Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the chance to maintain certain obligations and aspects of their life-style while taking part in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of treatment, and shouldn't be mistaken for the amount of treatment offered within an inpatient or residential rehab setting which can be significantly more intensive. Outpatient treatment could be well suited for someone who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for instance, but will almost certainly not be sufficient for somebody whose rehabilitation needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals involved in substance abuse often require a considerable change of environment, because most of the things that trigger their drug and alcohol use are purely environmental. For instance, if someone has been physically or emotionally mistreated and this is triggering their drug abuse, it's impossible for any treatment endeavours to achieve success whenever they return to such circumstances on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and individual therapy, as well as family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most centers offer services five to seven days each week on either a part-time or full time basis for 30 days or longer in some instances.
