Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the chance to maintain specific responsibilities and aspects of their life-style while getting involved in alcohol and drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of treatment, and shouldn't be mistaken for the amount of rehabilitation offered in an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program which is significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment might be suitable for someone who has a brief history of drug abuse for example, but will most surely not be sufficient for somebody whose rehab needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals involved in drug and alcohol use often require an extreme environmental change, because most of the things that prompt their drug abuse are purely environmental. As an example, if someone else is being physically or psychologically mistreated and this is prompting their drug or alcohol use, it's impossible for any rehab endeavours to achieve success whenever they return to such conditions on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and one-on-one therapy, as well as family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most programs will provide services five to seven days per week on either a part time or full-time basis for four weeks or longer in some instances.
