What is the difference between inpatient and outpatient?
In addiction treatment, inpatient care (also called residential rehab) involves living at the facility full-time, typically for 28 to 90+ days, with 24/7 support and structured daily therapy. It's best for people with severe addiction, high relapse risk, or unstable home environments. Outpatient treatment allows individuals to live at home while attending scheduled sessions at a treatment center—ranging from a few hours per week (standard outpatient) to more intensive options like IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program) or PHP (Partial Hospitalization Program). Outpatient care is better suited for those with milder addictions, strong home support, or who are stepping down from inpatient treatment.
