Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the chance to maintain specific obligations and elements of their life-style while taking part in drug and alcohol rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the level of treatment offered in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting that is a lot more intensive. Outpatient treatment could be ideal for anyone who has a brief history of drug abuse as an example, but will certainly not be adequate for someone whose rehabilitation needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often need an extreme change of environment, because most of the things that trigger their drug abuse are strictly environmental. For instance, if someone has been physically or emotionally mistreated and this is prompting their substance abuse, there is no way for any rehabilitation endeavours to achieve success should they return to such situations on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and one-on-one counseling, in addition to family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most centers offer services five to seven days each week on either a part time or full-time schedule for four weeks or longer in some cases.
