Inpatient Treatment
Inpatient rehabilitation programs are live-in solutions that offer medication assisted detox, medical assistance, treatment planning, nutritional support, and access to various types of counseling and psychological support. Programs of this type are ideal for those in the early stages of recovery for opioid addiction who often struggle with relapse and treatment engagement.
Inpatient programs typically last for 30-90 days. When in an inpatient treatment, patients have less freedom than in other types of rehabilitation programs. They are for example, expected stay on the premises, limited to what they can bring with them, and live in a highly structured environment.
Outpatient Treatment
Part of the continuum of care, outpatient programs are a long-term solution for those who have gone through detox or inpatient rehab.
In outpatient treatment, individuals continue to receive weekly counseling, clinical support for mental, health and treatment planning but in a flexible format with a low hourly commitment (generally 4 hours a week for a few days a week).

For OxyContin users who need additional resources, intensive Outpatient rehab (IOP) offers education, community resources, workshops and counseling. They also place more emphasis on individualized treatment planning.
Unlike basic outpatient programs, IOPs tend to be more engaging and require a sizable weekly commitment. In a typical situation, an IOP program coordinator, might start a person off at 9 hours a week. These weekly commitments are often subject to change– usually contingent on a person’s progress and needs. IOP weekly commitments can range anywhere from 6-20 hours a week.
