Are you considering an outpatient treatment program for your substance use disorder? Maybe you’ve finished treatment and need a little extra support, or it could be that you want to recover from substance use in a way that fits within your schedule and allows you to stay with your family and help raise your children. There are many cases in which outpatient programs (OP) like the ones offered at Sierra Sage Recovery Services may be the right choice for your path towards recovery.
An outpatient treatment program is a viable option for both mild and severe dependency, along with relapse prevention handled by qualified professionals. So if you’re looking for an accessible method to build your toolkit and keep centered towards sobriety, contact Sierra Sage today at 833.922.2884 to learn more about our outpatient treatment.
What Is Involved in Outpatient Treatment?
How does our OP program differ from other forms of treatment, and what role does it play in relapse prevention? Many people associate rehab with residential treatment, which essentially pulls you from your life for thirty days or more to focus solely on your recovery. That is the right move for certain individuals who need that level of structure and support, but your case may be different.
Outpatient programs provide the care and insight of rehab without the cost or commitment of full hospitalization. Instead, you can meet at our center once or twice a week for group therapy and one-on-one work. For the rest of the time, you can continue living at home and fulfilling your work and personal responsibilities.
This is the right fit for many cases, especially those who are struggling with chronic relapse. We understand the level of discouragement one can feel when experiencing a relapse soon after treatment or if they’re cycling in and out of substance use. Our outpatient treatment program can anchor you to sobriety with support and understanding.
Facing Chronic Relapse
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, the relapse rate for substance use disorders is 40%-60%. So if you have fallen back to relying on a substance, you are far from a solitary case. There are so many professional, personal, and environmental triggers globally, and it can be hard to let go of a harmful coping mechanism that you’ve relied on for so long.
We at Sierra Sage will not judge you when you come to us for your outpatient services. In fact, you’ll find with us a group of like-minded individuals who understand the struggles you’re facing and are likely facing similar ones themselves.
It’s easy, almost reflexive, to spiral into self-deprecating and self-sabotaging thoughts surrounding your recovery. At Sierra Sage, we’ll try and reposition your mindset towards objectivity and healing. We’ll ask:
- What do you think went wrong?
- Where did your routine falter?
- What stressors did you experience?
- What shifted your mindset away from recovery?
We won’t ask this from the perspective of judging, rather observing your struggle and learning what you need to try again.
