Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the ability to maintain specific obligations and aspects of their lifestyle while taking part in drug and alcohol treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of treatment, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of rehab provided within an inpatient or residential rehab setting that is a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment might be ideal for a person who has a brief history of substance abuse as an example, but will most definitely not be adequate for someone whose treatment needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often require a considerable change of environment, because most of the things that trigger their drug and alcohol use are purely environmental. By way of example, when someone is being physically or psychologically abused and this is prompting their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any rehabilitation efforts to achieve success if they go back to such situations every day. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and individual therapy, as well as family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services six or seven days per week on either a part-time or full-time basis for thirty days or longer in some instances.
