Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the chance to sustain certain responsibilities and aspects of their lifestyle while getting involved in drug and alcohol rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the amount of rehab offered within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting which can be a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be suitable for somebody who has a short history of substance abuse for example, but will most surely not be adequate for an individual whose rehabilitation needs exceed what outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals dealing with substance abuse often require a considerable change of environment, because many of the things that prompt their drug abuse are strictly environmental. For instance, if someone has been physically or emotionally mistreated and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, it's impossible for any treatment efforts to succeed whenever they go back to such situations every day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can engage in group and one-on-one therapy, along with 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 30 days or longer in some instances.
