Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the chance to maintain certain responsibilities and aspects of their life-style while getting involved in alcohol and drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of treatment, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of rehab provided within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program which can be significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be ideal for anyone who has a short history of substance abuse as an example, but will most definitely not be sufficient for an individual whose rehabilitation needs exceed what outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals involved in substance abuse often require an extreme environmental change, because most of the things that prompt their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. For instance, if someone is being physically or psychologically mistreated and this is triggering their substance abuse, it's impossible for any rehabilitation endeavours to have success if they return to such conditions on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and one-on-one therapy, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most centers will provide services six or seven days each week on either a part time or full-time basis for four weeks or longer in some cases.
