Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the opportunity to sustain specific responsibilities and elements of their lifestyle while taking part in drug and alcohol rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of treatment, and should not be mistaken for the degree of rehabilitation provided within an inpatient or residential treatment program that is much more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be suited to somebody who has a short history of drug abuse for instance, but will almost certainly not be sufficient for a person whose rehabilitation needs exceed what outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals involved in drug abuse often require a considerable environmental change, because most of the things that prompt their drug abuse are strictly environmental. For example, if someone is being physically or emotionally mistreated and this is prompting their substance abuse, it's impossible for any rehab endeavours to achieve success should they go back to such conditions on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and one-on-one therapy, as well as family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most centers offer services six or seven days per week on either a part time or full-time schedule for 1 month or longer in some cases.
