Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the chance to sustain certain responsibilities and elements of their lifestyle while getting involved in drug and alcohol treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of treatment, and should not be mistaken for the level of treatment offered within an inpatient or residential rehab setting that is a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be well suited for someone who has a brief history of substance abuse for instance, but will certainly not be adequate for a person whose rehab needs exceed what outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals dealing with substance abuse often require a considerable change of environment, because most of the things which trigger their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. For instance, if a person is being physically or emotionally abused and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, it's impossible for any treatment endeavours to achieve success should they go back to such circumstances on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can take advantage of group and one-on-one counseling, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most centers will provide services 5 to 7 days a week on either a part-time or full-time schedule for four weeks or longer in some cases.
