Outpatient Rehabs

Outpatient rehabs are programs that offer treatment for addiction, alcohol problems, and mental health issues. In Los Angeles there are several outpatient settings and each of these will offer various treatment approaches, i.e., some will treat both mental and behavioral health issues – and some focus merely on substance abuse and alcoholism problems. Depending on which type of outpatient rehabilitation you are seeking there are a few simple questions to ask to determine which types of outpatient treatment will be most advisable for your situation.

Substance Abuse vs. Mental Health Treatment

The easiest way to begin to determine which type of outpatient rehab is necessary is to gain a basic understanding of the issues treated.

Substance Abuse Support

In a substance abuse outpatient program the focus of treatment will be “recovery” related. In other words, the process will center on the idea of abstinence and usually the 12-step construct. This means that the clinical focus will be simple, targeted, and pretty effective – that is – if you have a primary substance abuse problem. Substance abuse is a broad term, so it doesn’t matter whether you are abusing alcohol, drugs, or prescription medications, an outpatient substance abuse rehab will be able to treat ANY type of substance abuse issue.

Mental Health Treatment

In a mental health oriented outpatient rehab, the focus of treatment will be geared towards “psychiatric” issues. In other words, the process will target the psychological and psychiatric issues that often accompany a substance abuse problem. There are some outpatient rehabs that offer mental health treatment even if there aren’t any substance abuse issues present. Although the term “psychiatric” can seem scary, it’s really not. Mental health problems range from simple depression and anxiety disorders, to serious issues such as personality disorders and schizophrenia. Regardless of the level of psychological or psychiatric severity, outpatient rehabs can often help stabilize and support individuals with a range of mental health issues.

Integrated Outpatient Rehab 

In the integrated model of care, both addiction and co-occurring disorders are treated simultaneously. This type of outpatient rehabilitation is often referred to as “dual diagnosis” treatment. Most programs in Los Angeles don’t offer the integrated model of care, but a few do. For more information about dual diagnosis treatment visit Dual Diagnosis Outpatient.
