Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the ability to maintain certain obligations and elements of their lifestyle while taking part in drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of treatment, and shouldn't be mistaken for the degree of rehabilitation provided within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program which can be significantly more intensive. Outpatient treatment could be suitable for a person who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for example, but will certainly not be sufficient for somebody whose rehabilitation needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often require an extreme environmental change, because most of the things that trigger their substance abuse are strictly environmental. As an example, if a person has been physically or psychologically mistreated and this is triggering their substance abuse, there is no way for any rehabilitation endeavours to achieve success whenever they return to such conditions every day. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from 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 schedule for 30 days or longer in some cases.
