Regular outpatient treatment is mostly a less expensive alternative to more comprehensive outpatient options or inpatient rehabilitation, and is the lowest intensity of formal substance abuse treatment available in Columbus. 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 school, work or other obligations. In some cases, regular outpatient is a step down from rehab in a more intense outpatient center such as a partial hospitalization or in-patient facility.
Regular outpatient treatment options usually involve some kind of group and individual counseling services occurring once or twice a week. Centers which offer a wider spectrum of services may include psychotherapies (behavioral therapy) to help with relapse prevention and dual-diagnosis services to help address co-occurring addiction and mental health disorders. The length of time a client remains in treatment can change from client to client, and a client's improvement can be assessed every now and then and an extension of rehab can be suggested based on these evaluations.
In some cases, a regular outpatient recovery facility is going to be insufficient in intensity for someone who is facing a severe substance abuse issue and has not gone to rehab previously or has relapsed following previous outpatient recovery.
