Regular out-patient treatment is mostly a less expensive alternative to more comprehensive outpatient options or inpatient recovery, and is the least intense of formal alcohol or drug treatment available in Patrick AFB. Some people are attending rehab for the first time and have chosen regular outpatient because that is all they can afford and commitment to time wise and scheduling because of school, work or other obligations. For many, regular outpatient is a "step-down" from rehab in a more intense outpatient center like a partial hospitalization or inpatient facility.
Regular out-patient rehabilitation options usually involve group and individual counseling services delivered once or twice a week. Programs which include a wider array of services may include counseling (CBT) to help with relapse prevention and dual diagnosis services to help respond to co-occurring addiction and mental health issues. The length of time a person remains in recovery can change from client to client, and a person's progress can be judged every now and then and more rehab can be suggested contingent upon these evaluations.
In many cases, a regular outpatient rehab facility is going to be deficient in intensity for a client who is attempting to address a severe drug and alcohol problem and has never experienced recovery before or has fallen off the wagon after prior outpatient rehab.
