The Long Road to Rehab: How to Get
Your Life Back
Outpatient Centers
A light version of outpatient care would be a simple club or group that
involves sponsors and members to support each other in getting sober.
Certain outpatient care focuses on therapy and generally involves
weekly meetings.
As you can imagine, this setup is much more ideal for many. It is not
nearly as expensive, and it allows a person to work, care for their family
and perform other responsibilities the patient may have. However,
many need more comprehensive care and do not fully recover in
outpatient centers. The meetings provide a positive incentive for
recovering addicts to remain clean, but they do not account for the
overall environment of the recovering addict.
