Making a Smooth Transition from Inpatient to Outpatient Treatment

For both providers and patients, it is essential that there is a smooth transition in place for moving from inpatient to outpatient substance use treatment. To maximize recovery outcomes and ensure long-term success, providers need to ensure their patients receive the benefits of a comprehensive continuum of care. This takes a strong collaboration between inpatient and outpatient providers and Aspire Counseling Services excels at this teamwork.

Once inpatient substance use treatment has been completed, the patient must begin transitioning to their normal day-to-day life. That can be a scary prospect! An outpatient day program that provides intensive treatment but still allows for typical day-to-day activities, such as work, school, and family life, is the best solution and offers the highest chances of success in recovery.

The important steps needed in transition coordination:

• Continuity of care coordination
• Support staff to help with transition
• Intensive accountability during transition
• Stable housing
• Access to treatment while still allowing work, school, and family time

Aspire Counseling Services offers an Intensive Outpatient Program that ensures a strong collaboration and coordination of care for patients transitioning from inpatient treatment. Statistics show that those patients who use a coordinated transition treatment plan, like the services offered by Aspire Counseling Services, have a much higher recovery success rate than those who do not use an outpatient treatment program after their inpatient detox and recovery program.

As a patient leaving inpatient substance use treatment, the next step is crucial for your recovery. You have completed the initial medical care and detox, possibly diagnosed with co-occurring mental health conditions, and received counseling to help you deal with triggers and changing your social circle. Are you truly ready to just go back to your normal everyday life without further support and accountability? Most people are not ready, they need a coordinated care plan with an intensive outpatient program that ensures accountability and support.
