Learn all you can about the three types of recovery treatment plans available. Each type of plan has its pros and cons, but all three treatment types have the potential to be successful for those who want to recover. Remember: even if you’ve been to rehab a dozen times in the past, the thirteenth time you enter rehab may be the charm. Many patients re-enter rehab several times before they finally stop their misuse of substances, because stopping is really, really difficult for many people. It’s a true accomplishment, so don’t beat yourself up if you have to try again. By dusting yourself off and attempting to go through rehab again, you show the courage and determination you need to win the battle against substance use disorder for good.

Residential Treatment Programs

Partial Hospitalization Programs

Outpatient Treatment Programs

Each person’s experience is different when it comes to substance misuse patterns and home life. When considering a rehab program, you should determine your needs and the needs of any dependents you have when you decide which type of program to enter. Remember that a healthy partner or parent is the best partner or parent, and the sacrifice to become healthy is always worth it to your loved ones.
