Regular outpatient rehab is usually a less costly alternative to more intensive outpatient centers or inpatient recovery, and is the least intense of formal substance abuse treatment around in Erie. Some people are attending rehab for the first time and have picked regular outpatient because that is all they can afford and time commitment and scheduling because of work, school or other obligations. In some cases, regular outpatient is a downgrade to service following treatment in a more intense outpatient program like a partial hospitalization or inpatient program.
Regular outpatient treatment options involve some kind of group and individual counseling services occurring once or twice a week. Centers that offer a wider array of services may include counseling (behavioral therapy) to help with relapse prevention and dual diagnosis services to help respond to co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders. How long someone stays involved in recovery can change from client to client, and a client's progress can be judged every now and then and an extension of rehab can be suggested based on these conclusions.
In many cases, a regular outpatient rehab facility is going to be lacking in intensity for a client who is facing a bad substance abuse issue and has never experienced treatment previously or has relapsed following previous outpatient treatment.
