Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to sustain certain responsibilities and aspects of their way of life while getting involved in alcohol and drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the level of rehabilitation offered within an inpatient or residential treatment setting which is significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment might be suited to anyone who has a short history of drug or alcohol use for instance, but will most surely not be adequate for a person whose rehab needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often need a considerable environmental change, because many of the things that trigger their drug and alcohol use are purely environmental. As an example, if a person has been physically or psychologically mistreated and this is triggering their drug abuse, there is no way for any treatment endeavours to achieve success if they return to such conditions on a daily basis. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and one-on-one counseling, as well as family therapy services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services five to seven days each week on either a part time or full time schedule for 1 month or longer in some cases.
