Regular out-patient rehabilitation is mostly a less costly alternative to more intensive outpatient centers or inpatient rehabilitation, and is the least intense of formal substance abuse rehabilitation available in Buchanan. Some people are attending treatment for their first time and have chosen regular outpatient because of the cost and time commitment and logistically because of work, school or other obligations. For some, regular outpatient is a "step-down" to service following treatment in a more intensive outpatient facility like a partial hospitalization or inpatient facility.
Regular outpatient rehab options usually involve some kind of individual and group counseling services occurring once or twice a week. Centers which offer a more diverse spectrum of services may include counseling (behavioral therapy) to assist with relapse prevention and dual diagnosis services to help respond to co-occurring addiction and mental health disorders. The length of time a client stays involved in treatment can change from client to client, and a person's progress can be evaluated every now and then and more rehab can be recommended contingent upon these evaluations.
In many cases, a regular outpatient rehab program is going to be lacking in intensity for a client who is dealing with a chronic substance abuse problem and has never gone to treatment before or has fallen off the wagon after prior outpatient treatment.
