Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the ability to sustain specific obligations and elements of their way of life while taking part in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehab, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of rehabilitation offered within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program which can be significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment could be suited to someone who has a brief history of substance abuse for example, but will certainly not be adequate for somebody whose rehabilitation needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often require a considerable change of environment, because most of the things which trigger their drug and alcohol use are purely environmental. By way of example, when someone is being physically or psychologically mistreated and this is prompting their substance abuse, there is no way for any rehabilitation endeavours to achieve success whenever they return to such situations each day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can take advantage of group and one-on-one counseling, in addition to family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most centers offer services six or seven days each week on either a part time or full time basis for four weeks or longer in some cases.
