Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the chance to maintain specific obligations and aspects of their life-style while taking part in alcohol and drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the amount of rehab provided within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program that's significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment might be ideal for a person who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for example, but will most definitely not be sufficient for a person whose rehabilitation needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals involved in drug abuse often require an extreme change of environment, because many of the things which trigger their substance abuse are purely environmental. For example, if someone else has been physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their drug abuse, it's impossible for any rehab endeavours to achieve success if they go back to such conditions on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and one-on-one therapy, as well as family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most centers will provide services six or seven days a week on either a part time or full-time schedule for 30 days or longer in some cases.
