Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the opportunity to sustain certain obligations and aspects of their life-style while getting involved in alcohol and drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of rehab provided within an inpatient or residential rehab setting which is significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment may be well suited for somebody who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for example, but will certainly not be sufficient for someone whose rehab needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often require a considerable change of environment, because most of the things that prompt their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. By way of example, if a person has been physically or emotionally abused and this is prompting their substance abuse, there is no way for any rehab endeavours to have success if they go back to such situations each day. In outpatient treatment, clients can benefit from group and one-on-one therapy, as well as family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most programs offer services 6 or 7 days a week on either a part time or full-time basis for 1 month or longer in some cases.
