Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the ability to sustain specific obligations and elements of their life-style while getting involved in alcohol and drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the level of rehab offered within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program that is much more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be ideal for anyone who has a short history of drug or alcohol use as an example, but will certainly not be sufficient for an individual whose rehab needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals involved in drug abuse often need a considerable environmental change, because many of the things that prompt their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. For example, if someone has been physically or psychologically mistreated and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, it's impossible for any rehabilitation endeavours to have success should they return to such situations each day. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and one-on-one therapy, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most centers will provide services six or seven days per week on either a part-time or full time schedule for four weeks or longer in some instances.
