Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the chance to sustain specific responsibilities and aspects of their life-style while getting involved in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of rehabilitation provided within an inpatient or residential treatment setting which can be significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment might be suitable for someone who has a brief history of drug abuse as an example, but will certainly not be sufficient for a person whose rehabilitation needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals involved in substance abuse often require a considerable environmental change, because most of the things which trigger their drug and alcohol use are purely environmental. For instance, if someone is being physically or emotionally abused and this is triggering their substance abuse, it's impossible for any treatment endeavours to have success if they return to such conditions on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can engage in group and individual counseling, in addition to family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most centers offer services 6 or 7 days per week on either a part-time or full time schedule for four weeks or longer in some instances.
