Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the ability to maintain specific obligations and elements of their life-style while taking part in drug and alcohol treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of rehabilitation provided within an inpatient or residential treatment setting which is a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment could be well suited for someone who has a short history of substance abuse as an example, but will almost certainly not be adequate for somebody whose rehab needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals involved in drug and alcohol use often need an extreme environmental change, because many of the things which prompt their drug and alcohol use are purely environmental. By way of example, if someone else has been physically or psychologically mistreated and this is triggering their substance abuse, it's impossible for any rehab efforts to succeed should they go back to such situations on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can take advantage of group and one-on-one counseling, as well as family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most centers will provide services 5 to 7 days a week on either a part-time or full time basis for 1 month or longer in some instances.
