Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the ability to maintain certain obligations and aspects of their lifestyle while taking part in drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the amount of rehab provided in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program that's significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment may be suited to somebody who has a short history of drug abuse as an example, but will certainly not be adequate for a person whose rehab needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often need a considerable change of environment, because many of the things that prompt their drug and alcohol use are purely environmental. For example, if a person has been physically or emotionally abused and this is prompting their drug or alcohol use, it's impossible for any rehab endeavours 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 five to seven days per week on either a part time or full time basis for four weeks or longer in some instances.
