Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the opportunity to maintain specific responsibilities and elements of their lifestyle while taking part in drug rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the amount of rehabilitation offered in an inpatient or residential treatment setting which is significantly more intensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be well suited for someone who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for example, but will most definitely not be sufficient for an individual whose rehab needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals involved in drug and alcohol use often require a considerable change of environment, because many of the things that prompt their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. For example, if a person has been physically or psychologically abused and this is prompting their substance abuse, it's impossible for any rehab endeavours to have success whenever they return to such circumstances every day. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and one-on-one counseling, as well as family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services 6 or 7 days a week on either a part-time or full time basis for four weeks or longer in some cases.
