Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the ability to maintain certain responsibilities and elements of their lifestyle while taking part in alcohol and drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of treatment, and shouldn't be mistaken for the degree of rehab offered in an inpatient or residential rehab program that's a lot more intensive. Outpatient treatment may be suitable for somebody who has a short history of drug or alcohol use for example, but will most surely not be adequate for somebody whose rehab needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals involved in drug abuse often require an extreme change of environment, because many of the things which trigger their drug abuse are strictly environmental. For instance, when someone has been physically or emotionally mistreated and this is prompting their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any rehab endeavours to have success whenever they return to such situations every day. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and individual counseling, in addition to family therapy 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.
