Regular outpatient treatment is usually a less costly choice to more intensive outpatient centers or inpatient rehab, and is the lowest intensity of formal drug or alcohol rehabilitation available in Penn. Some clients are attending treatment for their first time and have picked regular outpatient because that is all they can afford and commitment to time wise and scheduling because of school, work or other obligations. For some, regular outpatient is a step down to service following treatment in a more intensive outpatient center such as a partial hospitalization or in-patient facility.
Regular out-patient treatment services usually include individual and group counseling services delivered once or twice a week. Programs which include a more diverse array of services may include counseling (CBT) to assist with relapse prevention and dual-diagnosis services to help address co-occurring substance abuse and mental health issues. How long a client stays involved in rehab can vary, and a client's progress can be judged occasionally and more treatment can be recommended contingent upon these evaluations.
In many cases, a regular outpatient recovery program may be lacking in intensity for someone who is dealing with a severe drug and alcohol issue and has not gone to treatment previously or has relapsed after previous outpatient treatment.
