Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the ability to sustain certain obligations and aspects of their life-style while taking part in alcohol and drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the level of rehabilitation provided within an inpatient or residential treatment setting that's much more extensive. Outpatient treatment might be ideal for a person who has a short history of drug abuse for example, but will most definitely not be sufficient for somebody whose rehabilitation needs exceed what outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals involved in substance abuse often require an extreme change of environment, because most of the things that prompt their substance abuse are strictly environmental. By way of example, if someone else has been physically or emotionally mistreated and this is prompting their drug abuse, it's impossible for any rehabilitation efforts to have success whenever they go back to such conditions on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and individual counseling, as well as family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services six or seven days each week on either a part time or full-time basis for thirty days or longer in some instances.
