Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the opportunity to sustain certain responsibilities and elements of their way of life while taking part in drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of treatment, and shouldn't be mistaken for the degree of rehabilitation provided in an inpatient or residential treatment setting that is much more intensive. Outpatient treatment might be suitable for anyone who has a brief history of drug abuse for instance, but will most surely not be sufficient for an individual whose rehabilitation needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often need an extreme environmental change, because many of the things that prompt their substance abuse are purely environmental. By way of example, when someone is being physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their drug abuse, it's impossible for any rehabilitation efforts to have success whenever they go back to such conditions each day. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and one-on-one therapy, as well as family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most centers will provide services six or seven days per week on either a part-time or full time basis for four weeks or longer in some cases.
