Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the chance to sustain specific responsibilities and elements of their lifestyle while getting involved in alcohol and drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the degree of rehab provided within an inpatient or residential rehab setting that is much more extensive. Outpatient treatment could be ideal for a person who has a short history of drug or alcohol use for instance, but will most surely not be adequate for somebody whose rehabilitation needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals involved in drug abuse often need an extreme environmental change, because many of the things which prompt their substance abuse are strictly environmental. As an example, when someone is being physically or emotionally mistreated and this is prompting their substance abuse, there is no way for any treatment endeavours to achieve success whenever they return to such situations on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can take advantage of group and one-on-one counseling, as well as family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most centers will provide services 5 to 7 days a week on either a part time or full-time schedule for four weeks or longer in some cases.
