Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the chance to sustain certain responsibilities and aspects of their lifestyle while taking part in drug and alcohol rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the degree of treatment provided within an inpatient or residential treatment program which is a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be suitable for someone who has a brief history of substance abuse for example, but will certainly not be sufficient for a person whose rehab needs exceed what outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals dealing with substance abuse often need a considerable environmental change, because most of the things that prompt their substance abuse are purely environmental. By way of example, if a person is being physically or emotionally mistreated and this is prompting their drug abuse, it's impossible for any treatment efforts to succeed whenever they return to such situations each day. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and individual therapy, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services five to seven days per week on either a part time or full-time schedule for four weeks or longer in some instances.
