Comparing Littleton Recovery Programs
A comparison of Littleton drug rehab programs will prove to you that there’s more than one way to overcome a dependence on drugs or alcohol. Whether you decide to seek treatment at a day center or a residential rehab community, the most important thing is that you’ve taken that first step toward a clean, sober life. As you review your treatment options in Littleton, a large suburb of Denver, Colorado, think about your recovery goals and what it will take to help you avoid a relapse in the future.
The Difference Between Inpatient and Outpatient Rehabilitation
At an inpatient rehab facility, you’ll receive intensive monitoring as you go through the detoxification process to remove alcohol, heroin, cocaine or prescription opioids from your system. You’ll then go through therapy and counseling in a controlled, focused environment, where you may stay from 30 to 90 days. At an outpatient recovery clinic, you may receive counseling, group therapy and medication management for your addiction. With outpatient treatment, you can continue to work and take care of your family as you go through recovery.
