Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the ability to maintain certain obligations and aspects of their life-style while getting involved in alcohol and drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the degree of rehab provided within an inpatient or residential rehab setting that's much more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be ideal for somebody who has a short history of drug or alcohol use for instance, but will almost certainly not be sufficient for an individual whose rehabilitation needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals involved in drug abuse often require an extreme environmental change, because many of the things that trigger their substance abuse are purely environmental. By way of example, when someone has been physically or emotionally abused and this is triggering their drug abuse, it's impossible for any rehab efforts to succeed if they go back to such situations on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and one-on-one counseling, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most centers will provide services 5 to 7 days a week on either a part-time or full-time basis for 30 days or longer in some cases.
