Is Outpatient Ritalin Rehab Right for You?
Many patients know that they need Ritalin addiction treatment, but they aren’t sure which type is best for them -inpatient or outpatient Ritalin rehab. Which one is better? Is one more effective than the other? The truth is that both types of treatment are effective in different circumstances. In other words, there is no ranking the two programs because both offer different benefits.

Benefits of Outpatient Ritalin Rehab
Outpatient Ritalin rehab is the best option for those who have only been living with Ritalin addiction for a short period or who are currently functional at their job or in school AND feel that they can avoid relapse every day after the daily program schedule is complete. For some, the task of remaining clean and sober during Ritalin detox and after without round-the-clock care and support is too stressful – and ultimately, too much to ask. For others, the incentive of being able to care for their children, hold onto their job or keep up in school is strong enough to keep them dedicated to an outpatient Ritalin rehab.
Outpatient Ritalin addiction treatment rarely offers any form of assistance for medical detox or withdrawal symptoms, so patients are advised to be stable and off Ritalin before they begin treatment.
Benefits of Inpatient Ritalin Rehab
Inpatient Ritalin rehab offers 24-hour care that includes medical and psychological care. Starting with Ritalin detox, the intensive program is for those who have been living with Ritalin addiction for years, are addicted to other drugs and/or alcohol as well or have co-occurring psychological disorders like depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and more. With constant support and encouragement from peers, counselors and medical professionals, many find that at least 30 days in treatment can provide a strong foundation in recovery. Some opt to extend their stay to six months or more if they feel like they need more treatment or a little more time to stabilize before returning home.
Which Type of Ritalin Rehab Is Right for You?
Are you doing well at work or will you lose your job if you have to take an extended vacation? Do you have kids or elderly family members at home who have no one else to take care of them? Do you feel confident that you can avoid relapse when you are unsupervised? Then outpatient Ritalin rehab may be a good choice for you.
Do you experience withdrawal symptoms when you stop taking Ritalin or miss a dose? Have you been addicted to the drug for years? Are you diagnosed with schizophrenia, eating disorders, depression or other psychological disorder? In these cases, inpatient Ritalin rehab may be the better option.
