Outpatient treatment gives rehabilitation clients the chance to maintain certain responsibilities and elements of their life-style while taking part in drug and alcohol treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehabilitation, and shouldn't be mistaken for the level of treatment provided within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting which can be a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment may be suitable for somebody who has a short history of drug or alcohol use as an example, but will almost certainly not be sufficient for a person whose rehab needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often require an extreme change of environment, because most of the things that prompt their substance abuse are strictly environmental. By way of example, if someone else is being physically or emotionally mistreated and this is triggering their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any rehabilitation efforts to achieve success if they go back to such situations each day. In outpatient treatment, individuals can benefit from group and individual therapy, as well as family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services 6 or 7 days each week on either a part time or full-time basis for four weeks or longer in some instances.
