Outpatient treatment gives rehab clients the opportunity to maintain certain obligations and aspects of their life-style while taking part in alcohol and drug treatment services. Outpatient treatment is a moderate level of rehabilitation, and should not be mistaken for the degree of rehabilitation offered within an inpatient or residential treatment setting that's a lot more extensive. Outpatient treatment could be suited to someone who has a short history of drug or alcohol use as an example, but will certainly not be adequate for an individual whose treatment needs exceed that which outpatient treatment is able to provide. Individuals dealing with drug and alcohol use often require a considerable environmental change, because most of the things which trigger their substance abuse are strictly environmental. For instance, if a person has been physically or emotionally abused and this is triggering their substance abuse, it's impossible for any rehab endeavours to have success if 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 programs will provide services 6 or 7 days per week on either a part time or full-time schedule for 1 month or longer in some instances.
