Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the chance to maintain certain obligations and elements of their way of life while taking part 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 program which is a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment may be well suited for somebody who has a brief history of substance abuse for instance, but will certainly not be sufficient for someone whose rehab needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals involved in substance abuse often require an extreme change of environment, because most of the things which trigger their drug and alcohol use are purely environmental. For instance, if someone else is being physically or psychologically mistreated and this is prompting their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any rehab endeavours to achieve success whenever they return to such situations every day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can engage in group and one-on-one counseling, as well as family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most centers offer services five to seven days per week on either a part time or full-time basis for thirty days or longer in some cases.
