Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the chance to sustain certain responsibilities and elements of their life-style while taking part in drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of treatment, and shouldn't be mistaken for the amount of rehabilitation provided in an inpatient or residential rehab program that is much more intensive. Outpatient treatment could be suitable for someone who has a short history of substance abuse for example, but will almost certainly not be adequate for an individual whose rehab needs exceed what outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals involved in drug abuse often need a considerable change of environment, because most of the things that trigger their substance abuse are purely environmental. By way of example, when someone has been physically or emotionally mistreated and this is prompting their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any treatment endeavours to achieve success whenever they go back to such circumstances each day. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and one-on-one therapy, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most centers offer services five to seven days a week on either a part-time or full time schedule for thirty days or longer in some cases.
