Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the ability to maintain specific responsibilities and elements of their way of life while getting involved in drug and alcohol rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the level of rehab provided within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program which can be much more extensive. Outpatient treatment could be suited to somebody who has a brief history of drug abuse for instance, but will certainly not be adequate for somebody whose rehabilitation needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often require an extreme environmental change, because most of the things that prompt their substance abuse are purely environmental. By way of example, if a person has been physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any treatment endeavours to succeed should they go back to such conditions each day. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and individual therapy, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most centers offer services five to seven days each week on either a part-time or full time basis for 1 month or longer in some instances.
