Why Should I Consider Outpatient Treatment?

What is the difference between inpatient and outpatient rehab?

At Hazelden Betty Ford, outpatient treatment is built with the same clinical principles, practices and expertise as residential treatment. From diagnosis to integrated addiction/mental health treatment services to recovery resources and support, our outpatient programs provide you with proven-effective, whole-person care.

Treatment begins with a comprehensive assessment/diagnosis and medically managed detox (if needed). Your care includes one-to-one counseling, group therapy and educational sessions, incorporating evidence-based treatment practices such as dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), medication-assisted therapies, Twelve Step facilitation and more

Is my family part of my outpatient rehab?

Yes, your family's involvement can be important to your healing process—and theirs. Addiction and other mental health challenges can take a big toll on relationships, so there's plenty of healing to happen all around. That's why our uniquely designed family and children's programs, support groups and counseling/coaching services provide education and support to everyone in your family. Many of our family offerings are free, and most are available virtually so you and your family can easily access help and support wherever you are.

How long does outpatient treatment take for alcohol or other drugs?

Program length is based on your individual goals and clinical progress rather than a set timeline. We offer multiple levels of outpatient care for you to choose from, according to your individual needs, challenges and strengths.

How much does outpatient treatment cost?

Most outpatient addiction and mental health treatment programs are covered by insurance, so the cost of treatment at Hazelden Betty Ford is based on your insurance plan and your out-of-pocket responsibilities.

Our admissions team can work with you to figure out your specific costs.
