What are the benefits of outpatient treatment?
Outpatient treatment allows clients to live at home, which means that they can receive the regular support of family and friends. It also ensures that clients learn recovery skills and develop in their sobriety safely in their own environments and communities. Outpatient treatment also allows clients to remain employed/in school, so that they can continue to care for themselves. The costs associated with effective outpatient treatment are much lower than inpatient treatment, and reduce the need for (costly) hospitalization. Outpatient treatment is safe, effective, evidence-based, and often an excellent alternative to more intensive levels of care.
