Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the ability to maintain specific obligations and aspects of their way of life while getting involved in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehab, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of rehabilitation offered in an inpatient or residential treatment setting which can be a lot more intensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be well suited for anyone who has a short history of drug abuse for instance, but will certainly not be sufficient for an individual whose rehabilitation needs exceed what outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals involved in substance abuse often require an extreme change of environment, because most of the things which prompt their drug and alcohol use are purely environmental. As an example, if someone is being physically or emotionally abused and this is prompting their substance abuse, there is no way for any rehab endeavours to succeed if they return to such situations on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and one-on-one therapy, as well as family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most centers will provide services five to seven days a week on either a part time or full time basis for thirty days or longer in some instances.
