Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the opportunity to maintain specific responsibilities and elements of their lifestyle while getting involved in drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehab, and shouldn't be mistaken for the degree of rehab offered in an inpatient or residential treatment setting which is much more intensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be well suited for someone who has a short history of drug or alcohol use for instance, but will most definitely not be adequate for an individual whose rehab needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals involved in drug abuse often need an extreme environmental change, because most of the things that trigger their substance abuse 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 have success should they return to such situations each day. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and individual therapy, as well as family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services six or seven days a week on either a part-time or full time schedule for four weeks or longer in some cases.
