Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the opportunity to sustain specific obligations and aspects of their lifestyle while taking part in drug rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehab, and shouldn't be mistaken for the degree of rehabilitation provided within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program which is much more intensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be ideal for someone who has a short history of substance abuse as an example, but will certainly not be sufficient for somebody whose treatment needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals involved in substance abuse often require an extreme environmental change, because many of the things which trigger their drug abuse are purely environmental. For instance, if someone is being physically or emotionally mistreated and this is triggering their substance abuse, it's impossible for any rehab efforts to have success whenever they return to such conditions on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can engage in group and individual counseling, in addition to family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most centers offer services 6 or 7 days each week on either a part-time or full time schedule for four weeks or longer in some instances.
