Outpatient and inpatient are two different types of treatment settings for addiction recovery. Outpatient treatment allows individuals to continue living at home while attending therapy sessions and participating in other recovery activities. Inpatient, or residential, treatment involves staying at a facility for an extended period of time while receiving round-the-clock care. For this reason, IOP is typically less intensive than residential treatment, allowing you to attend sessions while still maintaining your daily responsibilities. This can be especially beneficial for individuals who cannot take extended time off from work or family obligations. Depending on your specific needs, our admissions team will help you enter the best treatment setting for you.
