Regular Outpatient Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - St. Elmo, AL.

Regular outpatient treatment is mostly a less expensive alternative to more intensive outpatient centers or inpatient rehab, and is the least intense of formal drug or alcohol rehabilitation available in St. Elmo. Some people are attending rehab 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. For many, regular outpatient is a step down from treatment in a more intensive outpatient center such as a partial hospitalization or inpatient program.

Regular outpatient rehabilitation services involve group and individual counseling services delivered once or twice a week. Centers that include a more diverse spectrum of services may include counseling (behavioral therapy) to help with relapse prevention and dual-diagnosis services to help address co-occurring substance abuse and mental health issues. How long a client remains in recovery can vary, and a client's improvement can be assessed every now and then and an extension of rehab can be recommended based on these conclusions.

In many situations, a regular outpatient rehabilitation program may be deficient in intensity for a person who is dealing with a severe alcohol and drug issue and has not experienced rehab before or has fallen off the wagon after previous outpatient recovery.
