Outpatient treatment gives treatment clients the ability to sustain specific responsibilities and elements of their way of life while taking part in drug and alcohol treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate degree of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the amount of rehab offered within an inpatient or residential rehabilitation setting which can be significantly more extensive. Outpatient treatment might be well suited for anyone who has a brief history of substance abuse as an example, but will almost certainly not be adequate for someone whose rehab needs exceed what outpatient treatment is able to offer. Individuals involved in drug and alcohol use often need a considerable environmental change, because most of the things which prompt their drug and alcohol use are purely environmental. For example, if someone else has been physically or psychologically abused and this is triggering their drug abuse, there is no way for any rehabilitation endeavours to have success whenever they go back to such circumstances on a regular basis. In outpatient treatment, clients can engage in group and one-on-one therapy, in addition to family counseling services. In outpatient treatment, most facilities offer services 6 or 7 days per week on either a part-time or full time schedule for 1 month or longer in some cases.
