Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the ability to maintain certain obligations and elements of their way of life while taking part in drug and alcohol treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the amount of treatment provided in an inpatient or residential rehab program that's much more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be well suited for someone who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use as an example, but will certainly not be adequate for someone whose rehab needs exceed what outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often require an extreme environmental change, because many of the things which trigger their substance abuse are strictly environmental. For instance, if a person has been physically or emotionally mistreated and this is prompting their drug or alcohol use, it's impossible for any rehab endeavours to achieve success if they go back to such circumstances every day. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and one-on-one counseling, as well as family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most programs will provide services six or seven days a week on either a part-time or full time schedule for four weeks or longer in some cases.
