Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the ability to sustain specific responsibilities and aspects of their lifestyle while getting involved in drug and alcohol rehab services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the amount of rehabilitation offered within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting which is a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment could be ideal for someone who has a brief history of drug abuse for instance, but will almost certainly not be sufficient for an individual whose treatment needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals involved in drug and alcohol use often need an extreme environmental change, because many of the things which trigger their substance abuse are purely environmental. As an example, if someone is being physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any rehabilitation efforts to achieve success should they go back to such conditions each day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and one-on-one therapy, in addition to family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services 5 to 7 days a week on either a part time or full-time schedule for 30 days or longer in some cases.
