Regular outpatient recovery is usually a less costly alternative to more intensive outpatient centers or inpatient rehab, and is the least intense of formal alcohol or drug rehabilitation around in Washington. Some individuals are in rehab for the first time and have chosen regular outpatient because that is all they can afford and commitment to time wise and scheduling because of work, school or other obligations. In some cases, regular outpatient is a "step-down" from treatment in a more intensive outpatient center like a partial hospitalization or inpatient center.
Regular out-patient rehabilitation services offer group and individual counseling services delivered once maybe twice per week. Centers which include a wider array of services may include psychotherapies (behavioral therapy) to assist with relapse prevention and dual diagnosis services to help address co-occurring addiction and mental health disorders. How long a person remains involved in rehab can vary, and a client's improvement can be judged from time to time and an extension of rehab can be recommended based on these conclusions.
In many situations, a regular outpatient treatment facility may be lacking in intensity for someone who is addressing a severe drug and alcohol problem and has not gone to recovery previously or has fallen off the wagon after previous outpatient recovery.
