Regular out-patient rehabilitation is usually a less expensive alternative to more comprehensive outpatient options or inpatient treatment, and is the least intense of formal alcohol or drug treatment available in Lafayette. Some people are in treatment for the first time and have chosen regular outpatient because of the cost and time commitment and scheduling because of work, school 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 center.
Regular out-patient recovery options involve individual and group counseling services delivered once or twice a week. Programs which include a wider spectrum of services may include counseling (behavioral therapy) to help with relapse prevention and dual-diagnosis services to help respond to co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders. How long a client stays in rehab can change from client to client, and a person's improvement can be judged occasionally and an extension of rehab can be suggested based on these conclusions.
In many cases, a regular outpatient recovery program is going to be lacking in intensity for a client who is facing a bad substance abuse issue and has never experienced recovery before or has relapsed following prior outpatient treatment.
