Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to maintain specific responsibilities and aspects of their lifestyle while taking part in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the degree of rehab offered within an inpatient or residential treatment program which can be a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment may be well suited for someone who has a short history of drug or alcohol use as an example, but will most surely not be adequate for a person whose rehab needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals involved in drug abuse often require a considerable change of environment, because most of the things which trigger their drug abuse are strictly environmental. By way of example, if a person is being physically or emotionally mistreated and this is triggering their drug abuse, it's impossible for any treatment endeavours to achieve success if they go back to such situations each day. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and individual counseling, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most centers will provide services six or seven days per week on either a part time or full-time basis for 1 month or longer in some cases.
