Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the chance to maintain certain obligations and elements of their life-style while getting involved in alcohol and drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the amount of treatment provided in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting which is significantly more intensive. Outpatient treatment may be suitable for somebody who has a short history of drug or alcohol use for example, but will certainly not be sufficient for an individual whose rehabilitation needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals involved in drug and alcohol use often need a considerable change of environment, because many of the things which prompt their drug abuse are purely environmental. By way of example, if someone is being physically or psychologically abused and this is prompting their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any rehab endeavours to have success whenever they go back to such conditions on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can engage in group and one-on-one counseling, in addition to family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most centers offer services 5 to 7 days each week on either a part-time or full-time basis for 1 month or longer in some cases.
