Regular outpatient rehabilitation is usually a less costly choice to more intensive outpatient options or inpatient treatment, and is the lowest intensity of formal substance abuse rehab available in Dorchester. Some individuals are in treatment for their first time and have chosen regular outpatient because that is all they can afford and time commitment and scheduling because of school, work or other obligations. For many, regular outpatient is a "step-down" to service following treatment in a more intensive outpatient center like a partial hospitalization or inpatient facility.
Regular outpatient recovery services usually offer group and individual counseling services occurring once maybe twice per week. Programs that include a wider array of services may include counseling (CBT) to assist with relapse prevention and dual-diagnosis services to help respond to co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders. The length of time someone remains in treatment can change from client to client, and a person's improvement can be evaluated occasionally and an extension of rehab can be suggested contingent upon these evaluations.
In some cases, a regular outpatient treatment facility may be deficient in intensity for someone who is dealing with a chronic substance abuse issue and has not experienced rehab before or has relapsed following prior outpatient recovery.
