Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to sustain specific obligations and elements of their way of life while taking part in drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the degree of treatment provided within an inpatient or residential treatment program that's much more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be suitable for somebody who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for instance, but will most surely not be adequate for someone whose treatment needs exceed what outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often need a considerable environmental change, because many of the things that trigger their drug abuse are strictly environmental. For instance, if a person has been physically or emotionally mistreated and this is triggering their substance abuse, there is no way for any rehabilitation endeavours to achieve success should they return to such situations each day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can engage in group and one-on-one counseling, in addition to family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most centers will provide services 6 or 7 days per week on either a part time or full-time basis for 1 month or longer in some instances.
