Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the chance to maintain specific obligations and elements of their way of life while taking part in alcohol and drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of treatment, and should not be mistaken for the degree of rehabilitation provided within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program which is a lot more intensive. Outpatient treatment may be suited to anyone who has a short history of substance abuse for instance, but will almost certainly not be sufficient for someone whose rehab needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals dealing with substance abuse often need an extreme change of environment, because many of the things that trigger their drug abuse are strictly environmental. For instance, when someone is being physically or psychologically mistreated and this is prompting their substance abuse, there is no way for any treatment endeavours to succeed should they return to such circumstances on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and individual therapy, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most centers offer services six or seven days a week on either a part time or full-time basis for 30 days or longer in some instances.
