Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the opportunity to maintain specific obligations and elements of their life-style while getting involved in drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the degree of treatment offered within an inpatient or residential rehab setting that's significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment may be suitable for someone who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for example, but will almost certainly not be adequate for someone whose rehab needs exceed what outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals involved in drug and alcohol use often need an extreme environmental change, because many of the things that trigger their drug abuse are purely environmental. For instance, if someone else is being physically or psychologically mistreated and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any rehabilitation efforts to have success should they go back to such situations every day. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and one-on-one therapy, as well as family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most centers offer services 6 or 7 days per week on either a part-time or full-time basis for 30 days or longer in some instances.
