Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the opportunity to sustain specific obligations and aspects of their lifestyle while taking part in drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate amount of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the degree of rehab offered in an inpatient or residential treatment setting that is significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment may be suitable for someone who has a brief history of drug or alcohol use for instance, but will most surely not be sufficient for a person whose treatment needs go beyond what outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals dealing with drug abuse often need a considerable environmental change, because most of the things which prompt their drug abuse are purely environmental. For instance, if someone else is being physically or psychologically mistreated and this is triggering their drug abuse, it's impossible for any rehab efforts to succeed whenever they return to such circumstances on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and one-on-one counseling, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services six or seven days per week on either a part time or full time schedule for thirty days or longer in some cases.
