Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the ability to maintain specific obligations and aspects of their life-style while getting involved in drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the degree of treatment offered within an inpatient or residential rehab program that's much more extensive. Outpatient treatment might be suitable for somebody who has a short history of drug abuse for example, but will most definitely not be adequate for someone whose treatment needs exceed what outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals involved in drug abuse often need a considerable environmental change, because many of the things which trigger their drug and alcohol use are purely environmental. For instance, if someone else is being physically or psychologically mistreated and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, it's impossible for any rehabilitation endeavours to succeed should they return to such conditions on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and individual therapy, as well as family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most centers will provide services five to seven days a week on either a part-time or full time schedule for thirty days or longer in some instances.
