Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the chance to maintain certain obligations and aspects of their life-style while getting involved in drug and alcohol rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the amount of rehab provided within an inpatient or residential rehab setting which can be significantly more intensive. Outpatient treatment may be suited to somebody who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use as an example, but will most definitely not be adequate for a person whose treatment needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals dealing with substance abuse often require an extreme environmental change, because many of the things that trigger their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. For example, when someone has been physically or emotionally mistreated and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any treatment efforts to have success if they return to such situations each day. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and individual therapy, as well as family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most centers will provide services six or seven days each week on either a part-time or full-time schedule for 30 days or longer in some cases.
