Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the opportunity to sustain certain obligations and elements of their life-style while taking part in alcohol and drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of treatment offered in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting that's much more extensive. Outpatient treatment could be suited to a person who has a short history of drug abuse for example, but will most surely not be sufficient for someone whose rehab needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals involved in drug abuse often require an extreme environmental change, because most of the things that trigger their drug abuse are strictly environmental. By way of example, if someone else is being physically or emotionally abused and this is triggering their drug abuse, it's impossible for any treatment efforts to achieve success should they go back to such conditions every day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and one-on-one counseling, as well as family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most centers offer services five to seven days each week on either a part-time or full-time basis for 30 days or longer in some cases.
