One of the first things an addict should do when entering treatment is to abstain from using illicit drugs completely. Depending on the length of time that the person has been using, the addict may have to go through alcohol or drug withdrawal. Fortunately, detox doesn’t have to be done alone, and withdrawal symptoms can be managed medically in an inpatient or outpatient setting. While detox may be uncomfortable, it is not life-threatening. Detoxification allows the addict to rid the body of all traces of drugs or alcohol and gives the addict a clean slate for their recovery.
Inpatient treatment for alcoholism or drug addiction is an option that provides the addict with a supportive environment in which they can stop using. After detox, an inpatient treatment center provides a structured environment for the addict to recover from their addiction and begin taking steps toward a lifetime of sobriety.
This type of treatment is appropriate for addicts that are most in need of intensive care and supervision. This includes those who were unable to quit on their own, those who need more structure than they can get in outpatient treatment, and those whose addiction has led them into legal trouble or severe health problems.
The Intensive Outpatient Program offered by Griffin Hospital - Dual Diagnosis is designed for those who need intensive care but would rather get it in the comfort of their own home. The treatment programs vary in duration and intensity and can be tailored to suit the patient’s needs. The program includes regular visits to the facility, though the overnight stay is not needed. IOP is suitable for patients who have been treated in residential treatment programs and are in the transition phase. It helps the patient live at home and discharge some work or school responsibilities even while undergoing treatment.

Outpatient treatment is often used for drug addicts in drug rehab. Outpatient treatment consists of counseling and therapy sessions. This form of treatment is also called ‘day-treatment’. The outpatient treatment process begins with the addict’s initial detox period, lasting about ten days.
Outpatient treatment is used for those who are at moderate risk for ‘slipping back’ into the addiction, for those who:
- Are not currently experiencing any side effects from withdrawal and can handle social pressure
- Can handle stressors that might trigger relapse
- Have a stable living environment or have moved out of their previous environment, which was not conducive to being sober
- Have a support system that allows them to go to a facility a few times a week while still keeping their current responsibilities
- Have no legal obligations, being either on parole or probation, that require them to seek treatment at a mandatory facility
- Are not currently experiencing any side effects from withdrawal and can handle social pressure
- Have a stable living environment or have moved out of their previous environment, which was not conducive to being sober
Therapies & Programs
