Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the opportunity to maintain specific obligations and aspects of their life-style while getting involved in alcohol and drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of treatment, and should not be mistaken for the degree of rehabilitation provided in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program that's a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment may be suited to anyone who has a brief history of substance abuse for instance, but will most surely not be adequate for someone whose rehabilitation needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals involved in substance abuse often require a considerable change of environment, because many of the things which trigger their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. As an example, if someone is being physically or emotionally mistreated and this is prompting their drug abuse, it's impossible for any rehab endeavours to succeed if they go back to such conditions on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and one-on-one therapy, in addition to family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most centers will provide services five to seven days each week on either a part time or full time basis for four weeks or longer in some instances.
