Regular outpatient treatment is mostly a less expensive alternative to more intensive outpatient options or inpatient recovery, and is the least intense of formal substance abuse rehabilitation available in Dalton. Some clients are attending rehab for their first time and have chosen regular outpatient because of the cost and time commitment and scheduling because of work, school or other obligations. For some, regular outpatient is a "step-down" from treatment in a more intense outpatient center such as a partial hospitalization or inpatient program.
Regular outpatient rehabilitation services involve individual and group counseling services delivered once maybe twice per week. Facilities that offer a more diverse array of services may include counseling (behavioral therapy) to assist with relapse prevention and dual-diagnosis services to help respond to co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders. How long an individual stays in treatment can vary, and a person's progress can be evaluated occasionally and an extension of rehab can be suggested based on these conclusions.
In many cases, a regular outpatient recovery program may be deficient in intensity for a client who is dealing with a bad substance abuse problem and has never gone to recovery before or has relapsed after prior outpatient rehab.
