Professional treatment increases your likelihood of beating an addiction to drugs or alcohol.
But inpatient rehab isn’t a fit for everyone. That’s why Maverick offers intensive outpatient rehab. It can be a more flexible way to get the help you need to move past addiction. Here’s a closer look at the treatment and how it can help.
What Is Outpatient Rehab?
The key difference between outpatient and inpatient rehab is where you live during treatment. With an inpatient program, you move into a rehab facility and stay there full-time until your program ends — typically within 90 days.
Outpatient rehab lets you continue living at home while getting treatment. You’ll spend your days at our facility, working with therapists and participating in other healing activities. But at night, you’ll be free to return home and sleep in your own bed. You’ll also typically get some days off of treatment in an outpatient program.
Generally, you’ll have access to the same forms of care in outpatient rehab that you would with an inpatient program. This makes outpatient treatment a viable strategy for defeating addiction.
Is Outpatient Rehab as Effective as Inpatient Treatment?
This is one of the most common questions we get from patients who are deciding between inpatient and outpatient care. The answer is that it depends on you and your living situation, among other factors.
Your treatment will be nearly identical regardless of whether you choose an inpatient or outpatient plan. This means outpatient care can be just as effective as inpatient treatment — but only if it’s a good fit for you.
Remember, outpatient treatment lets you go home at night. This gives you enough freedom to reach out to old contacts and potentially relapse. You wouldn’t have that option if you participated in an inpatient program instead.
That’s why we typically only recommend outpatient rehab to patients who have stable, supportive home environments. You need to be around people who help you stay sober at home — not contribute to problems that could lead to relapse.
If you aren’t sure whether you’re a good candidate for outpatient rehab, just reach out. Our addiction specialists can evaluate your situation and make a personalized recommendation based on the information you provide.
What To Expect During Outpatient Rehab
If you sign up for outpatient rehab, you’ll spend your days receiving different kinds of treatment designed to help you heal. This includes each of the following.
1-on-1 Therapy
The core of any rehab program is 1-on-1 therapy. This means working with an experienced addiction specialist who can help you understand the root causes of your addiction.
You’ll work together with your therapist to resolve past trauma, fix inaccurate views of the world, and move forward. This process will happen at whatever pace you feel comfortable with since the sessions are designed for your benefit alone.
Group-Based Work
You’ll also participate in different kinds of group therapy sessions during your time with Maverick Behavioral Health. Studies show that people in recovery who participate in group meetings tend to have better outcomes.
However, we don’t follow the traditional 12-step framework you may be used to. Our philosophy is based on years of experience in treating addiction. It could help you get more value out of your group sessions than you’re used to.
Holistic Healing
Finally, Maverick offers various forms of holistic healing as part of its outpatient rehab programs. These range from outdoor therapy sessions to group meditation and yoga classes.
The goal of these services is to unify the mind, body, and spirit in recovery. Studies show this helps patients get more value from their rehab experiences.
The Maverick Difference
If you think outpatient rehab is right for you, the next question is which treatment center you should use. There are plenty of options throughout Texas, but Maverick offers several advantages you should know about.
Expert Practitioners
First, our rehab programs are run by some of the region’s top addiction specialists. You’ll get to work daily with doctors who have spent a lifetime learning how to help patients move forward from addiction. This can help you get maximum value from the time you set aside to improve your health.
Personalized Care Plans
You’ll also enjoy a personalized treatment plan during your time with us. We base the treatments that you receive and how often you get them on your unique needs. This differs from many other facilities, which use a cookie-cutter approach not designed with you in mind.
Support at Every Level of Care
Finally, we offer treatment at every level of care — from initial medical detox to rehab and aftercare. This gives you the convenience of completing your entire recovery journey with a single treatment team and one philosophy. It can save you time and money while helping you get more from the team you spend with us.
Paying for Outpatient Rehab
We know that cost is a major consideration when deciding on a recovery plan. One of the advantages of outpatient rehab is that you don’t have to pay for a long-term overnight stay. Your only costs will be related to the treatment you receive, unlike with inpatient care.
Maverick also accepts insurance from most major providers. We can even verify your coverage for you, so you don’t have to. Just call us and tell us your plan details. Within a few hours, we’ll get back to you and let you know if we accept your insurance and how much you’d pay for outpatient rehab out-of-pocket.
