Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the opportunity to maintain certain obligations and aspects of their lifestyle while getting involved in alcohol and drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of treatment, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of rehabilitation provided within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting which can be a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment may be suited to anyone who has a brief history of drug abuse for instance, but will most definitely not be adequate for an individual whose rehab needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals involved in drug and alcohol use often require an extreme environmental change, because many of the things which trigger their drug abuse are strictly environmental. By way of example, if someone is being physically or psychologically mistreated and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, it's impossible for any treatment efforts to succeed whenever they go back to such situations every day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can engage in group and individual counseling, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most centers will provide services 6 or 7 days each week on either a part time or full-time schedule for 30 days or longer in some instances.
