Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the opportunity to sustain certain obligations and aspects of their lifestyle while taking part in alcohol and drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of treatment, and shouldn't be mistaken for the degree of rehabilitation provided within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting which can be significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment might be suited to someone who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for example, but will certainly not be sufficient for someone whose treatment needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often need an extreme change of environment, because many of the things that prompt their substance abuse are strictly environmental. For instance, if someone else is being physically or emotionally abused and this is prompting their drug abuse, there is no way for any rehab efforts to have success should they go back to such situations on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and one-on-one therapy, in addition to family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most programs offer services 6 or 7 days a week on either a part time or full-time schedule for thirty days or longer in some instances.
