Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the ability to maintain certain responsibilities and elements of their lifestyle while taking part in alcohol and drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the degree of treatment provided within an inpatient or residential rehab program which can be a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment might be suitable for a person who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for instance, but will most surely not be sufficient for someone whose rehabilitation needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals involved in drug abuse often need an extreme environmental change, because many of the things that trigger their substance abuse are purely environmental. For instance, if someone has been physically or emotionally abused and this is triggering their substance abuse, it's impossible for any rehabilitation endeavours to succeed whenever they go back to such conditions on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and one-on-one therapy, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most centers offer services 6 or 7 days a week on either a part-time or full-time basis for four weeks or longer in some instances.
