Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the ability to sustain certain responsibilities and aspects of their way of life while taking part in alcohol and drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of treatment, and should not be mistaken for the degree of rehab offered in an inpatient or residential treatment setting that's much more extensive. Outpatient treatment may be ideal for someone who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for instance, but will most surely not be sufficient for somebody whose rehab needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals involved in drug and alcohol use often need an extreme environmental change, because most of the things that prompt their substance abuse are strictly environmental. By way of example, when someone is being physically or emotionally mistreated and this is triggering their substance abuse, there is no way for any treatment endeavours to achieve success if they return to such situations on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can take advantage of group and one-on-one counseling, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most centers offer services 5 to 7 days a week on either a part-time or full-time basis for 30 days or longer in some cases.
