Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the ability to sustain certain obligations and aspects of their lifestyle while getting involved in alcohol and drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the degree of rehabilitation offered within an inpatient or residential treatment program that is a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment could be well suited for anyone who has a brief history of substance abuse as an example, but will certainly not be sufficient for an individual whose rehab needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals involved in substance abuse often require an extreme environmental change, because many of the things that prompt their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. As an example, when someone is being physically or psychologically abused and this is prompting their drug abuse, it's impossible for any rehabilitation efforts to have success whenever they go back to such situations each day. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and one-on-one therapy, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services six or seven days per week on either a part time or full time schedule for four weeks or longer in some cases.
