Regular out-patient treatment is mostly a less expensive alternative to more intensive outpatient centers or inpatient rehabilitation, and is the lowest intensity of formal substance abuse rehabilitation available in Winchester. Some people are in treatment 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" to service following treatment in a more intensive outpatient facility like a partial hospitalization or in-patient facility.
Regular outpatient rehab services include group and individual counseling services delivered once or twice a week. Programs that offer a more diverse range of services may include psychotherapies (behavioral therapy) to assist with relapse prevention and dual-diagnosis services to help address co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders. The length of time a person stays involved in recovery can change from client to client, and a person's improvement can be evaluated every now and then and more treatment can be suggested based on these findings.
In many situations, a regular outpatient recovery facility may be insufficient in intensity for a client who is facing a bad substance abuse issue and has never experienced treatment previously or has relapsed after prior outpatient rehabilitation.
