Are you struggling with substance abuse? Do you know someone who struggles with addiction? Whether you’re looking to help yourself or someone you know, partial hospitalization for addiction treatment may be necessary. Since drugs and alcohol take a tremendous toll on both the mind and the body, treatment is necessary to heal. Furthermore, in severe cases, it’s difficult to treat psychological dependence until the individual spends time under close medical supervision.
So if you’re curious whether you or a loved one will need to undergo partial hospitalization treatment, you can learn more about the service below.
What Is Partial Hospitalization for Addiction Treatment?
Partial hospitalization treatment is a form of outpatient therapy for people struggling with substance abuse. Many individuals may require closer medical supervision than standard outpatient treatment provides. Therefore, in a partial hospitalization program, individuals undergo daily medical care. But they do not stay overnight at the treatment center. Often, this form of therapy is referred to as a day treatment program.
In many cases, patients who already completed a full medical detox transition into partial hospitalization treatment. So when patients no longer require constant supervision, day treatment provides a form of step-down therapy that still provides a high level of medical support.
What Does Treatment Entail?
In partial hospitalization for addiction treatment, you’ll participate in comprehensive recovery therapy. Physicians, addiction specialists, nurses, social workers, and therapists will work with you to deliver ongoing treatment. Further, depending on the program, services may include:
- Supervised detoxification and ongoing management of withdrawal symptoms
- Medication-assisted therapy to combat the physical symptoms of substance abuse
- Individualized behavior therapy to help you develop healthy habits
- Group counseling on relapse prevention, healthy coping mechanisms, team building, family education, and stress management
- Holistic therapies, including yoga therapy, fitness classes, music therapy, art therapy, and meditation training
- Aftercare planning for support groups, 12-step programs, counseling therapy, and sober living
Also, many partial hospitalization for addiction treatment programs include dual diagnosis treatment. This form of treatment may be necessary for people who have co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders. Because mental health problems and substance abuse disorders often play off each other, treating both conditions simultaneously offers sufferers the best chance at long-term success.
