Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the chance to sustain certain obligations and aspects of their way of life while getting involved in drug and alcohol rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of treatment, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of treatment offered within an inpatient or residential treatment setting which is a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment may be suitable for anyone who has a brief history of substance abuse for instance, but will certainly not be sufficient for an individual whose rehab needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often require an extreme change of environment, because many of the things that prompt their drug abuse are strictly environmental. As an example, if a person has been physically or emotionally abused and this is prompting their substance abuse, it's impossible for any treatment endeavours to have success should they go back to such circumstances every day. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and one-on-one counseling, along with family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most programs will provide services six or seven days a week on either a part time or full time basis for thirty days or longer in some cases.
