Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the chance to maintain specific obligations and elements of their way of life while taking part in alcohol and drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the degree of rehabilitation offered in an inpatient or residential treatment setting which can be a lot more intensive. Outpatient treatment might be suited to anyone who has a short history of substance abuse as an example, but will almost certainly not be adequate for a person whose treatment needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals involved in drug and alcohol use often need a considerable change of environment, because most of the things that prompt their drug abuse are purely environmental. For instance, if someone else is being physically or emotionally abused and this is prompting their drug or alcohol use, it's impossible for any treatment endeavours to have success should they go back to such circumstances each 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 a week on either a part time or full time schedule for thirty days or longer in some instances.
