Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the chance to sustain specific responsibilities and aspects of their way of life while taking part in alcohol and drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the level of rehab provided within an inpatient or residential rehab setting that's a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be well suited for someone who has a short history of drug or alcohol use for example, but will almost certainly not be adequate for somebody whose rehab needs exceed what outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals dealing with substance abuse often need a considerable environmental change, because many of the things which prompt their drug and alcohol use are purely environmental. As an example, if someone else is being physically or emotionally abused and this is prompting their substance abuse, there is no way for any treatment efforts to succeed should they return to such conditions on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can take advantage of group and individual counseling, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most centers offer services six or seven days each week on either a part-time or full-time schedule for thirty days or longer in some cases.
