Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the chance to sustain certain obligations and elements of their life-style while taking part in drug and alcohol rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the level of rehab offered in an inpatient or residential rehab setting that's much more intensive. Outpatient treatment might be suited to a person who has a brief history of drug abuse for example, but will almost certainly not be adequate for somebody whose rehab needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is able 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. As an example, when someone has been physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their drug abuse, there is no way for any rehabilitation endeavours to succeed whenever they go back to such situations each day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and one-on-one counseling, as well as family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most centers will provide services 5 to 7 days per week on either a part time or full-time basis for four weeks or longer in some cases.
