Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the chance to sustain specific responsibilities and aspects of their life-style while getting involved in drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the level of rehabilitation offered in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program which is a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment may be suited to anyone who has a short history of substance abuse for instance, but will almost certainly not be adequate for an individual whose rehabilitation needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals involved in drug and alcohol use often require an extreme change of environment, because many of the things that trigger their substance abuse are strictly environmental. By way of example, if someone has been physically or emotionally mistreated and this is triggering their drug abuse, it's impossible for any rehabilitation endeavours to succeed should they go back to such situations every day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can take advantage of group and one-on-one counseling, as well as 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 schedule for four weeks or longer in some cases.
