Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the ability to sustain certain obligations and elements of their lifestyle while taking part in alcohol and drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of treatment, and should not be mistaken for the level of rehab provided in an inpatient or residential treatment program which can be much more extensive. Outpatient treatment might be suitable for somebody who has a short history of drug or alcohol use for example, but will almost certainly not be adequate for someone whose rehabilitation needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals involved in drug and alcohol use often require a considerable change of environment, because most of the things that prompt their drug and alcohol use are purely environmental. For instance, when someone is being physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their drug abuse, there is no way for any rehab endeavours to succeed whenever they go back to such conditions on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from 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 basis for thirty days or longer in some instances.
