Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to maintain specific responsibilities and aspects of their way of life while taking part in drug and alcohol rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of treatment, and should not be mistaken for the amount of rehabilitation provided in an inpatient or residential treatment setting that's significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment could be well suited for someone who has a short history of substance abuse as an example, but will almost certainly not be adequate for a person whose rehab needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often need a considerable change of environment, because many of the things that trigger their substance abuse are purely environmental. As an example, if someone else is being physically or psychologically abused and this is prompting their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any rehabilitation endeavours to succeed should they return to such situations every day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and one-on-one therapy, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most centers offer services six or seven days each week on either a part-time or full time basis for 30 days or longer in some instances.
