Benefits of choosing drug rehab partial hospitalization program in Boston

Recovering from substance abuse and drug addiction is a big and important step towards your well-being. When we consider addiction treatments, there are many options and alternatives available, but each of these has its pros and cons. Depending on a patient’s medical history and abuse condition, this healing journey can be overwhelming and can take a toll on your body. Also, not all kinds of treatments work best for all situations. Each of these treatments may have different methodologies, duration, cost and efficacy for different addictions. So, understanding these programs before committing to one can help you make an informed decision and make your treatment comfortable.

In Greater Boston Addiction Centers offer partial hospitalization treatments which are gaining prominence amongst patients. Let’s understand how PHP is different from inpatient and outpatient programs, and why it might be a good choice for you.

What are partial hospitalization programs?

Most drug rehabilitation programs are designed as outpatient or inpatient mode depending on the severity of the addiction. This means that the patient can either stay at the facility or choose to receive the treatments while staying at home. PHP offers a more dynamic approach which brings the best of both options, thus offering more flexibility for both patients and medical staff. In this mode, the patients can receive the necessary care under medical supervision while maintaining their routine and staying with their families. 

Flexibility and independence for patients

In general, the standard addiction treatment programs are designed in a specific way and adapted by professionals for individual needs. PHP takes it a step further and allows the treatments to specific needs of the patient from a medical and non-medical standpoint. One of the key benefits of the partial hospitalization program is that the individuals do not have to stay at the facility for prolonged durations. But at the same time, they can get the same attention and care when required for their treatment. Thus, allowing them to maintain their daily routines and cater to their responsibilities

Access to tailored treatment plans

Since the PHP treatments are flexible and dynamic, the medical staff can tailor the recovery plan around the specific needs of the patients. Since these programs often require a comprehensive medical evaluation, they can help build a holistic profile for the patient. This includes assessments to identify underlying issues, treatment priorities and also their effects on your routine. This serves as a great feedback loop as it can enable the physicians to assess how your daily activities affect your addiction and vice versa.

Comprehensive therapy and aftercare medical assistance

In Greater Boston Addiction Centers, similar to inpatient and outpatient programs, PHP treatments also include various therapy and support services. These services address various aspects of the addiction recovery lifecycle like physical and emotional counseling, dealing with psychological issues and supporting mental health. Moreover, the participants can engage in individual and group therapy,  as well as specialized skill development sessions for personal upliftment.

Since the partial hospitalization treatment plan operates in a decoupled hybrid model, transitioning to aftercare is often seamless. Throughout the treatment, the recovery team can help the patient work on their schedule, therapy needs and how the external factors affect the patient. Aspects like community resources, support groups and continuity of care is the core part of a PHP treatment design. Therefore, the post-recovery phase of the treatment or aftercare plans would be very much similar, allowing for a much smoother transition.

Cost considerations

No doubt committing to an addiction recovery treatment comes with a considerable financial aspect. Across various kinds of treatments and therapy options, residential treatment programs can be covered by health insurance. Without health insurance the cost for addiction treatment can be costly. With the flexibility of partial hospitalization options, the costs of the treatment can be optimized and would be relatively lower than other plans. Compared to a resident program, patients can avoid huge costs of round-the-clock care and monitoring. And the fact that PHP treatments are organized at the center in a controlled safe space, the patients still receive the same support and medical care. Thus making these programs more affordable and adaptable to the needs of families and individuals.

Since partial hospitalization programs take the best of inpatient programs, all medical treatments receive the same attention. All phases of the treatment including detoxification, health assessments, therapy and workshops are provided under medical supervision. All while offering you the freedom to return to your routine and address personal commitments.
