Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the chance to maintain specific obligations and aspects of their life-style while taking part in drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of treatment, and should not be mistaken for the level of treatment provided in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting which can be significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment could be suited to anyone who has a short history of drug or alcohol use for instance, but will certainly not be adequate for somebody whose rehabilitation needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals involved in drug and alcohol use often require an extreme change of environment, because most of the things which prompt their drug and alcohol use are purely environmental. By way of example, when someone has been physically or psychologically mistreated and this is triggering their substance abuse, there is no way for any rehabilitation endeavours to succeed should they return to such conditions on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and individual therapy, as well as family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most centers will provide services six or seven days per week on either a part-time or full time schedule for 1 month or longer in some cases.
