Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the chance to sustain specific obligations and elements of their lifestyle while getting involved in drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the degree of rehabilitation provided in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program which is a lot more intensive. Outpatient treatment may be well suited for someone who has a short history of drug abuse for instance, but will certainly not be sufficient for somebody whose treatment needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals involved in drug and alcohol use often require a considerable environmental change, because most of the things that prompt their substance abuse are strictly environmental. As an example, when someone is being physically or emotionally mistreated and this is prompting their drug abuse, there is no way for any rehabilitation efforts to achieve success should they go back to such conditions on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and one-on-one counseling, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most programs will provide services 6 or 7 days each week on either a part time or full time schedule for four weeks or longer in some instances.
