Regular outpatient recovery is mostly a less expensive choice to more intensive outpatient options or inpatient rehab, and is the lowest intensity of formal drug or alcohol rehab available in New Orleans. Some clients are in treatment for their first time and have picked regular outpatient because of the cost and commitment to time wise and logistically because of school, work or other obligations. For many, regular outpatient is a "step-down" from rehab in a more intense outpatient center like a partial hospitalization or inpatient program.
Regular out-patient recovery services involve some kind of group and individual counseling services delivered once or twice a week. Facilities which include a more diverse range of services may include counseling (behavioral therapy) to assist with relapse prevention and dual diagnosis services to help address co-occurring substance abuse and mental health issues. How long an individual remains in rehab can vary, and a client's progress can be evaluated every now and then and an extension of treatment can be recommended based on these evaluations.
In many situations, a regular outpatient rehab facility may be lacking in intensity for a client who is attempting to address a bad alcohol and drug issue and has never gone to treatment previously or has relapsed following previous outpatient rehab.
