You will see the term "evidence-based" often. It simply means that the therapy has been scientifically studied and proven to work in clinical trials. Choosing a facility that uses evidence-based practices (like CBT or Motivational Interviewing) ensures that your loved one is receiving care that has a track record of successful outcomes.
Many of the therapies listed on this page can be found in both settings. Inpatient care provides 24/7 immersion in these therapies, which is often necessary for stabilization. Outpatient care allows your loved one to attend therapy sessions (like CBT or group work) during the day and return home at night, which is great for those with work or family commitments who are at a lower risk for immediate relapse.
