How to Determine Your Level of Care
Key Questions to Ask
- • Safety: Do you need medical supervision for withdrawal?
- • Stability: Is your home environment supportive of recovery?
- • History: Have previous outpatient attempts been unsuccessful?
- • Health: Do you have co-occurring mental health conditions?
- • Obligations: Can you take time away from work and family?
The Continuum of Care
Recovery often involves stepping through multiple levels. You might start with detox, transition to residential treatment, then move to outpatient care while living at home or in sober housing. Each step builds on the last.
