Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the chance to sustain certain obligations and aspects of their life-style while getting involved in drug and alcohol rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the amount of rehabilitation offered in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting that's much more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be suitable for anyone who has a brief history of drug abuse as an example, but will most definitely not be adequate for an individual whose rehab needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often require an extreme change of environment, because many of the things that prompt their drug abuse are strictly environmental. For example, if someone is being physically or psychologically mistreated and this is triggering their substance abuse, there is no way for any rehabilitation efforts to succeed if they return to such situations on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can engage in group and one-on-one therapy, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most centers will provide services 5 to 7 days per week on either a part time or full time basis for four weeks or longer in some instances.
