Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the opportunity to maintain specific responsibilities and aspects of their way of life while getting involved in drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the level of rehab provided within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting which is a lot more intensive. Outpatient treatment may be well suited for somebody who has a short history of drug abuse as an example, but will almost certainly not be sufficient for a person whose rehab needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often require a considerable environmental change, because many of the things that prompt their substance abuse are strictly environmental. For example, if someone else has been physically or psychologically abused and this is prompting their substance abuse, it's impossible for any treatment endeavours to achieve success if they go back to such circumstances on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and one-on-one therapy, in addition to family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most centers offer services six or seven days per week on either a part time or full-time basis for thirty days or longer in some cases.
