Regular out-patient treatment 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 Longleaf. Some individuals are attending rehab for the first time and have chosen regular outpatient because of the cost and time commitment and scheduling because of school, work or other obligations. In some cases, regular outpatient is a "step-down" from rehab in a more intense outpatient program like a partial hospitalization or in-patient facility.
Regular out-patient recovery services have group and individual counseling services delivered once or twice a week. Centers that offer 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 issues. How long an individual remains involved in recovery can change from client to client, and a person's progress can be assessed from time to time and an extension of treatment can be suggested contingent upon these conclusions.
In many situations, a regular outpatient recovery facility may be insufficient in intensity for a person who is facing a bad alcohol and drug problem and has not experienced treatment previously or has relapsed following prior outpatient rehabilitation.
