Regular out-patient treatment is mostly a less expensive alternative to more intensive outpatient options or inpatient recovery, and is the lowest intensity of formal drug or alcohol rehab available in Townsville. Some people are attending treatment for their first time and have picked regular outpatient because of the cost and commitment to time wise 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 program like a partial hospitalization or in-patient center.
Regular outpatient rehab options usually include group and individual counseling services occurring once or twice a week. Centers 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 disorders. The length of time someone stays in recovery can vary, and a person's improvement can be assessed every now and then and an extension of treatment can be recommended contingent upon these evaluations.
In many situations, a regular outpatient treatment facility is going to be lacking in intensity for a client who is facing a severe alcohol and drug problem and has never gone to recovery before or has relapsed following prior outpatient rehab.
