Regular outpatient rehabilitation is usually a less costly alternative to more comprehensive outpatient centers or inpatient treatment, and is the lowest intensity of formal substance abuse treatment around in Minerva. Some people are attending 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 treatment in a more intense outpatient facility such as a partial hospitalization or inpatient center.
Regular out-patient rehabilitation services involve group and individual counseling services occurring once or twice a week. Centers which include a wider array of services may include psychotherapies (CBT) to assist with relapse prevention and dual diagnosis services to help respond to co-occurring substance abuse and mental health issues. How long a person remains involved in rehab can change from client to client, and a person's improvement 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 rehab program may be insufficient in intensity for a person who is facing a chronic substance abuse issue and has not experienced rehab previously or has relapsed after previous outpatient recovery.
