Regular outpatient treatment is usually a less expensive alternative to more intensive outpatient options or inpatient rehab, and is the lowest intensity of formal drug or alcohol rehab available in Panama. Some clients are in rehab for the first time and have picked regular outpatient because of the cost and time commitment and scheduling because of work, school or other obligations. For some, regular outpatient is a step down from rehab in a more intensive outpatient center like a partial hospitalization or in-patient facility.
Regular out-patient rehabilitation options usually offer individual and group counseling services occurring once maybe twice per week. Centers which offer a more diverse range of services may include counseling (CBT) to help with relapse prevention and dual diagnosis services to help address co-occurring addiction and mental health disorders. The length of time a person stays involved in treatment can vary, and a client's progress can be evaluated occasionally and an extension of rehab can be suggested based on these conclusions.
In some cases, a regular outpatient treatment program is going to be deficient in intensity for an individual who is dealing with a chronic drug and alcohol problem and has never gone to treatment before or has relapsed after prior outpatient rehabilitation.
