Understanding In-Home Treatment: A Comprehensive Guide
Understanding In-Home Treatment: A Comprehensive Guide
If you are looking for treatment for a friend, loved one, or yourself, you may be wondering what treatment options are available and what those options look like. While most people think of the “treatment as usual” option when they consider treatment, you may be surprised to find out there is another option with tons of great benefits—in-home treatment.
But what is in-home treatment? What are the advantages? Who is it for? And what disorders can be treated with in-home care?
Below is a comprehensive guide to in-home treatment, along with why you’ll want to consider Front Door Health for your intensive behavioral health, substance use, and/or mental health treatment needs.
What Is In-Home Treatment? How Is It Different from “Treatment as Usual”?
To start, let’s consider the “treatment as usual” approach…
When most people think of intensive treatment programs, they think of inpatient and outpatient treatment. Inpatient treatment involves a patient checking into a treatment facility, where they will live for either the duration of their treatment or a portion of their treatment—receiving treatment services throughout the day. Outpatient treatment, on the other hand, involves a patient visiting a treatment facility multiple times throughout the week for hours at a time to receive treatment. Sometimes a treatment provider will begin with inpatient treatment, then transition to outpatient for additional care.
In-home treatment, on the other hand, involves a patient receiving the same quality of care from the comfort of their own home. Instead of traveling to a treatment center throughout the week or living at the center, the patient receives treatment at their house, around their schedule.
What Are the Advantages of In-Home Treatment?
There are a lot of advantages to in-home treatment. Below are some of the top benefits…
Treatment from the Comfort of Your Own Home
One of the main advantages of in-home treatment is in the name…it occurs in your home. This means no traveling back and forth every day to a treatment center or putting your life on hold to check into an inpatient facility. Instead, you receive high-quality care where you feel the most comfortable.
Treatment in the “Real World”
While there are some advantages to inpatient treatment, one of the main disadvantages is a lack of “real world” experience. A patient checking into a facility where they are isolated from the outside world is a double-edged sword. While they are able to focus entirely on recovery, they are also sheltered. Because of this, upon graduation from the program, they are met with a lot of “real world” challenges and temptations all at once. This can be jarring and extremely difficult to navigate.
In-home treatment allows for treatment in a “real world” setting. You’ll continue to meet the challenges of your day-to-day life, but you’ll be meeting them with the support and care of a team of experts in your corner. Our team will help you to navigate the challenges that you’ll experience both during and after treatment and provide you with the tools you need to succeed in your recovery.
Continue to Meet Your Work and Life Obligations
It can be extremely difficult to put your life on hold for treatment. Not everyone has the option to check out for a month and enroll in a full-time treatment program. Even outpatient care can put a strain on a patient’s life and can make it difficult to meet real-world obligations like work and family.
In-home treatment allows patients to meet their work, school, family, and other obligations while receiving the treatment they need and deserve.
Family Treatment Options
Family treatment can be extremely useful and rewarding, but it can also be difficult to navigate. Many treatment centers have specific “family days” or only certain times available for family therapy sessions. In-home treatment allows you to schedule family sessions whenever is most convenient for your family and you.
Who Is In-Home Treatment For?
In-home treatment is available for just about anyone. Whether you are a senior, a businessperson, a stay-at-home parent, or anything in between, in-home treatment may be an option.
In-home treatment is also available for teens with behavioral health, mental health, or substance use disorders. This form of treatment allows your teen to stay in school and possibly even stay engaged in extracurricular activities while receiving the care they need and deserve.
