Benefits of Outpatient Addiction Treatment

At River Oaks, we have different types of outpatient programs designed to meet the needs of each patient. Outpatient drug and alcohol rehab programs may be ideal for people who do not require 24-hour supervision, such as those who either don’t need medical detox or have completed it already.

Attending an outpatient addiction treatment program offers flexibility and allows a person to continue to fulfill their day-to-day responsibilities at work or home while in recovery.

Whether outpatient rehab is the starting point for your recovery or a step down from an inpatient program, our Florida rehab facility has a level of care that meets you where you are.

Our Outpatient Treatment Programs

Outpatient treatment offerings at our drug and alcohol rehab in Florida include partial hospitalization programs (PHP) and intensive outpatient programs (IOP).

Our partial hospitalization program involves all-day treatment that closely resembles inpatient programming but without overnight care. At this level of rehab, patients attend structured treatment 20-30+ hours each week.

The intensive outpatient program is a step down from the PHP and involves fewer hours in treatment. At the IOP level, patients attend 3-hour blocks of treatment sessions 3-5 days a week.

Frequently Asked Questions

Outpatient Treatment
What does outpatient addiction treatment entail?
Outpatient rehab at River Oaks is a form of addiction treatment in which patients visit the facility multiple times a week for several hours or more of treatment which includes evidence-based forms of behavioral therapy, psychoeducation, and peer support. Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) may be used when necessary to treat persistent cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
What’s the difference between inpatient and outpatient rehab for addiction?
Both inpatient and outpatient rehab use many of the same evidence-based forms of treatment; however, inpatient care requires you to stay at the facility 24/7 to participate in all-day programming, which may include groups, meetings, and classes, as well as recreational activities and personal time for reflection.
What’s the difference between standard outpatient, IOP, and PHP for addiction treatment?
Outpatient treatment has various forms. The main difference between these types of treatment is their time-intensiveness:

  • Standard outpatient care may only involve 1 or 2 outpatient visits per week (or only as often as needed).
  • Intensive outpatient programs (IOPs) provide a minimum of 3 days of treatment per week for at least 3 hours a session.
  • The partial hospitalization program (PHP) at River Oaks involves treatment 5 days a week in 6-hour session blocks.
At River Oaks, our treatment team will work with you to determine the appropriate level of care for your individual needs.
What happens after the outpatient portion of rehab?
Everyone’s path to recovery is different. Many people that complete outpatient rehab benefit from a continuing care program such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), Narcotics Anonymous (NA), or other forms of peer support. Case managers at River Oaks will ensure you’re set up for success before you leave outpatient rehab, facilitating connections with community programs, recovery groups, and your fellow alumni.
How long does outpatient rehab last?
Everyone has different needs in addiction treatment, and the ideal duration of treatment should be tailored to address these needs, whether that means short-term rehab, 30-day rehab, or long-term addiction treatment. Research has shown that treatment is more likely to be effective when it lasts an adequate amount of time, and for most people that means 90 days or more. If you are treated for 90 consecutive days at River Oaks (at any level of care or combination of treatment types), you’ll qualify for our brand promise. This means you may be able to receive a supplemental 30-day treatment program at River Oaks or another American Addiction Centers facility should you suffer a relapse.
How do I start outpatient addiction treatment?
Contact a River Oaks admissions navigator at to start treatment as soon as possible. Admissions navigators are standing by 24/7 to answer questions about treatment and guide you through the process of getting insurance to cover rehab. Upon admission to River Oaks, staff will perform an evaluation before outlining a treatment plan specifically tailored to your needs.
Can anyone start addiction treatment at the outpatient level?
While outpatient addiction treatment can be a beneficial starting place for many people, it may not offer adequate support in certain cases. If a person is actively using alcohol, benzodiazepines or sedatives, or opioids, inpatient care would be more appropriate. Inpatient addiction treatment provides 24/7 medical supervision and compassionate withdrawal management. After detox, a person may transition to residential treatment or an outpatient program depending on their individual needs.
When is admission to outpatient addiction treatment recommended?

Every person’s addiction treatment needs vary. However, outpatient addiction treatment programs may be recommended for individuals who have already completed a medical detox and/or residential treatment and require less intensive programming. Outpatient programs may also be an option for those who have struggled with their use of the following substances:

  • Stimulants (cocaine, meth, amphetamines, etc.)
  • Hallucinogens (cannabis, salvia, LSD, etc.)
  • Inhalants (whippets, solvents, nitrous oxide, etc.)
Why would initial admission to an outpatient level of addiction treatment not be recommended?
Initial admission to an outpatient level of addiction treatment may not be recommended for people using certain substances. This is because detoxing from these substances can pose several medical risks. An outpatient program does not offer the 24/7 care and medical oversight that an inpatient program does. To ensure a person’s safety, anyone suffering from active addiction to alcohol, benzodiazepines or sedatives, opioids, or a combination of these substances, will typically not be referred to an outpatient addiction treatment program.
Do you need to abstain from drugs and alcohol to attend outpatient treatment at River Oaks?
Yes, patients attending outpatient addiction treatment at our Florida drug and alcohol treatment facility are required to abstain from all substances to be in a River Oaks rehab program.
