Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to maintain certain responsibilities and aspects of their lifestyle while taking part in alcohol and drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the amount of rehabilitation provided in an inpatient or residential rehab program that is a lot more intensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be ideal for a person who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use as an example, but will most surely not be adequate for someone whose rehabilitation needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often need an extreme change of environment, because most of the things which prompt their substance abuse are purely environmental. By way of example, if someone else has been physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their substance abuse, there is no way for any rehab endeavours to succeed if they return to such circumstances each day. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and one-on-one therapy, in addition to family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities 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.
