Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the chance to maintain specific obligations and aspects of their way of life while taking part in alcohol and drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehab, and shouldn't be mistaken for the amount of rehab provided in an inpatient or residential rehab setting which can be a lot more intensive. Outpatient treatment may be well suited for someone who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for example, but will most definitely not be adequate for a person whose rehab needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals involved in drug abuse often require a considerable environmental change, because many of the things that prompt their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. By way of example, if someone else has been physically or psychologically mistreated and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, it's impossible for any treatment endeavours to succeed whenever they return to such situations on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and individual therapy, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most programs will provide services 5 to 7 days a week on either a part-time or full time schedule for four weeks or longer in some instances.
