Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to sustain specific responsibilities and elements of their way of life while taking part in alcohol and drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of treatment, and should not be mistaken for the degree of rehab offered in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting that is a lot more intensive. Outpatient treatment could be ideal for a person who has a short history of drug abuse for instance, but will almost certainly not be sufficient for somebody whose rehabilitation needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals involved in drug abuse often need an extreme environmental change, because most of the things that trigger their substance abuse are purely environmental. For instance, when someone has been physically or emotionally mistreated and this is triggering their substance abuse, it's impossible for any treatment endeavours to succeed if they return to such circumstances on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and one-on-one counseling, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services five to seven days a week on either a part-time or full time basis for four weeks or longer in some cases.
