Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to maintain specific responsibilities and elements of their life-style while taking part in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehab, and shouldn't be mistaken for the amount of rehabilitation offered in an inpatient or residential rehab setting which can be significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment might be ideal for someone who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for instance, but will most surely not be sufficient for an individual whose rehab needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals involved in substance abuse often need an extreme environmental change, because many of the things that prompt their substance abuse are purely environmental. For example, when someone has been physically or psychologically mistreated and this is prompting their substance abuse, it's impossible for any rehabilitation endeavours to succeed if they return to such circumstances on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and one-on-one therapy, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most centers will provide services six or seven days per week on either a part-time or full time basis for 30 days or longer in some cases.
