Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the chance to sustain certain responsibilities and elements of their lifestyle while taking part in drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of rehab offered within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting that is significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment might be ideal for anyone who has a short history of drug or alcohol use for instance, but will almost certainly not be adequate for a person whose rehab needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals involved in drug and alcohol use often need a considerable change of environment, because most of the things that trigger their drug abuse are purely environmental. By way of example, when someone is being physically or emotionally abused and this is prompting their drug abuse, there is no way for any rehabilitation efforts to have success whenever they return to such situations on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can engage in group and individual counseling, along with 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 schedule for 1 month or longer in some cases.
