Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the chance to sustain specific obligations and elements of their life-style while taking part in alcohol and drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the amount of rehab offered within an inpatient or residential treatment setting which can be significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment might be well suited for someone who has a brief history of substance abuse for example, but will certainly not be adequate for an individual whose rehab needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals involved in substance abuse often need an extreme change of environment, because most of the things which prompt their drug and alcohol use are purely environmental. As an example, when someone is being physically or psychologically mistreated and this is prompting their substance abuse, it's impossible for any rehab endeavours to achieve success if they go back to such conditions on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and individual counseling, along with 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 four weeks or longer in some instances.
