Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the chance to maintain specific responsibilities and aspects of their life-style while getting involved in drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of treatment, and shouldn't be mistaken for the amount of rehabilitation provided in an inpatient or residential rehab setting which can be much more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be suited to 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 go beyond that which outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often need an extreme environmental change, because most of the things which prompt their substance abuse are strictly environmental. For instance, if a person is being physically or emotionally mistreated and this is prompting their substance abuse, it's impossible for any rehab endeavours to succeed if they return to such situations each day. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and one-on-one therapy, in addition to family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most centers offer services 6 or 7 days per week on either a part-time or full time basis for 30 days or longer in some cases.
