Inpatient rehab treatments are intensive care facilities where patients sleep, eat, and live in the treatment facility throughout the rehabilitation process. Inpatient treatment centers have been proven to be more effective long-term because they provide you with around-the-clock care, a support community, and freedom from the temptation of buying or using again. It completely removes you from your unhealthy environment and gives you the time and space you need to heal and recover. 

Generally, inpatient rehab center activities involve: 

• Therapy sessions: Treating psychological damage from drug abuse and working through your emotions to get to the root cause of your addiction is one of the main goals of rehab. There are usually group therapy sessions, individual sessions, and sometimes even family therapy sessions to make sure you have a good support team for when you return to your normal life. Cognitive behavioral therapy and contingency management are often used by therapists during rehab because they are clinically proven to help patients change their addictive behaviors and destructive patterns.
• Relapse prevention: During your day-to-day life in rehab, you will learn how to cope with your cravings in order to prevent a relapse once you leave the facility. You will get into a routine of how to live a sober lifestyle and develop the habits you will need to continue living that way for the rest of your life. 
• Educational workshops and skill-building activities: In inpatient rehab treatment facilities, you will have the time you need to receive holistic care. Many rehab centers will provide educational classes and skill-building activities that will help you learn to repair the life and relationships you have outside of the facility. These classes and activities will teach you how and why addiction occurs, how to rebuild and maintain relationships, how to control extreme emotions, and how to promote good health in all your endeavors.
• Integrated treatment: More than 60% of those with substance use disorder also suffer from other co-occurring mental health conditions. Integrated treatment is the practice of treating both addiction and mental health conditions at the same time. When rehab facilities offer integrated treatment for co-occurring disorders, it means that your medical team will address both your addiction and your mental health disorders to provide the best treatment possible. You will learn to cope with both conditions and learn the tools you need to live functionally. 

What to Expect in a Day of an Opana Inpatient Rehab Participant

Inpatient rehab is usually very structured, and you will experience a variety of the activities described above throughout a typical day. Daily activities may vary, but most inpatient rehab facilities follow a similar routine to reduce anxiety and uncertainty in their patients. 

Mornings: Breakfast and Morning Meetings 

• Some treatment facilities may offer optional morning meditation or yoga as a calm and grounded start to your day.
• You will be served or offered a healthy breakfast. Eating healthy is very important during rehabilitation from Opana, because your strength needs to be built up after the detox process and your body needs healthy food to heal.
• Morning meetings usually consist of group therapy sessions. Group therapy is very important in inpatient rehab because it connects you to a support system of people that you can relate to, and you will be encouraged to share your story and emotions with them so you can help each other through your rehab process. 

Afternoons: Lunch and Intensive Therapy 

• Lunch is served mid-day to break up activities and therapy session and to provide a time of connection between patients.
• Afternoon Therapy Sessions: Usually after lunch patients will have more intensive, individual therapy sessions. This could include some of the cognitive behavioral therapy sessions, family therapy, or treatment for a co-occurring disorder.
• Afternoon Workshops: There may be time in the afternoon to go to an educational workshop or class that provides more tools and resources to use for life after rehab. 

Evenings: Dinner and Speakers 

• Evenings are fairly relaxed so patients can wind-down before heading to bed. There may be a scheduled motivational speaker or special feature for the night. Again, night-time activities usually end early so everyone can get a good night’s sleep, because sleep is very important for your body’s recovery process. 

After your time in an inpatient treatment facility, you should have learned the skills you need to leave and re-enter society confidently. You will have identified your specific triggers and behaviors that lead to Opana use, and you can use what you learned in rehab to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Outpatient rehab facilities offer the same services as inpatient facilities, such as: access to medical professionals, group and individual therapy, educational workshops, and even integrated treatment. 

The main difference between inpatient and outpatient rehab treatment is that for inpatient treatment, you live in the facility for the duration of your rehab. With outpatient treatment, you live off-site at your own home and you travel to the facility for daily meetings and activities. 

For some people, outpatient treatment works very well. It can work especially well if they are a new addict or only have a light abuse or addiction problem. They can attend therapy a few hours a week and continue with their other responsibilities. It’s the ideal option for someone with a job or with children they can’t leave overnight. Outpatient treatments are also usually more affordable because patients don’t have to pay for food or room and board. 

If you have a more serious addiction but still have responsibilities to manage, intensive outpatient treatment may be a viable option. You spend more time in treatment but still get to go home and to work. Instead of a few hours per week, you may go every day or even spend several hours each day in therapy.

The downside to outpatient rehab treatment for Opana users is that when you leave the treatment facility, you are faced with the temptation to use again. With inpatient treatment, you are completely removed from society and you will not have access to Opana. But, with outpatient treatment, there is no such guarantee. 

Again, it is important to remember that addiction is different for each person, so each person should choose the best rehab option for their own circumstances. What works for some people may not work for all people.

Different types of Outpatient Treatment Programs for Opana Addicts 

Day Programs

Day programs give the highest amount of care and structure that you can find in an outpatient treatment setting. They are an extensive time investment, but give you the most support while still allowing you to live off-site. Day program patients commit to going to the facility 5-7 days a week, for multiple hours each day. The meetings there include therapy, group counseling, as well as specialty therapies. 

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) 

Intensive outpatient programs work off of specific goals and milestones that are created for each patient to meet. When the milestones are met, the time spent in meetings in the treatment facility decreases. This option is good for a person seeking intense support while still needing to attend to a job, school, or other daily responsibilities. 

Continuing Care 

Continuing care involves groups you may have heard of like Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous. These are support groups that meet weekly or biweekly and are led by a trained professional or therapist to walk with people through the struggles of addiction recovery.

Our facility at Northpoint Washington is a 28-day inpatient drug rehab facility located in Washington state. This program involves a detox portion, followed by rehab treatment, and then a specialized outpatient treatment plan. 

We offer all the benefits of an inpatient treatment at our facility. You will receive individualized medical care 24/7, along with mental health treatment, and a schedule that will allow you to rehabilitate yourself and focus on getting clean. 

For the first 7 days (approximately), you will undergo the detox process. We will provide you with specialized medication and therapeutic activities to help minimize the Opana withdrawal symptoms. 

We believe that it is very beneficial to complete detox and rehab treatment in the same facility because research shows when the two processes are done together, the chance of a relapse decreases and the chances of staying sober longer increases. 

After detox, you will enter the rehab portion of the program. This will address the psychological aspects of drug addiction to get at the root of the reason why you are using. Every option that we laid out in the inpatient rehab treatment portion of this article will be available to you, including: therapy session, relapse prevention, education workshops, skill-building activities, and integrated treatment for co-occurring disorders. We pride ourselves in offering the highest quality care in every area of treatment because we truly care about the well-being of our patients. 

Once rehab is completed, we will be sure to set you up for success after you leave our facility. You will be able to apply what you learned in rehab to your daily life at home, and we will provide flexible options for you that will still provide you with the support you need.
