Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the chance to maintain specific obligations and aspects of their way of life while taking part in drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the amount of rehab provided in an inpatient or residential treatment setting which is significantly more intensive. Outpatient treatment could be well suited for somebody who has a brief history of substance abuse for example, but will certainly not be sufficient for somebody whose rehab needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals involved in drug abuse often require an extreme environmental change, because most of the things that trigger their drug abuse are purely environmental. For instance, if someone is being physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their substance abuse, there is no way for any rehab endeavours to succeed should they go back to such conditions on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and individual counseling, 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.
