Regular out-patient recovery is mostly a less costly alternative to more intensive outpatient options or inpatient rehab, and is the lowest intensity of formal drug or alcohol rehab available in Wellington. Some people 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. For some, regular outpatient is a "step-down" from rehab in a more intensive outpatient center like a partial hospitalization or in-patient center.
Regular out-patient rehabilitation options usually offer group and individual counseling services delivered once or twice a week. Facilities which offer a more diverse 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 issues. The length of time a client stays involved in treatment can vary, and a person's improvement can be assessed occasionally and an extension of treatment can be recommended contingent upon these conclusions.
In many cases, a regular outpatient treatment facility may be lacking in intensity for a client who is addressing a chronic substance abuse issue and has never experienced treatment before or has fallen off the wagon after previous outpatient recovery.
