Outdoor Behavioral Healthcare vs. Treatment As Usual
Published in the Substance Abuse: Research and Treatment Journal, the 2019 scientific study titled The Value of Outdoor Behavioral Healthcare for Adolescent Substance Users with Comorbid Conditions examines clients aged 13 to 17 dealing with substance use and a dual diagnosis of one or more mental health concerns.
The research compares three distinct treatment modalities: Outdoor Behavioral Healthcare (OBH), Treatment As Usual (TAU) — which encompasses residential facilities, outpatient services, and other conventional healthcare settings — and no treatment — which refers to no long-term treatment but includes acute, episodic emergency hospitalization.
The findings of this study show that compared to TAU, OBH programs, like Momentum, stand out for higher completion rates, better cost-effectiveness, increased quality-of-life improvements, and superior clinical outcomes.
Higher Completion Rates
OBH: 94% vs. TAU: 37%
This suggests that OBH might be more engaging and effective at retaining participants through the completion of the program, a critical factor in treatment success.
Better Cost-Effectiveness
OBH: $27,426 vs. TAU: $31,113
When costs were adjusted for actual completion rates, OBH options are, on average, less costly per person for a 90-day treatment period ($27,426) compared to TAU ($31,113).
Quality of Life Improvements
60% Increase in QALY for OBH
Compared to TAU, OBH was associated with a significant increase in Quality of Life Years (QALY), indicating benefits to both immediate and long-term recovery.
Superior Clinical Outcomes
424% Better Outcomes for OBH
OBH produced 424% better treatment outcomes than TAU as measured by the Youth Outcome Questionnaire, including emotional and behavioral issues.

Navigating mental health and personal growth requires selecting the right level of care for the young adult in your life. From weekly therapy sessions for ongoing support to intensive outpatient or residential treatments for deeper challenges, understanding the nuances of mental health and personal growth is crucial in determining the appropriate level of care for a young adult.
Each individual's journey is unique, and what works for one person may not be suitable for another.
Here are some considerations for selecting the right level of care:
Weekly Talk Therapy Sessions
~ $75-$200 per session
Hour-long sessions typically occur once per week or every other week.
The ongoing duration depends on the individual's progress and goals.
Weekly or biweekly sessions could range from a few weeks to several months or longer.
Talk therapy involves regular sessions with a therapist to discuss emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. It aims to explore and address psychological issues, improve coping skills, and promote mental well-being.
This option offers consistent support for individuals who require ongoing assistance but do not need intensive care.
Weekly talk therapy sessions are suitable for managing general mental health concerns and maintaining stability.
Intensive Outpatient Therapy (IOP)
~ $250-$800 per session
IOP can last several weeks to a few months, with frequent sessions (three to four hours of daily treatment, 3-5 days a week).
IOP provides structured therapy sessions and support while allowing participants to live at home.
Intensive outpatient therapy is more intensive than weekly talk therapy but less restrictive than inpatient treatment.
It may include individual therapy, group therapy, psycho-education, and skill-building exercises.
IOP is beneficial for individuals with moderate to severe mental health issues who require more support than weekly therapy but don't need 24-hour care.
It's suitable for those who can maintain some level of functioning in their daily lives.
In-Patient Hospitalization
~ $1,000-$2,000 per day
It can vary widely depending on the severity of the individual's condition but typically ranges from a few days to a few weeks.
Immediate stabilization in a psychiatric hospital for acute crises such as self-harm or suicidal thoughts.
In-patient hospitalization involves round-the-clock care and is designed for individuals experiencing severe mental health crises or acute symptoms that require intensive monitoring and treatment.
Treatment may include medication management, therapy, stabilization, and safety measures.
Hospitalization becomes necessary when there's an immediate risk to the individual's safety or that of others. It provides intensive, round-the-clock care and supervision during severe mental health episodes.
Residential Treatment Center (RTC)
~ $10,000-$30,000 per month
(~ $330-$1,000 per day)
The duration of most RTC programs ranges from 6 months to 2+ years.
RTCs are long-term, live-in treatment programs offering therapeutic and academic support with 24/7 monitoring.
RTCs offer a highly structured and supportive environment for individuals with complex mental health issues. They provide comprehensive treatment programs, including therapy and medication management.
Residents live on-site and receive 24-hour care and supervision.
RTCs are suitable for individuals with severe and complex mental health conditions, such as substance use disorders, eating disorders, or personality disorders, who require intensive, long-term treatment in a structured environment away from their daily lives.
An RTC is an option for those requiring intensive intervention and a supportive community to address complex mental health challenges.
