Outpatient rehabs are often ideally suited for clients exiting intensive inpatient care, those who are medically stable, and those not at an elevated relapse risk. They also offer flexibility for clients who may be unable to leave their work or family to receive inpatient care. Many outpatient treatment centers provide a full suite of services, including recovery education, medication assisted treatment (MAT), and individual, group, and family counseling. Ancillary services, including peer coaching and vocational training, are widely available.

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) are designed to evolve with clients’ evolving needs. Most programs provide between nine and 20 hours of care weekly, with the frequency and intensity of treatment gradually decreasing as clients grow stronger and more stable in their recovery. Intensive outpatient rehabs specialize in myriad treatment modalities, including medication assisted treatment (MAT) for those in alcohol and/or opioid recovery, addiction counseling, recovery-focused life skills training, and evidence-based holistic care.
