Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to maintain specific obligations and elements of their life-style while taking part in drug and alcohol treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the degree of rehab provided in an inpatient or residential rehab program which is much more extensive. Outpatient treatment may be ideal for somebody who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use as an example, but will certainly not be sufficient for someone whose rehab needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often require a considerable change of environment, because most of the things that prompt their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. For example, if someone has been physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any treatment endeavours to achieve success should they go back to such conditions each day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can take advantage of group and individual therapy, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most centers offer services 6 or 7 days a week on either a part time or full time schedule for thirty days or longer in some cases.
