Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the opportunity to sustain certain responsibilities and aspects of their way of life while getting involved in drug and alcohol treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of treatment, and should not be mistaken for the amount of rehab offered in an inpatient or residential treatment setting that's a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment may be suited to someone who has a short history of drug abuse as an example, but will certainly not be adequate for somebody whose rehabilitation needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often need a considerable environmental change, because most of the things that prompt their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. By way of example, if someone is being physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their substance abuse, there is no way for any rehab efforts to have success whenever they return to such situations each day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and one-on-one therapy, in addition to family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services 5 to 7 days each week on either a part-time or full time schedule for four weeks or longer in some instances.
