Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the chance to sustain specific obligations and elements of their lifestyle while getting involved in alcohol and drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of treatment, and shouldn't be mistaken for the degree of treatment provided within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting which can be much more intensive. Outpatient treatment might be well suited for somebody who has a short history of drug abuse for instance, but will most definitely not be adequate for an individual whose treatment needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals involved in substance abuse often require an extreme change of environment, because most of the things that trigger their drug abuse are strictly environmental. As an example, if someone else is being physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their substance abuse, there is no way for any rehabilitation endeavours to achieve success should they go back to such situations on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and one-on-one therapy, as well as family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most centers will provide services 5 to 7 days each week on either a part time or full-time schedule for 30 days or longer in some cases.
