Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the opportunity to maintain specific responsibilities and aspects of their lifestyle while taking part in alcohol and drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the degree of rehabilitation provided in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program that is significantly more intensive. Outpatient treatment might be well suited for anyone who has a brief history of drug abuse for instance, but will most surely not be sufficient for a person whose treatment needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals involved in substance abuse often require a considerable environmental change, because many of the things which trigger their drug abuse are purely environmental. For instance, when someone has been physically or psychologically abused and this is prompting their drug or alcohol use, it's impossible for any rehab endeavours to succeed if they go back to such situations each day. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and individual counseling, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most programs offer services 5 to 7 days each week on either a part-time or full-time basis for 30 days or longer in some instances.
