Regular out-patient rehab is mostly a less expensive alternative to more intensive outpatient centers or inpatient rehab, and is the least intense of formal alcohol or drug rehabilitation available in Big Bear City. Some clients are in treatment for the first time and have chosen regular outpatient because of the cost 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 intensive outpatient center such as a partial hospitalization or inpatient center.
Regular outpatient treatment services usually have individual and group counseling services delivered once maybe twice per week. Centers that include a wider 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 issues. The length of time a client stays in recovery can change from client to client, and a person's improvement can be judged every now and then and an extension of rehab can be suggested contingent upon these evaluations.
In many cases, a regular outpatient rehab facility may be insufficient in intensity for an individual who is dealing with a bad substance abuse problem and has not gone to rehab before or has fallen off the wagon after previous outpatient treatment.
