Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the chance to maintain specific responsibilities and elements of their way of life while getting involved in drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehab, and shouldn't be mistaken for the degree of treatment provided within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting which can be significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be well suited for somebody who has a short history of drug or alcohol use for instance, but will certainly not be adequate for someone whose rehab needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often require an extreme environmental change, because most of the things which trigger their drug abuse are strictly environmental. As an example, if a person is being physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, it's impossible for any rehab endeavours to achieve success should they return to such circumstances each day. 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 basis for four weeks or longer in some cases.
