Outpatient treatment can guide some people through all stages of their recovery. However, some use outpatient treatment during the later stages of recovery.

The National Institute on Drug Abuse notes that drug treatment programs that last less than 90 days have limited effectiveness. In fact, 12 months of treatment is considered the minimum for opioid addiction, but many people benefit from longer treatment periods. For this reason, it is usual for people in recovery from opiate use disorder to attend short-term inpatient treatment programs but later transition into a longer-term outpatient treatment program.

Outpatient drug and alcohol treatment programs share many similarities with residential treatment programs, but in a differently structured environment. Outpatient programs provide more freedom of movement which allows you to maintain a regular commitment to family, work, and educational responsibilities. Because of the ability to go home after a daily or evening program, you are able to have a greater level of privacy and anonymity.
