Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to sustain certain responsibilities and elements of their way of life while getting involved in alcohol and drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the degree of rehab provided within an inpatient or residential treatment program which is much more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be suitable for someone who has a short history of drug or alcohol use for instance, but will most surely not be adequate for a person whose treatment needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often need a considerable environmental change, because most of the things that prompt their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. By way of example, if a person is being physically or emotionally abused and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any treatment endeavours to achieve success should they return to such conditions each day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can take advantage of group and one-on-one therapy, in addition to family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most centers will provide services six or seven days a week on either a part time or full time schedule for 30 days or longer in some instances.
