Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the ability to sustain certain obligations and aspects of their life-style while taking part in alcohol and drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of treatment, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of treatment offered within an inpatient or residential treatment program that's much more intensive. Outpatient treatment may be suited to someone who has a brief history of drug abuse for instance, but will certainly not be adequate for somebody whose rehab needs exceed what outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals involved in drug abuse often require an extreme environmental change, because most of the things which prompt their drug abuse are strictly environmental. For instance, if someone has been physically or emotionally abused and this is triggering their substance abuse, it's impossible for any rehab endeavours to succeed if they go back to such situations on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can take advantage of 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 basis for four weeks or longer in some instances.
