least intense therapy option. If you’re dealing with a modest drug abuse problem or have previously completed higher stages of care, this program may be quite valuable. Outpatient sessions are designed to fit around your usual commitments. Rather than having set therapy hours throughout the day, outpatient care enables you to participate in therapy at your convenience, such as in the evenings, early mornings before work, at lunchtimes, or on weekends.

Individual sessions in an OP often range between 30 min and an hour.

What types of therapies are available?

Outpatient Therapy Programs

Before commencing outpatient treatment, please inquire about the therapy options available and ensure you feel at ease with them. Pharmacological treatment, talk therapy, or a mix of the two are the standard features of outpatient treatments. However, behavioral therapy is a prominent treatment strategy since it teaches you essential skills to help you manage your addiction. Among the most critical behavioral treatment strategies include:

Contingency management is the appositive

Positive reinforcements encourage good conduct, such as adhering to treatment plans, attending therapy sessions, or taking prescription medicine as directed. Voucher-based systems are the most common, in which rewards accrue over time due to good conduct. These coupons may be used for various goods and services in the future.

Yoga therapy

Types of Therapies We Utilize

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Relapse prevention is the goal of this treatment, which teaches you about the causes and effects of your drug usage. Training on identifying when you’re most susceptible to drug usage is provided through this program. CBT  teaches you to apply your newly acquired coping skills to fight your addiction.

Motivational Interviewing

This kind of therapy aids you in exploring and resolving your doubts regarding the treatment you’re receiving. Addiction rehabilitation and self-motivation are the goals of this program.

Psychological Counseling

Individual psychotherapy focuses on reducing drug use and addressing challenging situations in one’s life, such as employment status, criminal dealings, and familial connections. On the other hand, group therapy may be beneficial in a community context since it allows for peer support and interaction. Group treatment is often based on 12-step programs like NA and AA.

Who Should Enroll in a Partial Day Program?

Many individuals have found success in overcoming their addictions via outpatient treatment. The following are the advantages of outpatient programs over an inpatient level of care:

Affordability

Because each rehab center offers various services and facilities, they all have varying prices. On the other hand, outpatient therapy is often far less expensive than residential treatment since fewer amenities and service hours are used. You are not confined to a facility throughout your treatment.

Flexibility

When in an OP, a patient must report to the rehab facility at certain times and days. Thus, they enjoy more freedom than patients receiving rehabilitation in a residential setting.

Ability to See Family & Friends

An outpatient treatment program allows you to stay at home and contact your loved ones. Many people benefit greatly from the care and encouragement they get from their families throughout recovery. Besides, It also helps a person continue to care for their family members, such as children and other vulnerable relatives, for whom they cannot find alternatives.

An outpatient recovery program has the following additional benefits:​

  • The ability to keep a job or go to school.

  • Reduce the amount of time needed.

  • Enhanced liberty.

  • Continual assistance and direction.

You’ll spend less each day, but you’ll still be receiving addiction therapy. Engaging in other areas of your life while you’re away from treatment is possible. It is a good choice if you have family members who need your attention or work that you can’t quit for an extended time. With your family and friends nearby, you’ll be able to get the help you need. In many cases, this might help repair family relationships and friendships that the effects of addiction have damaged.

There are numerous advantages to an outpatient program, but it isn’t for everyone. Take a closer look at how these programs operate and how they could be helpful to you.

When Is Outpatient Rehab the Best Choice?

Inpatient or residential therapy may be preferable if you have a severe alcohol or drug use disorder and a co-occurring mental disorder. 

On the other hand, outpatient rehabilitation is a viable alternative for you if:​

  • Have an ASAM-defined mild to moderate level of addiction.

  • Have just completed residential treatment and needs a reduction in the intensity of care.

  • You can benefit from solid, dependable assistance from family and friends.

  • You can’t take time off from work to attend a rehabilitation facility.

  • You are unable to pay for inpatient care.

Keep in mind that every outpatient program is different. Some programs may include psychiatric therapy to help with mental health difficulties, while others may treat a primary drug abuse condition.

What's the best treatment?

Is Inpatient or Outpatient Rehab Right for Me?

Before choosing between inpatient and outpatient therapy for drug or alcohol addiction, several considerations must be weighed. The severity of your drug addiction is one of the most significant factors. You may also be required to enroll in a particular program due to your insurance coverage. However, your selection may solely depend on your financial situation (affordability).

Some individuals do pretty well staying at home when it comes to treatment. For others, living in a residential facility provides the security, structure, and privacy they need. Much of this is influenced by where you choose to live.

Beginners to recovery sometimes need a break from their everyday routines and temptations to maintain abstinence. Residential therapy keeps you away from the things that make you vulnerable to relapse. That makes it simpler to maintain sobriety in the early stages of recovery. Another school of thought contends that everyday exposure to the actual world is essential for growing resilience in facing life’s hardships.

Community support services must be used as an outpatient or intensive outpatient program (IOP). It helps create community ties and fosters support for the organization’s future. Once you begin a residential recovery program, you will be cut off from your friends and family until the end of the treatment. This can be your best option for those needing to improve their coping and relationship-building abilities before socializing and community programming.

Residential or outpatient therapy depends mainly on the severity of your addiction. You may be ready to transition to an outpatient setting. However, physicians or therapists specializing in addiction therapy may send you to a residential treatment facility. Your drug or alcohol misuse interferes with your day-to-day activities, you have health issues, or you have been diagnosed with a co-occurring disorder. If so, you may be advised to seek residential treatment.

The Bottom Line

People who require drug addiction therapy but cannot leave their jobs, schools, or other commitments for a residential rehab facility might benefit significantly from outpatient programs.

The treatment centers that provide outpatient recovery programs are as distinctive as their services. But most give a defined number of hours of therapy and instruction daily. Although these programs are adaptable, their effectiveness depends on the individual’s commitment to rehabilitation.
