Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the chance to maintain specific responsibilities and aspects of their way of life while taking part in drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of treatment, and should not be mistaken for the level of rehab provided within an inpatient or residential rehab setting which is a lot more intensive. Outpatient treatment may be ideal for anyone who has a short history of drug or alcohol use for instance, but will certainly not be adequate for a person whose rehabilitation needs exceed what outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals involved in drug abuse often require an extreme environmental change, because most of the things which trigger their substance abuse are strictly environmental. By way of example, if someone is being physically or emotionally mistreated and this is prompting their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any treatment endeavours to succeed whenever they go back to such conditions on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and one-on-one therapy, in addition to family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most centers will provide services 6 or 7 days per week on either a part time or full time basis for 1 month or longer in some cases.
