Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the opportunity to maintain specific responsibilities and elements of their life-style while getting involved in drug and alcohol treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the degree of rehab provided in an inpatient or residential treatment program which is a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be suited to somebody who has a brief history of drug abuse as an example, but will almost certainly not be sufficient for someone whose rehab needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often need a considerable change of environment, because most of the things which prompt their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. For instance, if someone else has been physically or emotionally mistreated and this is triggering their drug abuse, there is no way for any rehabilitation efforts to achieve success should they return to such situations on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and individual counseling, along with family counseling 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 thirty days or longer in some instances.
