Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the ability to maintain certain obligations and elements of their life-style while taking part in drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of treatment, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of treatment provided in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting that's significantly more intensive. Outpatient treatment may be well suited for somebody who has a short history of drug abuse for example, but will most definitely not be sufficient for an individual whose rehab needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals involved in drug and alcohol use often need an extreme change of environment, because most of the things that prompt their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. As an example, if someone is being physically or emotionally mistreated and this is triggering their drug abuse, there is no way for any treatment endeavours to achieve success should they go back to such circumstances on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and one-on-one therapy, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most centers will provide services 6 or 7 days per week on either a part-time or full-time basis for four weeks or longer in some cases.
