Regular out-patient treatment is usually a less costly choice to more intensive outpatient centers or inpatient recovery, and is the least intense of formal alcohol or drug rehab available in Athens. Some clients are attending rehab for their first time and have picked regular outpatient because that is all they can afford and time commitment and logistically because of school, work or other obligations. For many, regular outpatient is a "step-down" from rehab in a more intensive outpatient facility like a partial hospitalization or inpatient program.
Regular outpatient treatment options involve some kind of group and individual counseling services delivered once maybe twice per week. Programs which include a more diverse spectrum of services may include psychotherapies (behavioral therapy) to help with relapse prevention and dual diagnosis services to help address co-occurring substance abuse and mental health issues. The length of time a client remains involved in rehab can change from client to client, and a client's improvement can be evaluated every now and then and more treatment can be suggested contingent upon these evaluations.
In many cases, a regular outpatient rehabilitation facility is going to be insufficient in intensity for an individual who is dealing with a bad alcohol and drug issue and has not experienced recovery before or has fallen off the wagon following previous outpatient recovery.
