Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the chance to sustain specific obligations and aspects of their lifestyle while getting involved in drug and alcohol rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehab, and shouldn't be mistaken for the degree of rehabilitation provided in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program that's significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment may be well suited for anyone who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for instance, but will certainly not be adequate for an individual whose treatment needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals dealing with substance abuse often require a considerable change of environment, because many of the things that trigger their drug abuse are purely environmental. For example, if someone else has been physically or emotionally mistreated and this is triggering their drug abuse, there is no way for any rehab efforts to have success if they go back to such circumstances each day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and one-on-one therapy, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most centers offer services 6 or 7 days per week on either a part-time or full-time schedule for thirty days or longer in some cases.
