Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the opportunity to maintain specific obligations and elements of their lifestyle while getting involved in drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehab, and shouldn't be mistaken for the degree of rehabilitation offered in an inpatient or residential rehab program that's much more intensive. Outpatient treatment might be ideal for somebody who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for example, but will certainly not be adequate for somebody whose rehabilitation 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 many of the things which prompt their drug abuse are strictly environmental. For instance, if someone is being physically or emotionally mistreated and this is prompting their drug or alcohol use, it's impossible for any treatment endeavours to succeed should they go back to such situations every day. In outpatient treatment, individuals 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 a week on either a part-time or full-time basis for thirty days or longer in some instances.
