Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the ability to sustain certain obligations and elements of their life-style while taking part in drug and alcohol rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of treatment, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of treatment provided within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting which can be significantly more intensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be suitable for a person who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for instance, but will most surely not be adequate for an individual whose rehabilitation needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often need an extreme change of environment, because many of the things that trigger their drug and alcohol use are purely environmental. For example, if someone else has been physically or psychologically mistreated and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any treatment efforts to have success whenever they go back to such conditions every day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and one-on-one therapy, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most centers will provide services six or seven days a week on either a part time or full time schedule for four weeks or longer in some instances.
