Regular outpatient rehab is mostly a less costly choice to more intensive outpatient options or inpatient rehab, and is the least intense of formal drug or alcohol treatment available in Bristol. Some people are in rehab for the first time and have picked regular outpatient because that is all they can afford and commitment to time wise and logistically because of school, work or other obligations. In some cases, regular outpatient is a downgrade to service following treatment in a more intense outpatient program like a partial hospitalization or inpatient facility.
Regular out-patient recovery services involve some kind of individual and group counseling services occurring once maybe twice per week. Facilities that include a wider array of services may include counseling (behavioral therapy) to assist with relapse prevention and dual diagnosis services to help address co-occurring addiction and mental health disorders. How long a person remains in treatment can vary, and a client's improvement can be evaluated occasionally and an extension of treatment can be suggested based on these evaluations.
In many situations, a regular outpatient treatment facility is going to be lacking in intensity for someone who is dealing with a chronic substance abuse problem and has not experienced treatment before or has relapsed after prior outpatient rehab.
