Inpatient vs Outpatient Rehab: Which Treatment Is Right for You?
Compare residential vs outpatient rehab costs, success rates, and who benefits most from each level of care.
Choosing between inpatient and outpatient determines intensity, cost, and outcomes.
Inpatient (Residential) Rehab
- 24/7 care, structured, removes triggers
- 30-90 days, best for severe addiction, dual diagnosis, unstable home
- Includes detox, therapy, MAT, aftercare
Outpatient (IOP/PHP)
- PHP: 5-7 days/week, 6 hours/day without overnight stay
- IOP: 3-5 days/week, 3 hours/day; allows work/family
- Best for mild-moderate SUD, strong support at home

Days 1-7: Medical detox — vitals, comfort meds, counseling start. Weeks 2-4: Intensive therapy (CBT/DBT, trauma, group), MAT, wellness.
