Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the opportunity to maintain specific responsibilities and aspects of their lifestyle while taking part in drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehab, and should not be mistaken for the degree of rehab offered within an inpatient or residential treatment program that is significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment could possibly be well suited for a person who has a short history of drug abuse for instance, but will most surely not be sufficient for somebody whose rehabilitation needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to provide. Individuals involved in drug abuse often need an extreme change of environment, because many of the things which prompt their drug and alcohol use are strictly environmental. As an example, when someone has been physically or psychologically abused and this is prompting their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any treatment endeavours to succeed whenever they go back to such situations on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and one-on-one therapy, as well as family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services 5 to 7 days a week on either a part time or full-time basis for four weeks or longer in some cases.
