What Is Outpatient Rehab?
“In outpatient rehab, you’ll have scheduled appointments with our team of addiction treatment professionals, such as therapists, social workers, and doctors. You’ll attend treatment sessions at times that suit your schedule and then return home. This option offers flexibility and lower costs, but it also requires clients to take full responsibility for their sobriety outside of treatment.”

What You Can Expect in Outpatient Treatment
Following the initial treatment levels, individuals in recovery face heightened vulnerability to relapse during the first 1–3 months outside of medical care. Therefore, outpatient rehab at The Recovery Village Indianapolis is customized to each patient’s specific needs and can extend for up to three months.
Outpatient Rehab Emphasizes:
- Flexibility – Maintain family and work commitments while attending treatment sessions.
- Confidentiality – With less frequent visits, there’s minimal need to disclose treatment to others.
- Self-management – Navigate daily life while actively avoiding triggers and maintaining accountability.
- Community Support – Engage in external support groups like Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous for additional encouragement and guidance.
During outpatient rehab, individuals balance their daily responsibilities like work and family commitments while attending part-time therapy sessions at The Recovery Village Indianapolis. Depending on the severity of the addiction, therapy sessions may range from weekly appointments for mild cases to daily sessions for more entrenched addictions. However, regardless of treatment frequency, the focus remains on comprehensive care and support.
