What is Outpatient Drug Treatment?

Outpatient drug rehabs offer people struggling with substance abuse a flexible and effective way to receive the support and care they need to overcome addiction to drugs or alcohol and face mental health issues. Intensive outpatient programs, or IOP, include individual therapy, group counseling, educational sessions, and medication management, all tailored to meet each client’s unique needs during rehab while fostering a sense of community.  

Unlike an inpatient program, outpatient drug and alcohol treatment allows clients to live at home and continue with their daily responsibilities, such as work, school, and family obligations, while still working on drug detoxification, attending therapy sessions, and receiving substance abuse treatment.

The outpatient drug rehab approach is important because it allows the person to integrate the tools and coping mechanisms learned in therapy into their daily lives, making it more likely for them to sustain their sobriety in the long run and reduce the chances of relapse.

What is Continuing Care?

Continuing care for addiction treatment refers to the ongoing support and resources provided to individuals who have completed a formal addiction treatment program. It encompasses a continuum of care offering a range of services designed to help individuals maintain their sobriety and prevent relapse over the long term.

Hawaii Island Recovery provides a variety of continuing care services available to you each week that build upon your residential treatment experience. Each of these premium aftercare services helps you practice new skills, make great choices, and create a recovery network on which you can rely.  

We tailor our outpatient drug treatment and continuing care program for ongoing success through services such as:  

  • Consultations with Addictionologist
  • Psychotherapy sessions
  • Individualized support services
  • Individual and group therapy sessions
  • Random drug/alcohol monitoring
  • Peer and family support
  • Life skills education
  • Outpatient therapy
  • Coaching focused on recovery and preventing relapse
  • 12-Step meetings and fellowship
  • Medication management
  • Case management.

Our long-term care services also address the economic, social, and familial concerns that might arise following rehabilitation. This model of care and therapy emphasizes coordination among health professionals, the patient, and their families to promote optimal health outcomes and quality of life. The goal is to provide integrated and personalized attention that considers all aspects of a patient’s drug detoxification journey and well-being.

Continuing care also plays a major role in addressing any underlying issues or co-occurring mental health conditions that may contribute to addictive behaviors—such as triggers. Through ongoing therapy and counseling, individuals who have completed outpatient addiction treatment programs and alcohol rehab can integrate the necessary tools and resources to manage daily challenges effectively. We can also help you with critical activities and skills such as drafting a resume, getting a job, managing finances, completing education, and balancing work and family life to ensure a successful recovery journey. 

The Outpatient Program at Hawaii Island Recovery

Our Outpatient Program and Aftercare Support at Hawaii Island Recovery offer a far-reaching and integrated approach to addiction treatment for people seeking flexible options for recovery. Our outpatient drug treatment program is designed to provide high-quality care and support to those who do not require round-the-clock residential treatment but still need structured guidance and therapy to overcome substance abuse issues.    

The native Hawaiians, unmatched in their abilities as seafarers, were renowned for navigating thousands of miles by the stars and heavenly bodies. These stories humble us. As we look up into the canopy of lights that reflect off the surface of the sea at night, we consider our voyage to be one of recovery and discovery. When we recover, we unlock life—things great and small, waters scary and smooth, moments transporting and annoying. We have to learn how to live life on life’s terms.  

Our continuing care programs and outpatient drug and alcohol treatment are geared toward making the next step out of residential treatment and back into the excitement and hurdles of your new future. It’s the best way of ensuring that the growth you experience here allows you to arrive at your desired destination. At Hawaii Island Recovery, we don’t take chances when we set out for tomorrow—we always bring a navigator.  

Before recovery, thinking of what lay ahead may have been unpleasant. We had the quiet resignation and doubt of someone who had lost freedom. Only a tomorrow where we have the liberty to live how we choose to live, not how we must live, will do.

Our goal in outpatient drug treatment is to bring back the joy of planning for the future by providing everything needed for today’s strong recovery. With our continuing care program, you will have access to a whole host of resources, specialists, and coaches that are there for you step by step through that critical period of early sobriety.

A Personalized Map to Freedom

In essence, continuing care is the completion of one’s treatment plan—the map that has been with them through their time here at Hawaii Island Recovery. When you join us, you receive comprehensive assessments and evaluations that help us understand the issues and struggles from your point of view.  

Your assessment information gathered at the beginning of the outpatient drug rehab is invaluable in getting to know you as a human being, not just as a client. It brings us closer to the ultimate goal: treating you as a whole person. The individual information gathered is used to make a personalized program that outlines your healing goals and the care provided during your time with us.  

Outpatient treatment and aftercare goals draw from some of the following areas essential to a solid recovery, such as:  

  • Relapse Prevention
  • Stress Management
  • Emotional Stress/Trauma
  • Family Systems 
  • 12-Step Groups
  • Social Life Skills

Each of these can be considered a checkpoint on the journey to freedom. This approach offers a personalized map to freedom tailored to your unique needs and circumstances. Through a combination of therapy, counseling, and support services, participants in outpatient drug and alcohol treatment are guided on a journey toward healing and long-term sobriety.

A Day-to-Day Approach

One key to our successful program is recognizing that each day will have its own set of challenges, anxieties, and opportunities for wins. We operate on a day-to-day approach that helps you stay flexible and adapt to changing circumstances. Instead of being overwhelmed by the big picture, you can concentrate on what needs to be done today, which can reduce stress and anxiety during outpatient drug treatment. Additionally, working on tasks incrementally daily can boost your motivation and confidence as you see tangible results over time.  

Our intensive outpatient program allows participants to maintain daily routines and responsibilities and offers a balanced approach to recovery that is sustainable and empowering. Ultimately, the personalized nature of the outpatient program empowers individuals to take control of their lives and pave their path to freedom from addiction and substance abuse.

There will be events, some planned for and some not, happening at the speed of life outside. Taking full advantage of our continuing care program means doing everything you can to stack the deck for success in your new life. It means having a seasoned navigator by your side and the clearest skies at night to sail by.

The Support You Need on the Journey to Sobriety

For most people in recovery, their addiction was a behavioral pattern established over many years. As such, the lifesaving skills you can learn and put into action also don’t crystallize overnight. It’s a long journey either way. Allow us to help you make your trip one of freedom, serenity, and self-realization.  

The first year of recovery is the most important one. No action is wasted when trying to ensure safe passage through it. There is a world of unknowns for which you can only prepare and tackle as they come, such as drug withdrawal and cravings. Getting clean can be difficult, and living in recovery might cause you to wonder who you are without drugs or alcohol. Here is a chance to write a new chapter while gaining clarity about who you are.   

Engaging in continuing care after outpatient drug treatment is the perfect way to build a healthy, sober life. We have skills and solutions, from building a support network to teaching relapse prevention skills and helping with employment, school, finances, family, and relationships. If it comes up in sobriety, someone on our team can teach you to address substance abuse and relapse prevention with honesty and integrity. If you or a loved one is seeking help for mental health or substance-related issues or interested in learning more about our continuing care, call Hawaii Island Recovery at (866) 390-5070.

Substance Abuse Assessment

Hawaii Island Recovery uses a thorough Diagnostic Assessment. This multidimensional evaluation, along with other nationally recognized screening instruments such as the DAST-20, AUDIT, CAIG-AID, and PHQ-9, are utilized to assist in determining the appropriate level of care in substance abuse treatment and the need for treatment of co-occurring mental health disorders.   

If you need a Substance Abuse Assessment as a Stand-Alone Service, call our admission line and inquire about scheduling an appointment. Assessments can be done in person or via telehealth on platforms like Zoom.
