Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the ability to sustain specific obligations and elements of their lifestyle while taking part in alcohol and drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of treatment, and should not be mistaken for the amount of rehab provided within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation program which is much more extensive. Outpatient treatment may be ideal for a person who has a short history of drug abuse as an example, but will most surely not be adequate for somebody whose rehab needs go beyond that which outpatient treatment is prepared to offer. Individuals involved in drug and alcohol use often require a considerable environmental change, because many of the things that prompt their drug abuse are purely environmental. As an example, if someone is being physically or emotionally abused and this is prompting their drug or alcohol use, there is no way for any rehab endeavours to succeed whenever they return to such circumstances every day. In outpatient treatment, clients can take advantage of group and one-on-one counseling, along with family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities will provide services 6 or 7 days per week on either a part-time or full-time schedule for four weeks or longer in some instances.
