Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the opportunity to sustain specific obligations and aspects of their lifestyle while getting involved in drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the degree of treatment offered within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting which is much more extensive. Outpatient treatment may be well suited for a person who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for example, but will most surely not be adequate for a person whose treatment needs exceed what outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals involved in drug abuse often require a considerable environmental change, because most of the things that trigger their substance abuse are strictly environmental. As an example, if a person has been physically or emotionally mistreated and this is triggering their substance abuse, it's impossible for any rehab endeavours to achieve success if they go back to such conditions each day. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and one-on-one counseling, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most centers offer services five to seven days per week on either a part-time or full-time basis for 30 days or longer in some cases.
