Regular out-patient treatment is usually a less expensive choice to more comprehensive outpatient options or inpatient treatment, and is the least intense of formal drug or alcohol rehabilitation available in Mercer. Some people are in treatment for the first time and have picked 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 treatment in a more intensive outpatient center like a partial hospitalization or inpatient center.
Regular outpatient rehab services offer group and individual counseling services delivered once or twice a week. Facilities that include 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 substance abuse and mental health issues. The length of time someone remains involved in treatment can vary, and a person's improvement can be judged occasionally and an extension of treatment can be suggested contingent upon these findings.
In many cases, a regular outpatient rehabilitation facility may be insufficient in intensity for a client who is addressing a severe substance abuse problem and has never gone to recovery previously or has fallen off the wagon following previous outpatient rehab.
