Regular Outpatient Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Athens, ME.

Regular out-patient rehabilitation is usually a less expensive choice to more comprehensive outpatient centers or inpatient treatment, and is the least intense of formal drug or alcohol rehab around in Athens. Some people are attending treatment for their first time and have picked regular outpatient because that is all they can afford and time commitment and scheduling because of work, school or other obligations. In some cases, regular outpatient is a step down to service following treatment in a more intense outpatient center such as a partial hospitalization or inpatient program.

Regular out-patient treatment options offer group and individual counseling services occurring once maybe twice per week. Facilities that offer a wider spectrum of services may include psychotherapies (CBT) to help with relapse prevention and dual-diagnosis services to help address co-occurring substance abuse and mental health issues. How long a person remains involved in rehab can vary, and a person's improvement can be assessed every now and then and more rehab can be suggested based on these conclusions.

In many situations, a regular outpatient rehab program is going to be insufficient in intensity for an individual who is addressing a chronic alcohol and drug issue and has never gone to treatment before or has relapsed after previous outpatient rehabilitation.
