Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to maintain certain obligations and elements of their lifestyle while getting involved in alcohol and drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of treatment, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of rehabilitation offered within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting that is significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment could be suitable for a person who has a short history of drug abuse as an example, but will almost certainly not be adequate for someone whose treatment needs exceed what outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often need an extreme change of environment, because most of the things that trigger their drug abuse are strictly environmental. By way of example, if someone else has been physically or emotionally abused and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, it's impossible for any rehab endeavours to have success if they return to such situations each day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can engage in group and one-on-one therapy, as well as family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most centers will provide services 5 to 7 days each week on either a part time or full-time basis for 30 days or longer in some instances.
