I had a relative who died four years ago from opioid addiction.

She was supposed to go to intensive outpatient treatment but didn’t go.

IMHO A person would have to be highly motivated to go to intensive outpatient. When you’re just sitting at home, it’s easier to just stay there And drink or use than it is to get up the motivation to go out and do something.

your thoughts?

(Yeah, I know inpatient is much more expensive.)
