Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the ability to maintain certain responsibilities and elements of their way of life while taking part in drug and alcohol treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the level of rehab offered in an inpatient or residential rehab setting that is significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be well suited for a person who has a short history of drug abuse for instance, but will most surely not be sufficient for somebody whose rehab needs exceed what outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often need a considerable change of environment, because most of the things which trigger their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. By way of example, when someone has been physically or emotionally abused and this is prompting their drug abuse, it's impossible for any rehabilitation endeavours to achieve success should they return to such conditions each day. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and one-on-one therapy, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most centers offer services 5 to 7 days each week on either a part time or full time schedule for 30 days or longer in some instances.
