Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to sustain certain obligations and elements of their lifestyle while taking part in drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the degree of rehabilitation offered in an inpatient or residential treatment program which can be a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment might be suitable for someone who has a brief history of substance abuse for instance, but will almost certainly not be adequate for a person whose treatment needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often require a considerable environmental change, because most of the things which trigger their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. By way of example, when someone is being physically or psychologically mistreated and this is prompting their drug or alcohol use, it's impossible for any treatment efforts to achieve success should they go back to such circumstances on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and individual therapy, as well as 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 cases.
