Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the chance to sustain specific obligations and aspects of their way of life while getting involved in drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the degree of treatment offered in an inpatient or residential rehab setting that is significantly more intensive. Outpatient treatment may be suitable for someone who has a short history of drug abuse as an example, but will almost certainly not be adequate for an individual whose treatment needs exceed what outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals involved in drug abuse often require an extreme environmental change, because most of the things that prompt their drug abuse are strictly environmental. As an example, if someone else is being physically or psychologically abused and this is prompting their drug abuse, it's impossible for any rehab endeavours to achieve success whenever they go back to such situations on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and one-on-one 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 basis for thirty days or longer in some cases.
