Regular Outpatient Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - California, MD.

Regular out-patient rehabilitation is usually a less costly choice to more comprehensive outpatient centers or inpatient recovery, and is the lowest intensity of formal substance abuse treatment around in California. Some individuals are in treatment for the first time and have picked regular outpatient because of the cost and commitment to time wise and scheduling because of work, school 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 rehab options offer group and individual counseling services occurring once maybe twice per week. Programs that include a wider spectrum of services may include counseling (CBT) to assist with relapse prevention and dual-diagnosis services to help respond to co-occurring addiction and mental health issues. How long someone stays involved in treatment can change from client to client, and a person's progress can be evaluated every now and then and more treatment can be recommended based on these conclusions.

In some cases, a regular outpatient treatment program may be insufficient in intensity for someone who is attempting to address a chronic substance abuse issue and has not gone to treatment previously or has fallen off the wagon following previous outpatient rehab.
