Regular out-patient recovery is mostly a less costly alternative to more intensive outpatient options or inpatient rehabilitation, and is the lowest intensity of formal drug or alcohol rehabilitation around in Waco. 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 school, work or other obligations. For some, regular outpatient is a "step-down" from rehab in a more intensive outpatient center like a partial hospitalization or inpatient center.
Regular out-patient rehabilitation options usually include group and individual counseling services occurring once or twice a week. Centers which offer a wider spectrum of services may include psychotherapies (behavioral therapy) to assist with relapse prevention and dual-diagnosis services to help respond to co-occurring addiction and mental health issues. The length of time a client stays involved in treatment can vary, and a person's progress can be assessed from time to time and an extension of treatment can be suggested based on these conclusions.
In many cases, a regular outpatient rehab facility is going to be lacking in intensity for a person who is dealing with a chronic drug and alcohol problem and has not experienced treatment previously or has fallen off the wagon after prior outpatient treatment.
